This is one thing ya gotta love about tech, it makes things a lot easier now for bringing families together.

Very inspiring stories. I'm African-American, and I have been researching my families roots vigorously as of late. My father passed away in 2006. He served in Vietnam. I actually have pictures of him while serving. Some pictures stand out because it's him with Asian women. He has 1 woman on 2 pictures. So the thought of me having possible siblings born there was always something often contemplated on because my dad was a ladies man in his younger days. I'm considering having a DNA test done. Although if something comes about, they would never have the opportunity to meet him but I would be able to bring some type of closure for someone.

Morris was lucky that his family lived in the South where nuclear families still exist and flourish. Thank you to Morris’ family for accepting him into your world.
