Hello everyone on this thread. I am somewhat new to all of this. My name is Monica and I signed up for these DNA sites in hopes of connecting with family I never knew. I see alot of these posts are very old and I am hoping that someone see this.
I recently had a match as a third cousin to a Thacker. Last year when I started this I had a match to a Dewight Thacker as a 4th cousin. He also matched my son.
I would love to share information about my family but I do not know who my family is. I am appx. 41 maybe 42. It has been told to me by the women who raised me that she thought my Bio mother was from Virginia.
My bio mother left me with this women back in the mid 70's and never returned for me. I was left without a birth certificate and have not been able to obtain one since no one knew what my bio mothers real name was.
I can say I can at least believe that I probably was from Virginia since most of my DNA connections surnames are from Virginia.
I pray someone sees this and contacts me. I am on Gedmatch, Family Finder and recently took the 23 and Me test. Oh and of course, Ancestry.
I have way more information that will explain more about this post. Private message me if you are serious with interest.
One last thing, I believe my bio mothers family never knew she had a child which is me.
Also, I do not know if the Thacker name is matching me from my bio mother or my bio fathers line. I did take the Mtdna in Family Finder. I do not know how to read the results.
Thank you for your time
Monica
