Hi, Richard (Dick?); One of the purposes of the Calkins Family Association is to help individuals trace their Calkins ancestry.However, we generally do not record individuals within about the last hundred years, partly because of concerns about confidentiality.Sine you know your father's date and place of birth, you should be able to get a birth record from that place to get his parents, and then possibly get data on grandparents from a census or local records.
If you can get back a couple of generations, check with us again to see if we can connect the line to our genealogy database.
If you have fairly common Calkins names like Richard, William, John, etc., including spouse's names in a query speeds the search.
Good luck,Ken Calkins
