Don't give up too soon 😉

The younger generation are now testing
So you may get more matches to the birth father or his brothers .

If a grandchild of the father tests the match will be closer to a grandson of uncle or aunt .

If you get other family members to test you may get more matches too .men get higher results I think .

Someone in the family might know about this baby too

A record or news article may turn up in an unexpected place which proves locations of parties concerned

It is a slow process but definitely worth investigating all family members in detail

I've been researching  since 2013 + today I came across a record of great uncles wedding banns ftom 1920

.I decided to add it to the tree and discovered one of the witnesses was my grandmother

Using her adoptive surname ...it's lovely to have that signature but it also proves that she was close to my grandads family 4 years before they actually married

There are always surprises

Thank you for the advice and fingers crossed new DNA matches are forthcoming.

[lazylane]

Is this the info you required?

[brigidmac]

That's a nice high match

How high are your mutual matches ?
With that person and do you know how many generations apart you are likely to be or is it same generation ?

[lazylane]

This person is of the same generation.She found out Through DNA that her father was Abraham Schulman but hadn't known before this,that is why our assumption was it was possibly one of his brothers.Unfortunately there is very little more to go on I believe her daughter is trying to explore but hasn't communicated any more information to me.I believe now there is supposed to be a family tree of sorts on My heritage.

 So am I right in thinking you are looking for aa American who was Jewish who could have met your grandmother' somewhere

It could of been any of the brothers age
18-45
If it was one of their sons I think  the DNA match would be less .

For comparison

My only match around 800cm
Is a full cousin
My mother's cousin matches her by just over 1000cm.and matches me or once removed at 570cm.

There is a DNA painter  chart which shows range of variations .

Can I make a suggestion..
.ask the moderator to chance the title and include the Schuman name .and maybe potential year

 longer title stands out and is more likely to be read by people interested in SHULMAN. Name

That is exactly what I was asking -  see reply #5

As a comparison, my  great/grand niece and nephew match with me with similar shared DNA  - on Ancestry, 1100 cM over 39 segs and  836 over 31 segments. Their mother  (my niece ) shares 1846 over 54 segments****. A 1st cousin shares 603 cM over 23 segments.   

**** 1981 cM over 46 segments on My Heritage

So you're looking at a very close relationship. The  Painter  chart will show you the possible relationships:

I've put the shared DNA in the box at top and this shows the possible relationships - the grey area shows the most likely relationships.
