    @Marydoll5 I'm so glad they're supportive of him. Are you looking after yourself too? Thank you, it's all been a shock for us, it just came out of nowhere. Seems like a similar situation to your brother-in-law. We're all here for you so keep talking to us and hopefully we can help 😊

    Ive had a DNA breakthrough got a message from a new match. Looking like it's on my real dad's side. And even comes from the town I grew up. I didn't know my real dad. DNA is amazing

    Ooh @Sandy_123 are you doing your ancestry? We've been doing our family and we got back to the 1700s!

    Glad you had a good journey @Teigr 😊

    That's amazing @Sandy_123. I bought the DNA kit from Ancestry for my mum and 3 months access. She called me the other day saying she wants to pay for 3 more months 😂 Hope you find some more matches!

    I don't agree with the extra charges to access things when you do a DNA when you already have a paid account. You also are blocked from transfering DNA from site to site and forced to take more tests

    Yeah I know. They like to get your money however they can!

    @Sandy_123 I didn't realise that about the DNA kit! I got a free Ancestry trial and paid for the DNA kit. I just checked and its a 3 month subscription. With getting Mabel it's sat in a cupboard for a month so I may dig it out and use it quickly.

    Congratulations on getting a connection x

    Its a bit crazy really I had nothing to go on except DNA and that never lies it's just a case of the more people that take it the more chances are of finding matches, but I think I struck lucky

    @Sandy_123

    What are you having for dinner @Lou67? Sounds like you had a lovely day 😊

    @Sandy_123 My partner has had those DNA things done, I think with Americans it can be really interesting because of how diverse the country is. My partners parents, one was from a Ukrainian Jewish family that migrated to the states in the early 1900s and the other was from a southern Italian family that migrated in the late 1800s. So it's quite interesting to see where everyone's ancestors came from.

    Meanwhile for me I think it was just two different counties of Ireland 😅
