I have had quite a year locating my "birth" family and thought that you might like to hear the story.

They are all most all great people with the exception of one brother and he made himself an outcast from the family a long time ago. All of them I have met couldnโ€™t have been more welcoming to me. Everyone who I have met or has seen my photo say that I look exactly like my uncle Karl and they have no doubt that I am a family member.

Two brothers, Steven and John came to San Diego in July to meet me. When we met John looked me over and said. โ€œI am glad that I am now not the shortest male in the family. He was talking about a cousin who lives in Oregon and I said that โ€œhis cousinโ€ sounded a little crazy. He looked at me and said โ€˜She is your cousin too!โ€ At that point I knew that I was with my family.

In September I went to Louisville to meet my sister and brother Allen and their families. I also was able to go to my momโ€™s grave and say hello and goodbye to her. I told her that she did a good thing for me by putting me up for adoption at a time when she would not have been able to raise me. I thanked her for what she did for me.

In November I went to Oregon and met two more cousins who live in Medford. Their father was Karl. They said that I look like their dad.

This month I talked with another cousin, Pam, in Texas and her dad and mother. He is the last surviving sibling of my mother. They all said that I look like Karl and am definitely a family member. Pam has put together a family history book dating back to the early 1820โ€™s. She has now added me to the book. Itโ€™s a print on demand book so I will order a copy of it next year.

I thank for all that you did for me.
