Thanked: 2204My stepdaughter used 23 and Me. She was trying to find her biological father..... and she did!
It is a longer story than I care to type just now but I was elated that she found him. It meant a lot to her.
They have now visited each other a number of times and he keeps in touch with her on a regular basis.
She knew of her Vietnamese ancestry of course but now knows she is also English and Irish!
She was shown a photo of her great grandmother on her fathers side and she bears an uncanny resemblance.
She now has a much larger family!

I had 2 great-aunts...one on my mother's side, one on my father's...
who got into a geneolgy competition many years ago. My great-aunt
on my mother's side traced her lineage all the way back to some
original colonists, one of whom was an actual Minuteman at Lexington.
She ended up qualifying to join the Daughters of the American Revolution.
This made my great-aunt on my father's side jealous.
So she began to investigate her lineage as well. But we never heard
anything about the result of her research. So, after she died, I asked
my father what she had uncovered.
He just laughed. It turns out that, on my father's side, our first American
ancestors were convicts, deported from England to the Georgia Penal Colony,
for stealing sheep.
Old Aunt Elsie was so mortified that she gave up on the project and never
mentioned it again.
I guess that makes me a WASP with a warrant."If you come up to it, and you just can't do it, then that's jolly well where you are."
