243. Amandajeanball : I am trying to find family members. I have heard several stories about my Fathers first marriage. I was told she passed away.
My Dad has told me I have a sister Stefanie , I am not sure of her location but one of the last members of my Dads family said she possibly is deceased also . ( possibly lived in GA at one time)
My Father was known to frequent the Northern VA area ( Manassas, Front Royal , Alexandria , etc )
My Dad was a fairly secretive person so he failed to give me the information I need before he passed away in 1997.
I have been unable to find the marriage information for his first marriage. I do have a photo of him and the lady that has " Chad and Dee " wedding February 12 1972 . The lady could be my identical twin.
Another point worth mentioning is my Dads name was Carmel but he was said to have went by a few different names . Possibly Chad , Charles or Chas .
His DD 214 states he served in the USAF 1968 until 1974 .
I have red hair green / hazel eyes
244. Vickieg : Birth mother Loretta Diane Clifton
Maiden name Dunlap DOB 9/8/1918
Birth Father John Ellis Clifton
Birth Name Jerry Allen Clifton
Birth Hospital Kent General in Dover DE
Adoption agency was in Wilmington DE
245. Missyousweetie : Your name I gave you was Holly Lynn Brawn. That was your name before you were adopted. I gave you up for adoption in Concord, NC in 2016. You were born October 2, 2015 at CMC Northeast in NC.
246. JasmineAyers : I don’t know much about my brother. Except that as far as I know he was adopted before I was born. We shared the same father, brad Ayers, but had different mothers. He was around 2 or 3 when I was born so I would say he probably was born in 1997 or 1996.
247. Albertfortes : I am searching for my sister, Toni Lee. She was born April 7, 1970 in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Her adoption may have taken place in Delaware.
248. ComlyWhite2019 : My father was taken away and adopted back in 1942. For many years he knew very little about his biological family. He knew his father’s last name was White and he was taken away from his mother, because his biological father was never home or supporting him and his siblings.
In the late 90’s his biological niece found him and showed us some of the family including her father which was adopted as well. As well as his mother Nellie E. Poush White, his half siblings, Beverly, Bill, and Jerry and his biological father Denver Thomas White.
When I had the opportunity to talk to Denver, I asked him how many aunts and uncles I have. His answer was he was a truck driver that drove from coast o coast and he had a warm bed and cuddle buddy at every stop.
So I am looking for my biological family that are the children or grandchildren of Denver Thomas White.
If that names sounds like someone you know please, please contact me!
249. Jaham : I am in search of my half sister who was born Jan 10,1966 she is half indian (INDIA) my mother named her Laura Lea/ Lee Justice. Not sure of the spelling of middle name. She weighed 6lbs she given up for adoption on 01/11/1966 To the Wilmington Catholic Charities in Wilmington Delaware. She was born in Kent General Hospital. Her adoptive parents are or was catholic. Thank you
250. Cziraki408 : I’m looking for my twin cousins. Born Ashley and Kimberly sampson to parents Elizabeth and gene sampson. Unsure of the birth year‚ sometime between 1991-1992 in Dover Delaware.
251. Jmmsdustin : I am searching for my first cousin. She is the daughter of my aunt. She would have been born in the Indiana/Illinois/Ohio or Tennessee area in April/May 1959. My aunt was 18 when she gave her up at birth. She may have stayed with a family tied to the Methodist Church. Her family would really like to connect with this child. My aunts name is Pegge Lakins and the father’s name is David Culp. Please contact me if you can help provide clues or have any information that may help. I have included a picture of her mom/my aunt.
253. Nigel1979 : Looking for brother whose name at birth was Shaun or Shawn. Born to father Mario Johnson while he was in the Army married to your mother name of Thelma
255. Dsyeaton : We looked for decades for a missing cousin. We found his sibling several years ago via cousinconnect and him this year (2019) via DNA, about two weeks before their birth mother our aunt died.
She was born in 1960 and adopted in FL. He was born in 1958, adopted in CA, and lives in UT.
At our aunt’s funeral, neighbors told us that in her last months, she told them she had children. Three or four children. Neighbors have told us that the aunt (born 1936) became pregnant in high school (1950-1955 if this is true) or at age 17 (1953-1954 if this is true) and was sent to FL to have the baby.
We do not know much: mother’s maiden name, if listed: Anderson, birth state of mother: MA, she was very tall and thin, loved animals and dogs, Danish, German, English ethnicity. We have done DNA on ancestrydna and 23andme.
If this is you....or you think it could be you because part of the story matches...please do DNA testing so that we can see if we match!
And we are unsure why there were said to be: three or four children. Could it have been twins, which run in our family? Or is there another child with a different birth year and possible different birth and adoption state? These birth years are only guesses...it conceivably could have been any time after her birth in 1936 as maybe a teen (1949 or before?) to menopause (maybe before 1986?) but most likely in the 1950s or 1960s. Do any of these guesses for you or someone you know? We are a dozen cousins looking for decades!
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.
