Jamie I am so happy for you...I had a brother reach our to me after my mother had passed away because he was given up for adoption and it was the best excitement ever...I had know we had a brother but wasnt sure how to find him...But I'm so happy he reached out to me...He found me in 1997 after our mom had passed away but he was able to meet our dad and be in each other's lives until our dad passed too like 7 years later...But I'm glad he had that time with him...💗

Some women steal the kids from the dad. My dad's ex was all fine and good until my brother was born looking identical to my dad's youngest with the ex. The problem was her other son who clearly wasn't my dad's kid looked nothing like them. Instead of admitting she cheated and passed of another man's kid, she just took them and dissapeared. I found them 30 years later. They still don't know one isn't really a brother.

Each time it's overwhelming me and my tears are running down and in the mean time I feel so beeing alive, because this is what it takes , to have emotions. Today I was too much impressed by this spiritual gentleman who grew up in New Zealand and looked for his relatives from Ireland. It touched me deeply inside , how he visited them in the graveyard with so much respect and inner relationship towards them and which kind of ceremony he did standing at their graves. Today I learned a lot about maorian culture , my respect 🙏🏽❣

I too have Irish in my not too distant family tree. My grandfather emigrated from Ireland in the early 1910s. I remember him as a young kid with wire rim spectacles and sitting in his lap. He worked in the shipyards his whole life. When he died I clearly remember being upset because he was the first close relative to pass and I was old enough to grasp the concept of death.

I am glad David found his sister's and I hope this will bring them close again. I found that story the most fascinating because of my own family fracturing as I look back at family photos of us before we fractured we always lined up in family photos in the same way we fractured. Twice when the sisters lined up the one stood a little apart from the other 3. The strange thing is as I look at my family photos we didn't stand in one group pitted against the other. 2 of us stood a little separated from the others because we felt excluded. When the fracturing happened we were the 2 left out.

Glad to see that Tiwai found his Irish side. Not so easy to connect or reconnect with family you never knew. Genealogy and family ancestry research can be so exciting. One of my coworkers from the United States took a trip to Ireland (his ancestral homeland from a few generations back). While in Ireland, he got drunk in a bar and said offensive things and jokingly tried to imitate the stereotypical Irishman (something he learned in American culture). The Irish people didn't tolerate it. They ran him out of the bar and accused him of being a stereotypical arrogant American. He took his ignorance and returned to the US regretting his trip.

Idk, very unimpressed with these fathers who chose to lose touch with their children. James Brown asking his daughter "how long did you look for me?" ....actually I would love to know IF he even made any effort at all to look for HER! You know, between having 8 other kids and all. He has at least 1 child older than her. They never specified if it was with a different woman etc. He just seems like a player. Showed up to the meeting like he was going to clean out the Garage or something. Wish her all the best of luck with him (I think she'll need it)

I didn't recognize her after so long. I got to spend the next three years with her and then was put back into a convent and didn't get to live with her after that, but did see her from time to time as I got older. She had 11 sons and 2 daughters.

Bob Jones’ story intrigues me. It seems there is no account of what the man was like, only where he went and who he had children with. His daughters don’t seem to have anything much to say about him. How must his older daughters have felt about him leaving and coming back years later? One would assume that he could not have been a nice man to give his children so much pain to contend with, but its not really clear from this show as to how his daughters feel about him. Poor Dave has no idea what to think or feel about his so called ‘father’ that left him behind forever.
