A guy...That must have been one hell of a surprise.<br /><br />A guy I know in town was telling the story about how he and his brother were talking on the phone. They had already learned a few years ago of a third, unknown brother. One guy said to the other, "You're going to be surprised about this one." The second guy responded jokingly, "What? Mom had another kid?" Yep. She did.Gerard Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289822422163685990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-17441221722002780522018-07-06T07:49:56.871-04:002018-07-06T07:49:56.871-04:00As fascinating as it must be disturbing to you, Pa...As fascinating as it must be disturbing to you, Patti. Seana's suggestion offers hope of solving this mystery. There's a book here, too, shouting to be written.

After 50 years of marriage, my grandmother worried that people would know that she was pregnant when she got married. By then, who cared?TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-38630226231889220892018-07-05T11:09:27.470-04:002018-07-05T11:09:27.470-04:00My mother was an only child and my father was the ...My mother was an only child and my father was the third youngest of 19 when he died at 96.

One of the last of their cousins just died after many years with Alzheimers. I do have cousins a little older than me who might "know" something, but if I needed answers like yours I wouldn't really have a place to go. My mother died six years ago. She would have been my source.

This is a real life mystery.<br /><br />No one who ever saw me and my father and my grandfather in pictures taken at a similar age could ever doubt that one came from the other from the third. Personality-wise, however, there are big differences (and yes, some resemblances).<br /><br />I would hate that I found this out at an age where there is no one left alive to question.Jeff Meyersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093411926030586355noreply@blogger.com
