I am a junior, and I was born in Abilene Texas, but I was raised primarily in California. I am Black and I believe that my father was in the military, USMC. Stationed at Dyess AFB at the time I was born.(1981) My mother doesn't speak of him much and doesn't really like to so I really don't have much to go on. I believe that I have siblings and I would love to meet my dad's side of the family. PLEASE HELP!!!!!! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
