HI,
First time on this site and lots of informative info.
My father has been trying to find out the identity of his great grandfather forever. His grandfather never had a birth certificate, but raised as a DAVIS. His military records show next of kin as Davis but those who raised him would've been in 50s when they had him. He always said he never knew his real parents. Also in the death notices of his "mother" and "siblings" there's no mention of him. In his "father" there is mention of him.
I have done my dna, as has my father. I was thinking maybe he was raised by his grandparents and one of his siblings was actually a parent but there's no davis matches.I've eliminated all my mums side, and my dads maternal side and have found a few dna matches that have to be connected to dads great grandfather. The closest is 3rd cousin-192cM shared. I've written many times and no reply
The next connection is 4th cousin 67cM shared. I wrote to him and he replied but we can't figure out the connection. Any ideas how i could figure this mystery out?? my grandfather spend much of his adult life trying to find out his grandparents but no luck, but i'm hoping with modern technology i can find out. Thankyou
