I know how that is, I didn't even know my Father, or any of my Grandparents, That's how come I started Tracing my Family Tree, after I got older, I have found family that I never dreamed that I had.
I didn't have any photos either, but I have found quite a few over the years as I have added to my family, even got one returned to me, of a Great Aunt, from Eugene, Oregon
