[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The person in question does not have to be on Ancestry or 23. After taking the test,  connect yourself to anyone you match with,  3rd cousin,  etc., that and you don't recognize, then work from there using census records, address  books,  FB, family trees that have been posted, etc. She  is there, you just have to research.[/quote]

This doesn't make sense to me. Yes, OP will find all sorts of cousins and can trace backward to find their ancestors in common. But they can't use those cousins to find an untested adoptee. [/quote]

You are right, it doesn’t make sense. That works for helping adoptees find their families. It wouldn’t help a person looking for an adoptee unless that person tested.

OP, the fact that your father encouraged you to do ancestry makes me think he wanted you to find your half-sibling.

And like everyone else says, test with Ancestry. It’s the most popular. We have been both ends of this surprise. My grandfather was adopted and I found his siblings who had no idea he existed. Later, I found a half-sibling of my mom’s that she didn’t not know existed. I think it’s totally natural to get curious. Good luck! [/quote]
