Hello Alison

Have you taken a DNA test?

Your mother will have past on half of her DNA to you so that you might well have matches out there that might link you to you biological grandmother's kin.

I managed to find my great grandfather by linking to his relatives via shared DNA.

Thanks for that link, Debra. It seems that Allison had been given an amazing amount of info two years ago - including getting a DNA test.
