I was adopted by my mothers second husband in the late 70's and had no contact until I was about 15. I have only had opportunity to visit them about about 4 times in the last 13 yrs. I don't know if it is the same line or not but since I was litarily taken from the family when I was 3 I am interested in hearing form my relatives on that side. From the ones I know they are very warm and loving people and even though I don't see them often as I live in Virginia when I am there they treat me as if I have been there all my life. My grandparents seem to know quite a bit about the family tree and They may know some of the people you are looking for.
