My Brother that I don't know

So where do I begin, about 15 years ago I went to the doctors office with my mother for what I thought was a normal OB check up.. Then during the check up the nurse said to my mother, this is your 5th pregancy right and I butted in and said no, this is only the 4th right mom. Then she replyed to the nurse yes this is my 5th one. My mouth hit the floor because, as far as I knew this really was only the 4th. So when we got to the car I asked her mom what is going on did you have a miscarriage before me or what? She told that she had a baby before me! So I asked her well then where is it? She told me it was none of my business and not to worry about it. At this time I was only
14 years old and really did not know what or anything that I could do about it.
So in the next few years I started asking my mom's good friends about it and one of them told that my mom was only 16 when this happened and in the process of being put in a foster care home herself! Then another told me that the baby was a boy,that made me happy but, still yet very sad as well. I really need to get more information about my other brother! But, who to ask was my problem. So I did it I broke down and ask mom again and she did not tell me anything but, a slap in the face! So just then I thought well I'll asked my grandma. So I did and at first she did not want to tell me anything either. Then I started to explain to her how I felt that I had the right to know my brother.
Then she said ok I guess I will tell you all that I know about him. So she told me just about the same thing that my mothers friends had told me so this is what I know so if anybody in this world can help me it would mean the world to me and my other brothers and sisters.
I know that the baby was a boy born to Jackie Elizabeth Berry who is my mother, and that my brother was born in 1972. My e-mail address is www.blueberry@alldial.net thank you
