Member Since: October 2005 Posts: 4 Send Message	I did not know that I had been adopted until I was 17 years and it threw my whole life into turmoil as I had a great family and was much loved by them, and I loved them deeply too. But one always wants to know about our roots in this situation. I have always been interested in my adopted family's history, even writing a small booklet for Dad as he approached his 100th birthday, which unfortunately he did not reach. I had found out quite a bit about my natural family, but when I put up on GR my natural grandfather I found 3 matches. One match was back in England and has given me the family back to a birth in 1790. The contacts here in Australia have filled in lots of information of siblings of my grandfather, and their decendents and the ships they migrated on. I now have two family files on my computer, but I will keep my adopted family as my tree on GR. Thank you Genes Reunited for this wonderful service "Cassie"
