Welcome to my genealogy journey! It started with a quest to solve a family mystery. In 2008, my dad’s curiosity about his biological father sparked my passion for genealogy. I never imagined it would become my life’s purpose.
As my dad battled Alzheimer’s, I dove into researching his ancestry. I searched online archives and obtained vital documents to piece together our family’s story.
A DNA test, gifted by my son, was a turning point. Despite challenges, I discovered the truth: my dad’s biological father was William Thomas Fox, a sailor lost at sea during World War II.
Through research and conversations with distant relatives, I learned more about our family’s history. Each revelation brought us closer to solving the mystery.
After years of effort, I finally revealed the truth to my dad with the help of his half-first cousin, preserving his biological father’s memory.
Today, my passion for genealogy continues. I’m dedicated to helping others uncover their family mysteries. Whether you’re searching for lost relatives or preserving your family’s heritage, let me guide you on your journey.
