My father and mother were divorced when I was 6 years old and grew up with my Dad and step-mother in Antwerp, Ohio. Around 18 years ago, my mother discovered that the father that raised her, was not her biological father. In mid-December of 2013, one of her half-sisters from her biological father finally tracked her down and made contact. She was surprised to find that she now has a total of 16 brother and sisters.
I have a large public family tree registered on Ancestry.com to attempt to keep track of this very large family.
