Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: DNA to find half sibling
« on: Saturday 21 October 23 12:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi Ambly

Thanks for your post.

I am in the UK but my half sister could have gone anywhere

She and I share the same father and its her or her descendants that I'm looking for.

Her mother had another 3 children with someone else. They are not related to me but are half sisters to my half sister.

No one on her paternal/maternal or the father of her half sisters had anything to do with her up bringing.
I have searched everything I can think of. She has not married or died with her birth name and as I believe her name was changed and she would have no knowledge of me, its very difficult.
My only hope is DNA but as her descendants would only share a little DNA with me and the matches I have are distant, I don't know where to start

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / DNA to find half sibling
« on: Monday 16 October 23 13:37 BST (UK)  »
I have been trying for 50 years to find my half sister born in 1938 to my father and his first wife. All I have is her birth certificate. There is no trace of her other than it is thought as a toddler she went to live with another family. She was not with anyone of her birth family. Her mother had 3 more children with another man. One dying at birth, one officially adopted and another with no trace. I have their birth certificates only

I appreciate she may be dead but would like to see if she had family. I have DNA on Ancestry, My Heritage and Living DNA. My parents DNA is split so I have been able to home in on my father’s side but apart from a few 2nd cousin matches   they are all very distant.

I’m really not sure what I should be looking for to try and find any of her descendants and would be so grateful for any pointers.
