Interesting, the family history! I've been doing our family research since 1996 and I have a lot of great information about our ancestors. Actually, I found out 3 months ago, I had another brother, so that makes 15 of us!! WOW that was crazy. I have meet his daughter & one of his sons. I will be introducing them to the whole family come September. Sort of a surprise!!!!!! there was one more!!!!
It's funny how they found us through the DNA match but with the stories I had heard after my dad passed away, it fit to a T. Since my new brother passed away 3 years ago, his children were trying to find out where he came from and his daughter linked up to my niece. That's where all my family research came into play. I am getting her to double check with the adoption agency to be sure but it looks like it's a prefect match to us. Crazy world we live in!

Went online an started researching the census reports etc and have gone back as far as finding the parents of my great grand parents. Surprised to find out the DNA report is pretty accurate so far. Sure has turned out to be a fun and eye opening expierence I am Heinz 57 but according to the DNA results 47% is Western European and 29% is Irish Guess I will be wearing green from now on when it's St. Paddy's day
