Finding Birth Parents with DNA

DNA Test Leads to Lost Family

My husband has an ancestor who was adopted, and never knew who his birth parents were. Through Ancestry DNA, I was able to figure out who the long lost birth parents were.

When I began to really look through my husband's DNA matches to figure out this puzzle, it helped so much that both of his parents had also had done Ancestry DNA tests. I could sort the matches to only see the maternal or paternal side, which allowed me to eliminate half the DNA matches from my search.
