Adoption is a subject rarely presented at genealogical conferences. Most adoptees have no idea where or how to begin looking for their birth family. It is very important for an adoptee to learn where they came from and their medical history. Learn about methods to uncover adoptions in your family from a real life case study. For some, genealogy is taking bits and pieces from parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Trying to create a path that leads you back to an earlier place in your family history. Presented by an adoptee searching for her birth family who started with small clues, ran into roadblocks, and circumvented them in her successful search to locate family members. At 57, she went from an only child; to being part of a wonderful birth family she did not know even existed. All this in less than a year! What an amazing genealogy journey!
