It has taken me all of those fifteen years and yes, probably a few more than that, to find my biological father. There have been so many ups and downs, mountains, and valleys, but I kept on. And thanks to DNA I have found him.<br />
<br />
I had known since I was eight years old that the man I called daddy wasn't my real father but my mother was very closed mouth about telling me anything. Every time I asked the question of who was my father, where did my father live, the answer I got was "I don't know."<br />
<br />
I gave up after so many years of that. My mother took her secret to the grave with her.<br />
<br />
In 1996 I got serious about finding out who my ancestors were. A friend suggested that I write to the city and state where my parents got their divorce. I did. I will never forget the day I received the paper work. As I read each sentence from the petitioner, my father, my mouth dropped further. My mind raced back through the years and all the stories I'd heard about my mother swirled. I felt like I was in slow motion and I kept repeating "Oh my goodness." <br />
<br />
I reached for the stool by the kitchen counter and sat down. From the petitioner's request for the divorce I started reading the respondent's, my mother, answer. Another "Oh my goodness."<br />
<br />
My father stated he caught my mother with another man, Bud Wyburn, and from that union my mother had a child. The child's birthday was my birthday. Another "Oh my goodness."<br />
<br />
My mother's answer was "yes" that was true! <br />
<br />
From that point on I began my search. Since my parents, and myself, were all from Minnesota I started writing letters to anyone and everyone with the last name of Wyburn that lived in the vicinity of Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconson. Thank goodness postage was cheaper then!<br />
<br />
From those letters I was put in touch with a lady in Wisconson and she has worked with me all these years to figure out the answer. In 2007 I had my DNA done with Family Tree. I upgraded several time even doing the Family Finder. Now mind you I did find some relatives, but all on my mother's side of the family. That was fun finding out that information. But I wanted more. We are all like that. We want more. I was on a mission and I was going to find the answer. My brother says I'm like a blood hound. Yep!<br />
<br />
Then when Ancestry started doing DNA I jumped right in. When I first started with them they told you that you had a certain percentage of British Isles, European, and so on. Now they have broken it down to a much better understanding. When I found out I was 1% Native American I got goose bumps. Wyburn's great grandmother was full blooded Sac Indian. She survived the Black Hawk War in 1832. <br />
<br />
Soooooo I asked my friend, which by this time I found out she was a fourth cousin to Wyburn if she would take the test for me. We were no match. Back to the drawing board. This was one of my very deep valleys.<br />
<br />
Up to this point I was looking for something, someone who matched Alfred Wyburn and me. Then this last week it happened. Even though my friend, who is now my fourth/fifth cousin, still does not match me through Ancestry but we have eleven, yes eleven, same matches. I have a third cousin that is a fifth cousin to my cousin! We have a match.........we are cousins. Alfred Wyburn is my biological father!!!<br />
<br />
Of course if a closer match, say a first cousin, would take the test it would prove with out a shadow of a doubt that I am right. But, I am comfortable with my decision until I am proven wrong. <br />
<br />
You may ask yourself how can I feel so confident about this. There are several other factors that play into this equation that I've not mentioned, but between all of it I am confident.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned....<br />
<br />
Until then........................<br />

I wanted to get out and walk through each stone but my husband was on a mission. We were going to visit relatives and he didn't want to be late. Dinner was waiting. <br />
<br />
I mentioned the cemetery to my sister in law and she said she knew the lady that had a copy of the names, perhaps she could get them for me. My eyes lite up! Would I? That was the next best thing other than walking through and reading each name. <br />
<br />
Within the next week the names arrived in the mail and I had permission to write them on my blog for all to see....if they perhaps were related......knew anyone of the names......or ........<br />

I've lost my web site. My wonderful web page that told everyone all about me, my passion of writing, and looking for my dead ancestors, gone---vanished---into thin air.<br />
<br />
I wanted to look at it and see what I needed to do to update the site. Give it a shot in the arm so to speak. It was long over due and I might add I hadn't looked at it in a very long time. The page was out there so I thought leave it alone, people will see it, so on and so forth. Wrong. <br />
<br />
It's gone!!!<br />
<br />
So to all of you that have been reading my blog I apologize that my web page is no longer available. If I have sent you to it I am so terribly sorry, red faced, and embarrassed. <br />
<br />
To all of you that have a web site/page look at it often to make sure it is up and running!<br />
<br />
You know what my next project is--right after the book is gone to publisher---get the page updated!!!<br />
<br />
Until then................<br />
<br />
Book is finished......it's being revised..........life is happening........will keep you posted.<br />
<br />
Again until then......................<br />

