Have you ever been able to, or even thought of trying to, trace your family tree?
I know my maternal grandmother was doing this over 30 years ago, but about 5 years ago I found out that she was not a blood relative.
I have dabbled in trying to find my birth father, since I learned about 5 years ago that this man left my mom while she was pregnant, and I was adopted by the man she dated and eventually married.
I haven't had much luck and time is running out because the man would be close to 70, unfortunately I can't afford a PI to help me out and this man's last name is very common, so I think I will never know.

well not complex like yours but our family tree has branched out of china. well our family is still young and it is just the 2nd generation to be born here. And the one who established it is still here with us. They say we have some sort of plaque in china with our names so that we and them can remember us but i havent seen it personally.

well, i have also at one time been interested in tracing my family roots.
It is not easy and well, it involves asking many people in ur family alot of questions.
At some point, its like one gets tired of not really getting answers that are leading, then after a while, it just gets boring and old.
Well,for me, i didnt have much success, maybe u did!
