A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Alaska Who Chose To Be Featured
166. Mishal : In search of a Robinson (surname) male from Kentucky. He may have spent time in Tanana‚ Alaska and Fairbanks‚ AK in 1957. He may have known Dora Tooyak from Point Hope‚ Alaska. He may have been in the Army or Air Force.
167. LauriSliney : I connected with my sister Vicky and our DNA results showed we have the same father (and mother‚ but we knew that). So now we’re trying to identify our biological father. The DNA points to a Robert Wiley Peterson X‚ who died in 1970 and was otherwise childless. We’re hoping to find anyone who can place him in Alaska (probably both Fairbanks and Anchorage) in 1959 and early 1960‚ when we were conceived. So far‚ messaging our DNA matches hasn’t been super helpful.

Amanda was adopted at 3

170. Alaskadawn : My daughter was born in Valdez, Alaska and adopted by a family who lived in Eagle River, AK at the time of the adoption. The Catholic church helped with the adoption arrangements. My name at the time was Dawn McDonald.
171. Rk33 : I was born jeffrey douglas lovell. Born to Douglas Earl Lovell and my mothers last name is Hodgson. I was born at Stanford Hospital in Santa Clara County, CA.
172. KTanner138 : I had an Ancestry DNA test done. My older sibling supposedly died shortly after birth in Virginia. I have reason to believe s/he was born healthy, then stolen and sold on the black market in any state. A white baby born April 20, 1978 at Petersburg General Hospital in Virginia, but would be listed as born elsewhere. The hospital records were destroyed in a mysterious fire in the early 1980s. The birthday would have been changed, as would any other identifying information. She was born a girl, though my parents "were not allowed" to see the baby after birth. My mother heard her baby crying healthily from the other side of the curtain after her forced scheduled 8am c-section, 8:20 something was the birth time. It is possible it was really a boy. The doctor informed my parents of the "death" 90 minutes later at 10am. He insisted on never seeing the baby due to the grotesqueness of her. She supposedly had complete anencephaly, missing basically her entire head that never formed. A baby cannot cry without a head to cry from, missing vital structures essential for that bodily function, let alone survive 1.5 hours. There was a closed casket memorial service, nothing more. The death certificate listed time of death in the 3am hour of April 20th, 5 hours before s/he was actually born. The time has also been altered in some way on the certificate.There is no telling what other information was changed, and to what extent. False birth information would have been provided to vital statistics, around the same time the false death information was submitted on April 24, 1978. The baby would have been adopted soon after by a family that thought it was an honest, closed adoption from a young, unwed mother. This would result in false information given to the child later on. In a nutshell, I am looking for a white adult born early-mid 1978 that believes the wrong facts about their biological parents, adopted in anywhere USA. I have no clue as to where to start my search. Our family genes are strong. A boy would look like my grandfather, father, brother, and nephew. A girl would like like my grandmother, mother, daughters, and myself. I only hope to find the truth before it’s too late. My entire family, parents and grandparents, have passed away. My younger brother knows no more than I do. There is simply nobody left to collaborate with. Thank you for listening. Whether you feel this could be yourself or not, I wish you luck in your own search.
173. Kedari : I am attempting to find a relative of my wife, this is very important to her. The relative was Cherokee Indian and was adopted at birth. We know nothing more than her name at time of death which is Opal Miller-Neighbors. Any info is very appreciated.
174. DevenJackson : My name is Deven Jackson and I’m seeking my adopted mother named Monica. I was adopted and moved to Alaska soon after I was born and I’ve had no contact since.
176. Sshowers89 : I am searching for my step-mothers birth parents or family. She was born June 8th 1955 in Waterloo Iowa. She was adopted by Wilbur and May Olson. Please contact me if this sounds familiar.
177. WhitneyFamily : Searching for a sister born in Dyersburg, TN to single mother. Mothers maiden name, Whitney. My sibling was born between 1962 and 1965.
178. WheresEilene : We have searched for years, hitting one brick wall after another.
They were twins, we recently connected with one twin thanks to Ancestry .com and want to find the other.
She would be 76 years old.
180. Kleigh88 : My mother gave my younger sister up for adoption and is not willing to give me any information about the adoption I really would like to meet my younger sister.
I was matched with my birth mother just minutes after setting up my profile. It turns out that she had been searching for me for years. It's been a joy to connect with her and the rest of my biological family.
