My mother was adopted as a newborn and never had any desire to learn her DNA history. She had been told basics and after I did the DNA search, her info was correct. She passed away 12 yrs ago. On Ancestry, I see a couple of people who appear to be related to me through her and I just stare at them in the data trying to decide whether to reach out or not. In the meantime, I have traced my adopted maternal grandmother’s family back to the early 1700’s in Alta California. My mom knew this and had done all this investigation by hand herself 20 yrs ago. So she was right there too. I don’t know if I should go into the people to gave up my mom or not. Maybe not? I’m curious but is it even fair to inquire. Thoughts?
