If you have their names and dates of birth, you can find them in about 2 mins on ancestry.com or one of the public record search sites. Don't laugh, either. I was in charge of my high school class reunion search committee. No one stayed in central Michigan in the early 80s because of the horrid economy. 150 people hadn't been heard from in 25 years. We found 147 of them through Ancestry.com and intellius.com in less than a week. It didn't cost us anything other than phone calls. My dearest suggestion is to find his original marriage license to her and figure out who her parents were. Then track down those parents, alive or dead. If they're dead, find the funeral home who handled the burial and ask them to forward a letter from you to the grandchildren because of the passing of their father. I'll guarantee they'll do it. If they don't have current info, they'll have a copy of the obituary and can at least give you more recent info than you probably have. You can do the same to find any brothers/sisters she had, as it's likely someone kept in touch with her and wouldn't be so cruel that they'd keep the kids from knowing their father died and where he is.

What is the name they changed it to? I would advise hiring a private detective. What was their original name? What is the name they changed it to? I would advise hiring a private detective.

Look up your 2nd great grandfather who was your uncle's 1st GGF. If he is there and has children named "Living Smith" or "Living Jones", it means the person who contributed that data base knows those people exist and their details are private. Click on "Descendancy". If you know your Uncles name was Hector Jablonski and his first wife was Malinda McCorkle, and you happen to find a "Living" Jablonski married to a "Living" McCorckle in the descenancy tree, write to the person who owns the data. He / She may be able to help you. You can try, but you’ll probably come up blank.
