    Hi, my grandmother used to call us maplantane when she was angry with th us. We found out later that our grandfather was a migrant worker from neighboring countries but he one day up and left. Unfortunately our granny did not even tell our parents who their father was or his names nor country of origin.
    How do I find this information about my grandfather?
