I am working to help Patricia Manders, born 1939 in Washington DC and adopted as an infant to find her birth mother. You are a DNA match for her and John Hammond, according to Gedmatch. I have his tree and I know that Patricia is related to his mother's side of the family, Ruth Lyons was her name. I will try to find your Ancestry tree. Patricia's tentative tree is Mander's Family tree and her daughter Beverly was able to use DNA to find Patricia's father. Her mother has been more elusive. Since you are related and we have one clue with John Hammond's tree, you would help us to narrow down a branch to focus on! Patricia's mother would be about 100 years old now, but she is still hoping to someday see her picture and I maybe meet a biological relative. Meanwhile, I will see if I can find you in Ancestry.
