Cousin once removed

Never knew what this meant…

Until today!!!

Read a January message that just appeared

On my message board…

My cousin informed me… through

A DNA research result that my uncle

Isn’t her biological father…

?????????????

This leaves me with many questions…

Did my Uncle know? Did my mother?

Whose name is on her birth certificate?

Secrets… that families from 70 years ago

Never thought would be …

Revealed….are being brought out of

The closets, attics or graves…

So this is what it feels like to be a

Relative once removed!!!

At 73…and not having laid eyes on her

Since we were 13 or 14, I realize

I didn’t really know her …

And doubt if it effects any of us???

But on our family tree she is still a branch…
