Also, think of the health history information he might value? We all need to have this info, our genes tell our future. He could be genetically predisposed to cardiac problems, a blood disorder, cancer, etc. Evelyn -----Original Message----- From: gracie [mailto:g.winters@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Wednesday, June 21, 2006 3:08 PM To: WVLOGAN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WVLOGAN] SecretsOTS I agree totally with Sue. It would be terrible if the son could never find out that his father tried to find him. If your daughter wants to find her half-bro, post that also. He might be looking himself. Secrets hurt people most of the time.

>>He could be genetically predisposed to cardiac problems, a blood disorder, >>cancer, etc.<< Evelyn, You are right....cardiac problems and alcoholism. Several family members had problems with these....big-time. I really appreciate everyone's feed back on this. My daughter also thinks it's a good idea. I don't think that I will mention it to my son unless I have some success. Thanks, Carole
