Subject: [ROOTS-L] When I started researching
Sender: roots-in@roots-l.rootsweb.com

After my Mom died in March, 2002 we found out for sure that she had been
given up for adoption as an infant to my grandparents. We never knew any of
her birth family, never knew they existed until we found her birth
certificate with her birth father's name on it. 
That is when I began looking for any and all info pertaining to her birth
family. I put messages on all the boards and received more than one from
long lost cousins, and the rest is history. We have exchanged pictures and
have even travelled to get together in person, it has been exciting. 
I have also done work on all sides of my Dad's family names as well with
much success.
So thanks to the Internet and people willing to share their info, I have a
whole other side of my family to enjoy and much more to look into. 
My surnames are Murphy, Huff, Sutton, Moore, Dinser, Service, Laage,
Niehaus. 
Happy searching!!
