It has been quite awhile. I wanted to share with you this wonderful story. My daughter had done a DNA test and had been asking me to take one as well, she had been asking me for a while. I just didn't feel the need to spend that kind of money on it. So she decided she was going to get together with my son to get me one, well things happened on both ends and it was forgotten about by me, then I got an email from ancestry about a discount and I thought of what the heck, I could have never imagined it would end up like it did.
That was around early December. I was checking for my results and I tried to contact some the matches and there were some that contacted me. That was around January 19th on January 21 a person popped up her name was Teresa and she was directly under my daughter at that time I really didn't know much about how all of it worked, but it said 1st cousin and so I contacted her through Ancestry and she immediately contacted me back and gave me her number and wanted to meet, I was so excited by this so we agreed and we met at my work I figured that would make her feel safe, she asked if she could bring her mom with her and I said yes of course. I knew that my boss wouldn't have a problem with it.
We sat down in the break room and I was explaining to her what the other people were telling me and she began to laugh and I kept talking but she continued to laugh and I really didn't think much about it, she stopped me and said Oh My Gosh I'm sorry I don't mean to laugh but you remind me of my Aunt Ruby you have the same jesters the same mannerisms it's freaking me out. I asked her mom Kathy if they had known of a sister being given up and she said yes we knew of a brother and a sister. She said I have to call my Auntie and she has to meet you. In the meantime I had contacted one of the ladies I was taking to on Ancestry and she showed me how the numbers on Teresa's DNA were very high, and showing according to the centimorgan chart that she was a possible 1/2 niece and not a first cousin. I contacted Teresa and she said it make sense and she believed I was her Aunt and her mom was my sister. We agreed to meet again on Thursday and she would bring her Aunt Ruby, I
was so excited I could hardly wait until Thursday. So Just from an hour of talking it was decided that yes I was the sister.
