Dear Tim,
This week, Dec-2013, my sons found out that their grandmother (their father's mother) was Helen Pilarski. Their father is dead (John Joseph Pilarski Eisel) and my sons are 50, 48 and 44.
Helen Piarski gave up John Joseph at 2 months in 1942 and the Catholic Charities of Toledo gave us the entire file only last week!
I have given my DNA and my son has given his DNA to Ancestry.com in the last year. If your wife is serious about finding relatives, have her send her DNA through Ancestry ($100) and she may find her relatives.
My sons would also live to find blood relatives....for curiosity sake and for health interests.
Thanks!
