Has anyone else got 1/2 brothers and sisters who live abroad or who you have only just found out exist. I always known about 1 1/2 sister and 2 1/2 brothers but since starting this research I have heard of another 1/2 brother. Yester day for the first time I was given pics of 2 of my 1/2 brothers and I am delighted to be able to see who they are. Fi

Hi Fi Yes, I've found out in recent months I have two half sisters, one of whom was adopted at 6 weeks old. I can't even find a record of her birth being registered. The other one, I have a photo of and her birth certificate and I've tracked down her marriage certificate. After that she appears to have totally disappeared, so is possibly abroad. I'll keep looking though and hope to be lucky like you! I hope you do get to meet yours. Denise
