About 2 years ago I got into Friends Reunited. Nothing heavy - just met up with some guys I'd been at school with, found they'd changed beyond recognition, stayed in touch with a couple of them and lost contact again with the rest.
During that time the site owners started something called Genes Reunited which was supposed to be able to help you build your family tree. I entered some details on it but so few people were using it at that time that I got nowhere. I haven't been back since.
Two days ago I got an e-mail from somone on that site asking questions about my mother. I answered in a guarded way but e-mails flew both ways then a couple of telephone conversations.
Now there is no doubt - I have a new half brother that neither I nor my siblings had any idea about. My mother won't answer any questions (she's in her 70's now). He seems a decent bloke, 8 years older than me so I'm not even the eldest any more. My emotions are running riot. He still lives in Derbyshire. I don't know whether I should meet him or not. Heart says go for it. Has anything like thias happened to anyone else?
