The most interesting thing I learned was what our ancestors went through to come to this country and start a new life in a strange land and learn a new language. Some with only a few possessions.

I want to claim my indian heritage, but do not know how to begin to search for this information.

Oh my, so many ways of finding the infomation there is, and I have included the links you will need to help you. Of course, in addition to this, you can also use the resources at your local library, they are only too happy to help you with your searches and queries.

race, religion, or nationality in your blood that you didn't know before? Are you related to someone famous? Anything unusual?

I'm related to Matt Leinart! Also I came over on the mayflower (well not me but my family) My family has a elementary school named after it. My dad loves to do genealogy stuff. My great-grandfather wrote a book about our family, many libraries and muesums (man I could never spell that lol) have it.

I live in a pretty big sub-urban town and am discovering so many different developments. However whenever I search online I seem to come up dry. I do so many Google searches and still find nothing.

Is there a website that exists somewhere that enables me to search for new AND existing subdivisions (developments)?

Google “your town” and “mls” or “board of realtors”.

MLS stands for multiple listing service.

You can also go to realtor.com.

Good luck.

or are you still searching? don't want to search? and why?

In junior high, I remember someone asking me, "Don't you want to know your 'real' family?" I didn't. I really didn't at that time. It wasn't until I was about 18 or 19 that the burning desire (need) to know began to set in.

I had no idea WHERE to begin for several years. Then I found a group in my area for adoptees & birth parents. I joined the group when I was 22. I waited about 3 months before sending my first letter, preparing myself emotionally for the search.

It took me several more months before I had the name of my birth mother and an older sister. I found my older sister first, and contacted her. The day we met, she called our (my) birth mom and put me on the phone. I met my birth mom & a brother the following weekend. I was 23 years old.

It took me 3 years longer to contact my birth father, although I had his information for at least a couple of years. After taking my son to the hospital in an ambulance while having a major seizure, I knew I needed to finish my search for medical information, if nothing else. And for my son's sake.

At 26, I called my birth father and asked for my medical history. He wanted to meet me. Wow! By then, miraculously, he was living in California where I'm from. I met him, his wife, and two more siblings.

Both have since passed away. I'm still in touch with a couple of my bio siblings.

Finding them is the best thing I've ever done for myself. I no longer feel "adopted", which I suppose means I no longer feel 'separated' . I know who I am, how I got here, who I take after (in all three of my families), and what happened…why I was adoped. Not because my mother didn't want me!

To those of you who know nothing about adoption, I really wish you would stop writing that mothers give up their babies because they don't want them!

Mothers gave up their babies out of fear, shame, being forced to by family, & because they had NO OTHER CHOICE. Especially in decades past.

I've been trying to search for my family history in order to create a family tree but I only have up to my great grandparents name. Everywhere I search, it's mainly taking me to US history. I need to find someplace that will take me to Brazilian records and even to Portgual and Italy. Can anyone help?

your family? or google where else!

I have family members in the Battambang area I lost touch with when I escaped to Thailand 30 years ago. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas of resources to make this task easier? Are there any sources I can use between now and this fall to get any information before my trip? Thank you.

it is not easy in Cambodia to find people, cos you know the government cant control thier own population or static, i dont know what to say in english, cos i am not good at it, i am from Cambodia.

the search engine or Red cross (cos of corruption) cant help you i bet. 30 year of losing toch it is really hard to find.
the way you can do is you come here, advertise their name in Local Newspaper, their previous name, job, …….
and another way is you come to Battambang go down to that district and ask the govenor.
which distric they lived? cos actually i come from Battambang also.

want any help mail me ra_jerm@yahoo.com
