I won't pay for something I can get for free from familysearch.org and local libraries.

your local library does DNA testing? DNA testing uncovers relatives you did not even know you had- family given away for adoption, affairs etc-
There is this new commercial about Thanksgiving dinner being more crowded now because they've discovered all these new relatives through one of these ancestry tracking things. I don't see the people I am related to that much; my parents are gone for years, and my siblings all have their children and grandchildren.
Is this something that has a great appeal?
But DNA testing will only link you to missing relatives if they had DNA testing done through Ancestry as well.
Another friend has said he's interested in doing the same thing, but doesn't want to hurt his adopted mother. So, he's planning to wait until after his mom died.
Another was to establish paternity for hubby. His mother will not tell him who his father is. We knew he was clearly European but didn't know what exactly. Ancestry provided us with 2 1/2 sibling matches. I've not contacted them but have now been able to confirm who his father is (deceased unfortunately) and what nationality he is.
Hubby's maternal grandmother was also adopted and I'm slowly narrowing down the possibilities.
It's been well worth it so far and a whole lot of fun.
Great episode. And as a person who used to watch As The World Turns I was shocked to learn about Hoffman's father. I had no clue.
I wish that they would only cover two people, not three on each episode. I enjoyed the more in depth look this week. And Leoni's story shows clearly how different family members can think about opening a door, so to speak.
Ancestry sponsors a program on TLC called Long Lost Family which uses the DNA test to locate parent or child involved in the adoption process- it’s a bit of a sobfest but for some reason it is a guilty pleasure of mine.
You have me curious - I'll have to watch - I grew up watching As the World Turns lol
