At 83, Shirley discovered the man who raised her wasn’t her biological father. “It’s humbling and disconcerting... but a fact is a fact. The best thing to do is accept it and make the best of it.” By the time she learned this, the people who might have known were gone. Her children used DNA testing to find a common ancestor. Then they checked Census records and searched FamilySearch. They found him: Gilbert Lagier. Shirley’s biological father. “I am at peace with this information,” Shirley said. Now she’s finding as many new ancestors as she can. #familysearch #familytree #discover
