trinity50 on Family Tree Circles

Hi my name is Esmeralda and I am the daughter of the late John Wishnowsky. My father and mother never married and departed ways before I was borm in 1974. Since his death years ago have been interested in piecing the family history. I have the name Merville Hugh Wishnowsky which was his father and a name Julius Wilhelm Wishnowsky, unsure of who that is. I am very interested in knowing any information that I can read to find out about my ancestory. I have googled a lot of names but am very unsure and confused to who is whom to me. I was once in contact with Johns two sons from his previous marriage Chris and Leigh but have no contact with them for years now as they did share some knowledge of where we originally came from. It would be great to have any information. Thank you
