1 Is your father's name on your birth certificate? This is very important. Check under name of father in your birth certificate and does your father;'s name appear under name of father on your birth certificate?
The birth certificate is the only required evidence of your father if he is named in your birth certificate
2 Is the woman referred to as his wife his legal spouse(is your father married to her)? I assume she is not your mother.
3 Do you have a copy of your dad's death certificate? A search can be done to find out about any will if any.
4 Do you have a copy pf the deed for the property on which the house stands?
4 Do your father have any other children?
