I also was touched by your tribute to the man who raised you.Your dad. Reminds me of a saying - Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad. <br />Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17562649451684751043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736915898745884926.post-29008868443756197992016-10-24T10:22:18.534-04:002016-10-24T10:22:18.534-04:00What a riveting story, I'm glad you solved you...What a riveting story, I'm glad you solved your mystery and so quickly. <br /><br />I added your blog to the list of blogs on my own blog some time ago simply because your roots are in the Wake/Johnston area in North Carolina and you research the Allen family. The sister, Mary Reeves, of my 3rd great grandfather married Bartlett Allen, RW soldier, in Wake County in 1785. They didn't leave a very noticeable footprint in historical records so I've spent a lot of time digging around in NC records researching local Allen families as well as my Reeves.<br /><br />Again, I just wanted to say Hi and let you know how much I enjoyed the tale of your DNA results and ultimate revelation.<br /><br />BeverlyBeverly Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651072473717710158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736915898745884926.post-19096407356699694952016-10-14T10:39:33.924-04:002016-10-14T10:39:33.924-04:00Colleen!

I thought long and hard about making my "situation" public, but decided that not only would I need the help of others to determine my biological father, but there was really no reason not to share. Both of my parents are gone and I am an only child. If they were alive, that would have been a different story. I really appreciate all your kind words!

I cannot imagine what it would be like to discover that one of your parents was not biologically related to you. I honestly don't know if I would share that with the world. It is wonderful that you calmly, bravely & logically followed the path to discover the truth. I wish you continued luck in learning about these new family branches.Colleen G.
