I am currently searching for my biological father/father's family. Based on the information that I have gotten from my DNA tests, I am closer than I have ever been. I have always felt like a huge part of myself is missing. I was born in Kansas City in 1983. My mother can provide little to no information for me. My search has led to me the knowledge that I am almost positive that Kitty Louise Harding O'Dell McGovney is my paternal Grandmother. I think that one of her sons is my biological father. I started my research more than a year ago and was extremely sad to learn that one of her sons, Tim O'Dell, had just passed away in 2019. The bright side is that if I am his son, from what I have learned, he did not have any other children, so I hope that the family would welcome a new son.

I would suggest starting with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.
Please add as much information as you can, with sources, as it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.
Thank you for adding your DNA to WikiTree. Getting the Best from DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.
Adoptees: How to Set Up Your Profile is a WikiTree help page specifically designed for new members who indicate they are adoptees.
