I have not seen my bio dad in 35 years. I have done some searches and I know he lived in a few different states and had a business in one which is no longer there. I also know he has been married a few times and has had other children. I can't find a phone number for my bio dad but I think I found his ex wife online through her business website. My question is would it be wrong to either call the number or email her through that business site which I think she owns? I wanted to see if she had contact info for him. I also found a past business partner of his but with the other one I found I did call and left a message but I never got a call back.
For some reason I feel very weird calling people who may know him. I have a feeling he has done a lot of people wrong so I am not even sure if they have kept contact with him or he may have disappeared on them too.
Thank you for any thoughts or advice.

We see no harm in contacting the ex wife. You are just asking if she knows where someone lives. His former addresses can lead you to people who know him. His age could negate any child support issues if there ever were any.

I think for now I am going to wait. I feel weird contacting people from his past though I would not mind if someone contacted me.
I am thinking all his kids are older so for example he owed 18 years worth to my mom but now that would not be a factor.
Thanks again for your feedback
Thank you. I actually called the ex wife and she was so nice. I learned little about my bio dad but she has not hand contact with him in about 15 years. I am glad I called her.

Glad you called. You have nothing to lose. Either they say yes or no. Just because someone is creeped out doesn't mean everyone feels that way
I feel like there will be no other way to find him then to contact people who he may know or have known.
Though the ex wife did not know where he was we spoke for over 30 minutes and I learned things about him that I had not known.
