I'm just getting started learning about the other half of my heritage. I was reunited with my birthmom three years ago. She was originally from Guam. Came to San Francisco, CA in November, 1970 gave birth to me February 26, 1971. She was born on Guam. Returned back to Guam kept me a secret from my birthfather. I've learned that my birthfather's name is Juan Taijeron or John. My grandparents are deceased. (I believe their names are Francisco Isabel Taijeron.) I was in contact a little over a year ago with a gentleman that grew up on Guam ( now lives in San Francisco,) whom knew my birthfather's family. I have an Uncle Jorge/George whom is younger than my birthfather, (my birthfather is probably in is his mid 50's now.) I also have 3 or 4 other uncles an older auntie that still, most likely, live on Guam. According to the SSDI, if I have located the correct people to be my deceased grandparents, Francisco Taijeron was born 9/30/1909, resided in Barrigada, Guam, passed away in Jan. 1974. Isabel Taijeron was born 1/27/1912, resided in Barrigada, Guam, passed away 10/27/1990.

My birthmom I lost contact a year ago, but I am close with my half brothers half sister in Alaska. Their father (my birthmom's husband,) is also from Guam he knew my birthfather.

The gentleman I spoke to last year re: my birthfather's family said that they are good people that he's pretty positive the family doesn't know about me. However, my birthmom said that following my birth adoption in 1971 her return to Guam she told four friends of her pregnancy birth one of the friends she confided in eventually married one of my uncles on Guam--so she became my birthfather's sister-in-law.

I'm at a point in my life where I am eager to learn of my heritage.

Any advice and/or information provided to me in my search would be greatly appreciated.
