I just got off the phone with a very helpful and nice lady at the Vital Records office in Helena.
Am trying to get my original birth certificate so I can get started on finding some information on my birth family.
The personnel at the Office were a pleasure to work with.
Just want to give them a shout out.
That is all.
I am MAGA.

Good luck Jim, technology has made this whole process easier.
I've got a Korean sister that is searching for blood relatives also. She's hoping to find answers through the DNA sites that are available.

Jamie Dutton did that and things went south real quick.
All kidding aside, good luck and good journey
A buddy who was also adopted did the 23 and me thing and found all sorts of family he didn't know about.

Good luck Jim! My friends wife found a 1/2 sister she and her siblings didn't know existed doing the DNA thing. I'm not sure I want to know who I'm related to, the family I know about is interesting enough

Good luck Jim.
I don't do the genetic thing. Some family members have, that's good enough for me.
I worry that someone else will find out that somewhere in Sicilia there is still a vendetta against our familia and the next thing I know black Cadillacs show up in our town, piloted by Vinnie and Vito.

I guess it’s time.
Hope it all goes well Jim.
Keep us posted.

All the best Jim. I met my biologicals at age 24 which is now 30 years ago. They ended up getting married and I have two full blood siblings. It's a surreal, but worthwhile endeavor. If nothing else, you get to learn about possible bloodline issues; diabetes, cancer, etc.
I wish you nothing but the best in this quest. I can't stress enough that it is a bit freaky, but something I am extremely glad I did. If I can offer any worthless advice, please contact me.

My wife got me a kit for 23 and me a few years back. Through that, got a book authored by a cousin about my mothers side of the family and then another cousin sent one he compiled for my father's side. Found two cousins I had lost track of and then learned of even more running around. Both books ran around 350 pages. That is just the start of what I learned.

I will at least have a name when I get my original birth certificate back.
Been getting some family names from people on 23andMe.
No idea which side of the family.
