I talked to my half brother by blood last night. He is a beautiful man. He is a good husband and father. I feel blessed to know him. My other brothers are a bit different but at least I know where my blood comes from. I am Irish, Cherokee, and English. I did not know that for 40 years. It is a gift to know where your blood came from.

I also didn't learn my heritage until I was over 40. I'm half Irish and half Scottish, mainly, smidge of German and Swedish. I'm so happy you are experiencing a good connection with your half brother.

None of my bio half siblings have been terribly interested in me, and my relationship with the woman who birthed me has fallen apart. But, still, I regret nothing about my search.

I may reach out to my bio father sometime after the first of the year. One of his cousins has reached out and been nothing but sweetness and light depsite being a Baptist minister in Kentucky!

I have been having a lot of fun seeing how far back I can take my family tree.

I'm so glad I made this little space and that it sees some action now and again. Peace and love to all of you <3

I did ancestry dna:

Im Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Finnish and 1% african from Bantu peoples...

I was 42 when I found this out.

My ancestry dna ethnic was updated, the other day, probably because more relatives from my birth father's side took ancestry dna.

Still English, More Scottish, less Irish, same Finnish but add Sweden and Denmark, still 1% bantu but add Native American to the list at 20%
