[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks all.  I guess i must be old because I thought maybe people would be pointing me to a Private Investigator. Lol.

If 23 and me is not a  match, then any thoughts about what's next?  I assume this stuff is trackable through birth records and such.[/quote]

You might not get any "matches" right away.   A friend of mine grew up not knowing her father (in her case, she didn't even have a name--her mom claimed to not know who her dad was.)  So in my friend's case, she actually was looking to find her Dad, so she just put her own info/dna into 23andme.   It was several months before 23andme notified her that they had found a cousin that was related to her through her dad.  She connected with that cousin, who was able to put her in touch with her dad.
In her case, it was a very happy ending--they now have a nice relationship and they've had several family get togethers.

But I agree with a pp that not every situation will turn out so happy[/quote]
