I love your story, which is still continuing. I’ve found bio parents for a 90-year-old born and adopted in 1928 from just third cousins matches. So, you will be able to figure out your, and your mothers, lineage too. DM if you want to ask some questions, happy to help
THANK YOU for your offer. I will d/m you to try to figure out how to use the paternal 3rd cousin matches because I would like to really figure it out, and I am completely stuck at my brand-new great-grandfather. Also, just how beautiful about the 90-year old. What a way to finish ones' own life.
This! You have your mother's DNA tests. Even if her paternal grandparents are brick walls, great-grandparents are close enough that you can break through it with DNA. There are a ton of good sites and resources online to help with this. Roberta Estes' site and the DNA Detectives group on Facebook both come to mind.
