An adoptee's journey of discovery with genealogical information on Foley families in New York City and environs. Have I Found My Birth Family? I believe I have found my birth family! A cousin I spoke with was ecstatic and has agreed to do a DNA test. That was good enough for me! Sometimes reading between the lines is all that it takes. Something my cousin told me.there was a rumor years ago in the family that possibly one of the FOLEY girls from this family "lost a baby girl". My cousin always as...Until...

An adoptee's journey of discovery with genealogical information on Foley families in New York City and environs. Christmas once again.for real this time! It's Christmas morning, December 25, 2012 and I'm so looking forward to this day with family. When I first discovered my brother was a full sibling on August 31, 2012, I titled the post "Christmas in August". Little did I know then that it was an omen. But it sure has been one heck of a year and Christmas came to me once again. Sometimes you just ne...

An adoptee's journey of discovery with genealogical information on Foley families in New York City and environs. In order to begin this journey I use the BCG (Board for Certification of Genealogists) guidelines to map my search. It is the secret to good genealogical research. So based on this, I first need to define my goals for Alice:. 1 Is she related to other Foleys found on Long Island? 2 Who were her parents? 3 Did she have any siblings? She died before July 23, 1920. The detail from the census is:.

An adoptee's journey of discovery with genealogical information on Foley families in New York City and environs. The past 24 hours have been more than overwhelming. The horrible angst of waiting for my brother's and my cousin's DNA results; the fear and wonder, mixed with eventual joy, that proved (yes, PROVED) that we are fully related to the same parents. As you can see by these side by side photos of Robert and me when we were both about 17 years old, the resemblance is unmistakable. But I am going to...

An adoptee's journey of discovery with genealogical information on Foley families in New York City and environs. DNA to the Rescue.Finding my Mother and now my Father! To continue from my recent previous post in locating my birth mother. DNA was not the avenue that identified my mother but I am now confident that it has identified my father.

An adoptee's journey of discovery with genealogical information on Foley families in New York City and environs. I'm afraid Alice is going to have to take back seat for a while until I figure out my newest and latest DNA match who also happens to be a Foley! After months of hoping, wishing and praying of getting a "Foley" match to my DNA, my prayers have been answered. Last week a barrister from Dublin, Ireland wrote me whose surname is Foley. He had requested to share genomes. A genetic testing company.
