re: You ever discovered an immediate relative whom you weren't aware of? - Update on Page 6

My great uncle was a aviator in the Navy. He was killed in a plane crash in 1949.

Around 2003, my dad received a call from a genology researcher saying she represented a woman in Connecticut who had been given up for adoption by a navy nurse who was stationed at Norfolk about the same time my great uncle was also there. My grandfather has just recently passed away, so we were never able to ask if he knew anything about it.

This was well before 23-n-me testing was around, and other than confirming the basic details, we did not conclusively establish a connection. Never heard from the researcher again. Not sure if she had any family to further confirm, and my dad did not want to pursue it.