Our vacation was wonderful. Hiked (by cog train) to the top of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. Beautiful scenery, fall foliage was breath taking. <br />
<br />
Walked a few cemeteries to find dead relatives (hubby's side). Sat in a couple of libraries looking through stacks of papers and books. We did find one of his great, great, grandfather's tax records. It gave me a better idea when he passed away, although we still didn't find where he was buried. But that's another trip.<br />
<br />
I ate my share of lobster, steamers, and fish. Oh yes, pizza. New England pizza is so good!<br />
<br />
Now it's back to work time. Finish editing the book and get it to the publisher. Did I mention I think I caught a cold. Been blowing the nose constantly. Still had a good time.<br />
<br />
Until then......................................................Sandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14991733144303799331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895987601875369258.post-56494479224192945312013-10-08T13:59:00.000-07:002013-10-08T13:59:09.479-07:00WE ARE ALL RELATED--BELIEVE IT OR NOT!I have come to the conclusion that we are all related right on back to Adam and Eve. Oh wait, we are! It's written in the Word.<br />
<br />
Seriously though, it's mind boggling figuring out how you are related to another person through DNA. I keep thinking Ancestry just messed up and put my link to someone along with my friend (cousin) DNA. I call her my cousin because I am convinced even more so that we are related.<br />
<br />
We've been friends now for almost twelve years and I finally talked her into having her DNA done. I am the manager of both of our accounts. Long story.......anyway this past month we have two people that have shown up on both of our matches. <br />
<br />
Let me explain. If you have been following my blog you know I'm searching for my biological father and through writing letters (yes, way back a few years ago you wrote letters to find answers) I found a person who was researching her lineage. We teamed up together and found out it really does look like we have the right person. My biological father and her cousin, the same person.<br />
<br />
Now you say "well that should easily be solved by doing both of our DNA". Wrong. There is no match between us that shows. But we have same names that shows up on both of our lists. Mind boggling!!!<br />
<br />
There are too many consequences pointing us both in the same direction. I'd like to say for certain I have found the right person but there is still that nagging thought of maybe I'm wrong. I've done so much research on this person I really feel like I know him quite well. <br />
<br />
I'm sure someday someone close to him will have their DNA done and BINGO! A match! So until that day, guess I'll continue searching, just to make sure I'm not jumping the gun. Really wouldn't want that to happen. <br />
<br />
Until then....................more research..................more......more...............etc<br />
<br />

I saved it to a draft because I got interrupted and now blog won't let me go back to it to finish! I am soooo upset with BlogSpot. Don't be surprised if I leave a message that I've moved.<br />
<br />
ANYWAY.....why I'm so close but yet so far.<br />
<br />
DNA of course. I've been waiting for someone very close to me (at least I think she is) to have her DNA done so I can move on. But that hasn't happened. I can understand her feelings of not really wanting to find out, but you can understand mine for wanting to find out.........if we have the same father. <br />
<br />
But then again I have a third cousin that is a match and so far the names listed do not belong to anyone on my mother's side of the family. Now you would think yea....it's got to be my father. AND I have found a name that is a match to his great grandmother's name. EBERLE......and I'm trying to figure out where that plays into the grand scheme of things.<br />
<br />
When I saw the name, EBERLE, my heart started racing. I became giddy, excited, overjoyed, nervous,and any of the other words that describes zealous. But it is a slow process to figure out where each piece of the puzzle fits. Patience is the key word. Oh, Lord, help me. As you know I lack patience!<br />
<br />
I'm off today for a few days genealogy hunting in the great New England states so I will be away from my blog until probably Oct 10th. Even then, I hope I can get on BlogSpot to blog. Will keep you posted on that situation.<br />
<br />
Until then..........<br />

