Additional Info
I have found my birth mother. The man she believed to be my father was proved not to be through DNA. I did ancestry.com and matched with a man who is either a grandparent or Graf uncle however....none of his children or his sisters children were raised in Illinois and all moved out of state when their children were young. They never returned to Illinois with their children. My birth mother said the only other possibility is a man who claims to not know who my mother is and who I do not match with on ancestry I have hit a dead end and run out of resources. Please help.
