In 2003, about 2 years after my mother died, I started to wonder about our family history. It was then that I decided to take a class on-line and see what I could come up with. My Grandfather on my mother's side was supposed to be cherokee indian, his mother was full blood, his father only part. I thought that was where I would start having problems, but much to my surprise, the problem began with my mother. She was never born...smiles
I was born in San Joaquine California and along with my brother Virgil, mom and dad, moved to Nevada in the early 1960's. It was there that my mother decided she wanted to leave my father and did so with James Sterner. Sterner died in an accident and I joined mom in oregon. She and I traveled until I married Mike Botica in Phoenix, Arizona in 1970.
So here I am, 50 years old and wondering where I come from. Bet there are a lot of people like me. I've already uncovered a couple of family secrets...an aunt no body knows about and maybe even a biological father I thought was a cousin...What next?
Anxious to find out.