You ask why? Well, because, I'm working on the DNA and one day I'm up because I think I've found the link. Then the next day I'm down because it wasn't the link I needed. Then I get all revved up to write and, not sure here how to explain, but I'm afraid to write something, afraid that it isn't it, and afraid that when I do find out the results of the DNA tests it will not be what I expected. <br />
<br />
Oh my goodness, did I explain that well enough? Probably not.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I found a folder I had tucked away because I moved on to something else. In it were letters that had been written back in 1998 and 1999. When I first found out my father wasn't my father I wrote letters upon letters to everyone with the last name of Wyburn. Hoping someone would answer and give me a lead. Well I did get a couple letters returned but I was filled with more questions than answers. <br />
<br />
I found a friend of my mother's, who was very close in the late 30's and early 40's. She even gave me her phone number, and was very helpful in a sense, but still no clue to who Wyburn was. What she told me was that he wore a leather jacket and rode a motorcycle, and he liked to dance. So did my mother. And through the years I do remember my mother liked to dance. Maybe that is where I got it from!<br />
<br />
I was able to find relatives of Wyburn (two cousins) who have helped me with providing pictures. Since then I've looked at the pictures a thousand times but I'm not sure what I'm looking for.<br />
<br />
Open one door......four years ago. While in South Carolina for my grandson's graduation from Ft. Jackson my daughter and I were talking about Chris. She said she just didn't know who he looked like. In a lot of ways he did look like his father but Chris had such big ears and a large nose that she didn't know who that came from. I joked about it and forgot about it.<br />
<br />
Then about a year ago Chris posted a picture of himself on facebook and it hit me in the face. Wow I've seen that person before. I pulled Wyburn's picture out and sure enough, the same nose and ears. <br />

<br />
I studied these two pictures until I was cross eyed. My conclusion.....I'm too close to the story and I see what I want to see. But then I looked at another picture and say my other grandson's eyes in Wyburn's picture.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is the only picture I could find of the grandson and it is probably hard to see the eyes. But I saw it.<br />
<br />
Again, I am too close to the subject of finding my biological father that I think I'm seeing things I want to see. So it's back to the drawing board until I find a close (real close) match to my DNA.<br />
<br />
Until then.........................................<br />

And I am one of those. I am a genealogist!<br />
<br />
My husband and I took a mini vacation this last week. First off it was to get him away from the busy phones, getting up very early to beat the traffic to get to work, and all the hustle and bustle that goes along with a job. The phones went with us but they stayed pretty quiet.<br />
<br />
Anyone that lives in Texas, or has driven through Texas, knows how long it takes to get anywhere. We live in south central Texas and decided to travel to north Texas. A seven hour drive at the most to get to our destination, plus we like taking the scenic route. The scenic route takes you to every poke and plum town along the way. You pass buildings that have outlived their usefulness and are usually boarded up. Usually there is one gas station along with a fast food restaurant where you can stretch your legs, use the facilities, and get a drink. So you can stop at the next small town and relieve yourself and get another drink.<br />
<br />
What I like about driving through the small towns is you see cemeteries. Yes, cemeteries. My family thinks I am weird. If you were going to blame someone because you like cemeteries, then I guess you could blame my mother. When I was about six years old we lived very close to a cemetery. She would put my baby brother and sister in their buggy, and then my other brother and myself walked through the small winding trails through the cemetery. I being the oldest, helped push the buggy and held my brother's hand to keep him from wandering. I guess that was our outing for the day since we lived out in the country and there wasn't any parks to go to.<br />
<br />
Now back to the cemeteries, which I've always liked walking through. I often wondered about the person lying beneath the headstone. Who was that person? What was their life like. Did they have plans for their lives and were they able to fulfill those plans" What were their desires, thoughts, and what kind of a job did they have? Oh so many questions. But how different were they from me?<br />
<br />
Scary movies would have you believe monsters lurk behind every headstone just waiting to jump out and grab you. Yea, I've watched a few in my time. Ghost hunters have sat in cemeteries on dark nights to see if there are spirits floating from one grave to another. <br />
<br />
But here is what I can tell you.................<br />
<br />
Usually there is only a name with dates on the headstone. It doesn't tell you much, just that they were born and they died. Headstones in very old cemeteries sometimes will give you a glimpse of something about the person. They might say "He was a very generous man", "Good to others", or even "He never met a stranger". <br />

