This was before he knew my mother, and I don't know if you remember me doing a thread about it, but after doing Ancestry a few years ago I get an email from a young woman who did it with her sisters and dad, and we I came up a familial match with her dad. Come to find out I had a half brother in Hawaii. lol.
Daddy had some pics in an album from when he was in Hawaii, and there was only one and it had two women in it. I sent her a copy of it and she said, "That's my grandmother on the right". She sent me a pic of her grandmother and dad when he was a boy. Anyway, life's little surprises. lol.
