Hello, my birth name (last name was greene)my birth father was James r. Greene and lived in Illinois,though I never got to meet him as my adoption records were closed and still closed because I have no $40.00 and at 'poverty level'. When I first put his name in the first name back in the 1980's that poped up was:Natanieal Greene(brig.gen)during george washingtons time. Also,next showed up:Brig.Gen.George Sears Greene (Culps Hill)Gettysburg. I found my father to late on the internet in 2005 he passed on. I did try to get ahold of his sibblings but they never tried to answer me. If you type in my name(christine brewer)in facebook there should be a picture of mewearing a us army skull cap or one of me with just a ballcap and glasses. You might take a close look at the facial features. My step mom even had said that I could of been related to:Lorne Greene the actor on Bananza.All my step mom had of my biological parents was their names:James R. Greene Agetha Lucia Latigue,Latique/Gatigue. I'm 59 4/18/1952 I had a event of 'sunstroke' back when I was young when my stepfolks lived in Elgin Illinois in the late 1950's. Just like Brig.Gen.Nathanial Greene. Please keep me intouch of pictures. I wish I had money and a way to clean up my possible ancestors gravesite. Last I looked up the boyscotts of the cubscouts had cleaned it up. Also why are people letting his grave get tore up? Keep in touch. Oh, I was in the regular army:1979-1981 I requested out:General Discharge with (2)accomindation letters,actualy it would of been three but that pfc wouldn't give it to me.