<br />
I can spot a cemetery a mile away which my husband finds amusing. As we drive along I will point them out to him. Like he is really interested! <br />

<br />
Now then I can honestly tell you after thirty years I have him walking cemeteries. Well, almost. I'm putting his family tree together so I have him taking notes and pictures of his relatives headstones. What's interesting not every relative had the money to buy a nice stone. They used large stones and carved the person's name on it and that was it. We both have relatives that fit that description.<br />
<br />
At the end of Sep we will be traveling to New England to do some research on my husband's family. I've tried to lay it all out, what city, cemetery, etc. to go to. AND to take better notes this time. I forgot to write the name of the cemetery last time, but I have the picture. Oh yes, I will be eating my share of lobster!<br />
<br />
So until then.....................................<br />

I've been through St. Louis but never had the opportunity to stop. I commend my daughter to taking her children on these one day trips to see parts of America they would probably never get to see. Although I've been around the world there are still places right here at home I have not seen. <br />
<br />
My daughter has taken the children to Chicago, Orlando, Spokane, and now St. Louis to see things she has heard about and wanted her children to see first hand. She's gathered information from colleagues she works with, and has had everything laid out, places to visit, eat, and shop. Can't leave out the shopping!<br />
<br />
Our adventure started at 3:30 a.m. when I picked up my daughter and three children. Our flight left at six a.m. and we landed at the St. Louis airport at eight a.m. It's a good thing her co- workers gave her instructions. Go to the metro (right outside the airport) take the it to Forest Park for the zoo.<br />
<br />
I was very impressed. Forest Park is 1.5 acres which includes the zoo, an art museum, the Missouri History Museum, a golf course, and acres of park to run, picnic, and play. Forest Park is one of the largest urban parks in the United States. Approximately 500 acres larger then Central Park in New York City. <br />
<br />
The zoo was very clean, had sea lions, harbor seals, elephants, swans, flamingos, stingrays (which my grandson was able to pet as they swam by in circles in their pool, and a beautiful display of butterflies. Of course this is only a small portion of what the zoo houses. To say the least we were all very tired after walking for five hours oooing and aahhhhing. Then it was off to the history <br />
museum.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Bixby's café and express is housed in the museum on the second floor. It was definitely time for some nourishment. We stopped on the second floor at the express and grabbed a sandwich, where the youngest promptly closed her eyes and fell asleep. My daughter proceeded to the first floor and sat in one of the comfy chairs and held her while I took the other two to explore the sights.<br />
<br />
On the first floor was an exhibit of the 1904 World's Fair which was held in St. Louis. From horse drawn carriages to tickets the grandchildren were able to touch and see what life was life in the early 1900's. In the lobby a replica of the "Spirit of St. Louis" was suspended. On the second floor one room was St. Louis' history from its founding in 1764. <br />
<br />
The little one had a short nap, tummies were full, exhibits were behind us, and it was time to board the metro to check out the St. Louis Arch! The metro stopped right across the street from the arch and we started our short trek across the park. Now mind you I don't like heights, and I do not like tight spaces. Neither does my daughter. I had already purchased our tickets to go to the top but when we saw what we had to ride in to get there, we both were ready to cry! The pod (as it was called) held five seats. Very tightly! No windows except the sliding door to let you in or out. From that you could see the stairs on your way up and your way down. I sang all the way to the top and coming back down. I cannot carry a tune but it took my mind off the cramped space! <br />
<br />
It was worth the tiny pod ride to see the view from the top. Would I go again? YES, I would.<br />
<br />

<br />
Did I say the arch was 630 feet high???<br />
<br />
From there it was dinner time and get ready to go back to catch our flight back to San Antonio. Our meal consisted of a slab of bar-b-que (St. Louis style) ribs, slaw, and beans. I might add my grandson let me have two ribs, he ate it all. Yes, he's a growing boy. One granddaughter fell asleep at the table. My daughter had the bar-b-que sampler platter, which we all had a taste of too. Great food!<br />
<br />
I would go back. Eat at Sweetie Pie's next time, just to say we'd been there. Visit more museums. Oh yes, did I say the zoo, art museum, and the history museum was FREE! <br />
<br />
I'm tired......dreaming of next trip. Mapping it out!<br />
<br />
Until then...............................................<br />
