ExMarine here again. One last and final update, because I think this thread is now dead. I've been back to Scotland 3 times. Everyone in my Scottish family have been nothing but awesome. My bio-mother gave me the name of the guy she thought was my bio-father. I had absolutely no luck finding him by his name. So I went the 23AndMe route. Spit in the tube and mailed it off. Three weeks later I got a message from a lady who told me that I was her cousin. After a little ground work, she figured out that her Uncle was probally my bio-father. She paid for his 23AndMe kit and sent it off. Sure a shit... I got a message from the website telling me that 1/2 my DNA came from him. So with that I have finally found all of my biological parents and extended families. Last October I flew from Portland, OR to W. Virginia and spent about 4 days with my Bio-dad. Met another large group of cousins, nieces and nephews.All of this said. I once again would like to extend a heart-felt thank you... a massive one to everyone who has given me tips/tricks/motivation/encouragement to finally track all of these people down. You are the best.
