Best of luck! Sounds like it will be interesting at the very least.

My father was adopted and I've always wondered about that side of my family but since it was 1937 I doubt there are many records that could be used to trace anything.

Wasn’t Steve Martin in a movie like this? Found out he really wasn’t black or something.

Good luck Jimbo.

Been getting some family names from people on 23andMe.

No idea which side of the family.


Jim,

Check their Mitochondrial type. If you share the same type the person is from your biological mothers side. If they are male and they have the same Y chromosome they are likely from your biological fathers side unless it’s a coincidence. This is especially easy to do if you are of mixed ancestry since you will be descended from people of multiple distinct lineages.

Good luck in these endeavors. What an amazing time we live in that we can find these things out.

If you do the ancestry thing you may find it faster to piece your family tree together.

Good luck with your search JC. Both of my kids are adopted, and they're a couple of the biggest blessings of my life.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I had twin older brothers (from my birth father) find me last year. One of them had done a DNA genealogy test and my uncle had as well. They matched up as family and that was that. Funny thing was they had met before, and I used to live about 5 miles from where they grew up with their adopted family.

Very true. You also may find out they want nothing to do with you. It can be a bad deal. There is only one way to find out.

You might find out that your grandfather, 8 generations removed, was Meriwether Lewis. Good luck with your research.

A friend of mine is adopted and found his biological dad when he matched on Ancestry with a cousin. His dad didn’t even know he existed. They have continued a relationship and they are very similar personality wise. He eventually tracked down his biological mother and she wanted nothing to do with him. Basically said she put him up for a reason. Apparently he has a lot of half siblings on her side with multiple fathers. For him that sucked but he respects her wishes and it was closure for him.

Good luck, Jim! Sincerely.


What if you find out you're the world's tallest midget? That would be pretty cool!

Yeah, the people at vital statistics in Helena are really great to deal with.
I have done alot of research on my own family and have dealt with them in Helena as my Grandmother was born at Wolf Point.
There are adoptions in my family too. So one day I am sitting around and the ph rings, it is a 1st cousin that was adopted in 1955, we keep in touch now.
Good luck to you Jim.
