Yowsa! That is a hell of a story!
My folks had to send letters to my birth mom as kind of an "interview" process.
She was able to choose between several "applicants".
She also sent a picture of her when she was pregnant with me. She was holding my 2 year old brother in the picture...
I did send him a message recently Stig.
My sister used the same guy.......recommended/required by the Nuns.
She said she had to get kind of pushy with him. I would hate to have to do that.
It took him 4 years and more money to finally ask the grand parents where their daughter was!
Couldn't find it for Montana.
Said it was up to the courts in most states. Judge's discretion sort of thing.
Hell, the Nuns would not tell me anything.....I had to hire a guy.
Makes me think someone is protecting a revenue stream.
I might should ask my lawyer.
I think he mis counted.
Its a few posts down.
Looks like it was written in a language that uses the symbol that means the artist formerly known as Prince.
I see that from time to time......like a question mark gets inserted where its not supposed to or the US dollar symbol.
Not just here, but lots of other places.
Fitting, really.
All those goofy foreign letters may as well just be question marks to me.
I was shopping for a Russian knife sharpening system last night....and the page did not translate.
Mostly question marks.
Does anyone know how to get records unsealed?
I know I mentioned it before, but I was adopted through the Catholics. It was in '83.....they year before they stopped sealing the records.
They sealed the records even if both parties wanted them open. Oh, well.
So I hired a private...
When I was a baby I had almond shaped eyes, which kinda looked weird with blond hair!
So far I have found out I am mostly Welsh and English, and Native something or other. With a bit of Norwegian.
The Welsh makes sense from where I was born, Butte, MT. Lots of miners over there from...
Not sure if I mentioned it before, but I went to 23 and Me and got a DNA test done.
Being adopted, I often wondered where I was from.
Got a little update today. Seems a good portion of my DNA is shared with the native people of this region. Guess it makes sense, birth certificate said...
I just made contact with a woman that had information on the Whitecaps.
Turns out her husbands distant relative was a Whitecap, and he was killed by the Conrad brothers that morning.
He had five children.
Good stories Mick and Andrey.
Yes, I think about it too. How improbable it is that we should be here at all. All the things that had to happen just right.
Yes. Been on that site for about four years now. I like it a lot and originally got started as a way to kill time while night calving.
The privateer story is cool Bermy!
How bout it Mick? You said you had a good one.
Yeah, the Conrad's can be a sporty bunch Gary. My great grandmother got in a gunfight with bootleggers in her kitchen once. She used to show the bullet holes to my dad.
Jaysus Willard! A 4000 pound bomb? Cool story.
So about three years ago I started researching my family roots. I dont have a clue about my biological parents, but I have had good success with my adoptive parents.
