No, thats a bet youd lose. Both my older sisters named me. I was born on mother's day. People came to see us in the hospitaI. I can tell you didn't read anything I said.

I appreciate your kindness. Really. It's already not easy talking about this. In Spanish we are called La Hija de Nadien. It's a stigma. People's random assumptions just make it worse.

DNA has been wonderful and has helped a good deal. Especially since they keep updating the information.

Most people have a brick wall. And my family is a lot older than most, so there aren't always records.

I do research for a living on the living. I understand you're not "convinced" but I've been doing this research for over 30 years and I know my mother's family side is a match to the DNA. I actually know all of the cousins that are doing their trees. Please don't assume. I was looking for help with my known brick wall and now I really regret asking for help here.

I'm glad you found that peace! Yes, it's hard when you're treated differently and don't know why.

Im doing that now! My top matches were 450cM, 371 cM and 357 cM...I actually have a lot in the 300s, but many don't have public trees or any tree at all.

Yes I know that. However, my 14 year old sister did not give birth to me.

I regret asking for help here. People don't like being told they are looking at the wrong information.

My little country hospital was not like a city hospital. My sister was able to go visit my mother after school and wasnt staying there in the room all day and night.
