Here’s my mom! I love her!

This blog is dedicated to finding my mom’s biological family.   I will be recording any kind of findings, dna matches, records that may  help, non-id info, etc.  I am currently STUCK.  Lots of close DNA matches but the families are all very large.  Please keep reading for non-ID info of birth parents.

  2. Hello, I have been watching and re watching your tutorial videos. I am helping my adoptee friend locate his birth parents. I have a question, if his DNA is linked to his closest match (predicted and cousin) whu wouldnt I get any shared ancestors? Its been 2 days. I think I may have done something incorrectly.
