I'm friends with a neighbour up the road. She was stunned on Thursday to discover that her Brother and I were DNA matches - 10cM over 1 segment. She herself shares a match with a lady in my adoptive Mothers tree - but not with my adoptive Mother herself.
I've been round to see my neighbour today to compare matches. Whilst their I noticed I had some new DNA matches - including one to my Adoptive Mother of 7cM over 1 segment making her a 5th-8th Cousin(as well as my Mum)!
To say we are stunned/shocked is putting it mildly. I was adopted from a different part of the Country as in the 1970s that was done on purpose to stop the chance of meetings etc occurring.
I now need to find the link between myself & my adoptive Mum - which could be in Norfolk if it is from my Natural Mothers side. If on my Natural Fathers side I haven't a clue........
