Born on April 3, 1992 in Tuba City, Arizona on the Navajo reservation to Marlene Maloney and Joseph McPherson. And adopted a week later by Marguerite Walsh and Harry Umen who raised him, with terrific amount of love and great morals, as their own. On his 18th birthday, Ben was able to talk to his biological grandmother on his maternal side for the first time ever and has since been able to discover and communicate with a wealth of maternal side relatives in the hundreds. The feelings that he got that day showed how much it actually meaner to him to discover his roots. He hopes now that with this page and account, he will move closer to discovering who his father is/was and find some closure that he never realized could help him. Thank you for reading. -Ben ✌

I see you've been on WikiTree for about a week now. How is it going so far? Was the first page of the New Member How-Tos helpful or did it leave you with questions? It has confused the best of us at times!
If you have any problems or questions click my name above, then ask in the comment section of my page or send me a private message. Just know that anything you ask, I probably asked the same question in the beginning.
