Long lost family.

[Jimmy]

For those interested Mon 25 Feb, ITV 9pm, Long lost family special "Born without trace" could be interesting.

Should be good viewing thanks ,its marvellous what money can do in finding rels

[BC Wench]

I found this programme interesting, but, it was very convenient for the researchers to find DNA of their relations.

Brilliant outcome for the people who were abandoned though.

BC at 12,5 % and 25% DNA think we could find the match

[BC Wench]

what does BC mean? But DNA still has to be found, where do they find it from?

So, if I had abandoned a baby, how would they know I was the Mother, because I've never given a DNA sample and I'm pretty sure that none of my brothers have ever had one done. My parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles wouldn't have done one and I can't imagine they would have known what it meant anyway.

As you can see, I'm not into DNA where family history is concerned.

:-? what does BC mean?

BC = BC (Wench) I should think

[BC Wench]

Very clever.

all it takes is a 2nd or 3rd cousin to start narrowing the amount of people it could be at 25% its a full cousin or half sibling at 12.5 a second cousin if you were abandon doesn't say either of your parent didn't go on to have more children

if i wasn't working i would run a DNA page from here as it one massive advance in genealogy they can now detect if the match is you maternal or paternal side
