For more info about Jobs read "West of Eden", a history of Apple Computer. 
It's quite well written.  It's also fairly pro-Jobs.

For another book about Jobs check out "Accidental Millionaire".  It is not --
IMHO -- as well written, but it gives a different perspective on Jobs, a more
negative one.  So reading both books might give you a balanced perspective. 
Or maybe not.

In relation to the original poster's info, from what I could gather from these
books an early girlfriend of Jobs -- with whom he lived for awhile -- had a
child, which she said was Jobs.  Jobs refused to pay child support (he was
worth millions by this time, she was broke) and was sued.  Eventually she won;
a test said with 90% plus probability that he was the father.  The child's name
was Lisa (no, they didn't name the computer after her).

(Disclaimer: the above is my recollection of what I read from the books; I
don't guarantee its accuracy.  Read the books for more info...)
