My mother has been wanting to look for a long lost relation of ours.. but my grandmother forbade her, not wanting her to while she was alive.. she gave my mum all the info she had on this person, which is quite old. And my mum now can do it.

Do any of you have relations that you never knew anything of but wanted to find them?

Would you try to look for them?

What would you say or do.

I mean.. how do you contact someone and say.. yeah.. I'm your lost so and so and blah blah.

Tell me please.

unknowns in the family tree are nothing new to me.
but I do have a more direct unkown. My mom has another sister somwhere. but theyve decided not to bother looking.

with the way my family tends to work out, I've got a sneaking suspicion that she's actually not unknown to us at all.

its more than likely that she's been part of the family the whole time, under the title of another relative. (cousin)

that wouldnt surprise me.
but I dont plan to do any digging into it either way, becuase she is probably clueless to it as well. and that could cuase a strong rift.

my biological father, I just know his name, and nobody else knows anything about him, my mom doesn't know anything else about him, just where he used to live.

My Mum bumps into a friend of hers and sees that she's got a boy of about 13 with her.

"Who's this? Some long lost son of yours? Hahaha."
"Errr. Yes actually."
"Oh!"

meh, I don't really care to see him that much, he obviously didn't want me that bad so I don't really see the point in meeting him. I do thank him though, because now if I were to find myself in the same position he was in 9 months and 18 years ago, I won't be a damn coward like him and disappear.

A new relative comes up every so often in my family.

I mean, an aunt, uncle, cousin, whatever.

I have 2 older brothers that I have just recently found. I've always known about them...but they had no clue that they had 2 baby sisters.

They were taken away from my mother (by their father) when they were just little guys. They grew up believing that their mother was dead. My mom searched for them for years and years but never came close to finding them. It turns out they were taken to Greece for a couple of years...then returned to the states where they couldn't have been more than 50 miles (tops) from their mother. As my brother Eric grew older he began to notice inconsistencies in his fathers stories... which eventually lead to the truth coming out and a search to find his mother was on. It took quite a few years before he was able to find anything relevant but eventually an internet search paid off. We all met for the first time in July 03, and now we're just one big happy family.

I really don't know any of my family from my dads side.
I memorised names though. My mom made me.
And I made sure to go thru that huge list of names to anyone I ever met or tried dating to make damn sure I WAS'NT related to them. (GAG)

I don't really give much of a shit for any of my family other then my mother and my neice (more like my kid sister.)
I've got a half sister I grew up around and have always known about.
Then there's a bunch of bastard half sisters running around from my dad that we all just shrug off.

I don't have much of a family since my granma died.
She was the one that held it all together.
They all get together for christmas and thanksgiving and easter.
But My mom, me, and jax. We are'nt welcome.

My gramps (my dad's dad) was the only one that kept that family decent and in line after he died it all went to shit too.
