What wonderful news, Isn't it great to feel you are now part of an extended family, and that you are so loved by someone who just a short time ago, was a stranger. And now because of the blessings of a blood tie, you have been able to pick up your life with each other and become an extended family.
We get joy out of finding ancestors when doing our family history, So how much more you have been given for not just knowing of your Brother, But actually knowing your Brother.
Congratulations and best wishes.

Thanks for understanding the technical glitch this weekend ...I am back .. fresh and ready to go from a weekend of sun, fun, boating and fishing with my brother and SIL. For those of you who may not know, I met my brother just before Thanksgiving for the first time. So, these occasional weekends are most precious as we try to make up for lost time.
While I've known of him since I was in my early teens .. I tried unsuccessfully to contact him and my other 2 siblings for the next 35-40 years. I then found out he knew of me when he was 18 .. he will be 50 this year. He was told by our father that I was his sister and that I would never be told so he stayed away out of respect for my parents but vowed he "would" come forward after that.
After watching "The Locator", I tried one more time to find him and .. I DID!!!! We talked .. a couple days went by .. we talked again and wore out the batteries of 2 cell phones .. that was a Tuesday and we agreed to meet on Saturday. We talked again .. and by Friday he called and said "What are you doing .. I can't wait anymore!"
It's been a GLORIOUS reunion and we continue to be thankful we each moved forward .. what a blessing he is to my life! And Sally is a beautiful woman who kept my memory ever present over the years.
Tried to get online and Richard and Sally subscribed to Internet service so I could. Unfortunately, their computer is too old to function and I don't have a laptop. Will work something out for the weekends I go there .. but SOOOO HAPPY TO BE BACK ON MEDHELP AND FEELING GREAT!!!!!
Have some F-U-N and WORK planned for all of us for this week! Be sure and watch the board!
Thanks for the info.............glad she is getting in some relaxation. Will catch up with her later.
