My grandmother was adopted in 1889. Recently I had my 96 year old mother take the ancestry DNA test. It came back with numerous 2nd and 3rd cousin matches. Since my mother's first cousin on her dad's side had also taken the test, we were able to separate her paternal matches from her maternal matches. When that sorting was done, she was left with numerous 2nd and 3rd cousin matches on her mother's side. Long story short, it only took a couple weeks to track down my grandmother's biological parents. The power of spit is amazing.
you prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me atm then you can stream pretty much all the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my brother these days =)
In October of 2016, we discovered that one of our ancestors had remarried after his first wife died, she being our common ancestor. He had 4 more children with this 2nd wife, all sons, one of whom died in infancy. I was able to add them to our tree, and then using obituaries and Facebook, found their descendants. Then we paid for them to DNA test and confirmed their relationships to us. Genetic genealogy has been a huge boon!
My great-grandfather was adopted. We know who his birth-mother was, but not his birth-father. I just sent my DNA to 23andMe, so I'm hoping to find some 3rd & 4th cousins to help solve the mystery of who my 2nd great-grandfather was. Through census records, I did find a possible candidate, and have figured out his descendants, so hopefully one of them have taken a test.
The little pieces coming together helps to get to a place where one can finally maybe normalize their roots in their lives. The searcher and the found both usually need to do this. Been following people’s stories 30 years in closed adoptions and it’s a wild ride.
Her story about the birthfather in denial could have been mine exactly. Once I sent DNA to Ancestry and I match the entire family. No more questions. No more doubt. haha! Yea!
i grew up finding different things being lost or misplaced and started reading books on investigation and more along these lines of interest and go from there
I am not getting the time I want to work on family tree stuff but I have gone back a long way in one section. The oldest birth date I have is 602 but there are still more people I need to add. I have over 50 generations in that one section. That is the good stuff. The tough ones are a female that we can’t seam to find he parents and the the tougher one is who is my Dad’s dad really and did his dad marry again and have an other son. Beyond that my sons have a 1/2 brother and we are pretty sure a 1/2 sister too that are family secrets. Those are all on my table and have made me consider asking my dad to test and to have one of my sons test as well. What fun!
I was illegally adopted so I don't know for sure who my father was. My birth certificate lists an Italian Immigrant born 1899, but family lore says my father was Scottish living in NYC during WWII. My mother was New England Puritan English father and Swedish mother. I did my dna through Familysearch, and it shows I'm 76% British Isles, 19% Scandinavian, 3%Southern Adriatic Coast-Greece and 2% . Proves that the Italian man on my BC can't possible be my father. Now I need to find my paternal family
My grandfather was born in Cheshire, England and came to live in Guatemala in 1900. He had 2 brothers but he never new about them the rest of his life. Could they be found with DNA from me?

I so love CeCe Moore, what you give people is priceless.
Thank You for all you do.
I just love Cece Moore! She is so very intelligent and her research and triangulation techniques are impeccable!!

Awesome video. Cece Moore is a seriously amazing researcher!

Wow this was an excellent video with great information and advice.

CeCe Moore, you are brilliant!
Omg, I would love to work in this industry.

Ce Ce moore is amazing

It’s not re-establishing their identity - often its building their identity for the very first time.

I hope you are succeeding.

That's what I'm talking about ❤
Very interesting.
I want to get involved
What a nightmare this could create for inheritance issues.
You are a bero. To so many
Interesting my grandfather had gray eyes that would turn blue I know his eyes were so piercing
On my mother’s side I got back to 1603
I don't know if I can watch this. It looks so dated and sounds so rehearsed.
Nice info.
But CeCe ive more than 10 kids all over the world. Im I1 haplo
That explains not a 100% matches.❤❤❤❤❤❤ Wow though it doesn't really matter if it is or not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I saw her kick a little old lady down the steps.
