483. Brandib0789 : I am looking for my half-brother. I have posted before but I have had no luck. I’ve been searching for him ever since and I can’t find any record of him anywhere. He was born in Yankton‚ South Dakota on May 26‚ 1978. He was adopted through Social Services. He spent some time in Sioux Falls at one of the hospitals due to being born with water on the brain. It is entirely possible he is dead but I have this feeling he is not. I would very much like to find him and meet him. My mother is still alive and I have an older half-sister. She told me once that she named him Dennis Michael List but it’s probable that his name changed. If he has opened his record his parents’ last names are Eide and List. If you know him‚ or if you are him‚ I would love to talk to you.
485. Mb1969 : I am looking for a daughter that I was not aware of and born in later part of 1990. I have a dna match from genomelink that is almost certainly my child and has the name "diana" listed on the dna match. I am trying to get my sample uploaded here but not yet successful. I was in the navy at the time and was not aware of a pregnancy. I have been able to see the last name of another distant match through my daughter and the surname matches that of the girl ibhad been seeing at the time. I have no contact with her and dont know where else to start as no other matches are present if Diana is out there please know I would love to connect and that I didn’t know you existed. If I am correct‚ your mother was also in the navy at that time as well.

Please respond if you believe that Robert Vincent McInroy could be your father or a member of your family tree.
