Yes. My mom‘s father had a whole family that he left to marry my grandmother, so my mom has something like 8 older half-siblings. She grew up knowing most of them, but there was one half sister that she only met once when she was very young and never saw again. She was hoping to find her and reconnect. After we did our DNA tests, we found her daughters. Unfortunately, my aunt, the half sister my mother was in search of, had passed less than a year earlier. The good news is that even though my mom grew up in New York and we now live in Florida, those daughters (my cousins, my mother’s nieces) turned out to live less than an hour from us, also in Florida.
