5. Lyric, you may remember me. We are cousins.

But I'm adopted, so although I've had my DNA done, it won't help you.
But a blood cousin recently had her DNA done, and there were zero African percentages.

Which Heinze line are you in? Our line, (it's still my line, because it's the only family I've known,
and the only history I have,) is Augustus Heinze, originally from Prussia. Came to the states in
about 1854-55. Married Mary Ellen Chambers. (If that is her correct name.) I have been working on
them for years, and they are next to impossible to find. They are both in the 1860 and 1870 census,
she is in the 1880 census, as a widow, and by 1900, she is gone too.

Anyway, what is your grandfather's name? Maybe I can help you out a bit. There are Heinze cousins,
(if you can remember, we were all in touch for a while some years back,) and they live in PA and Virginia.
Maybe they can help. Family gossip travels around, no matter what. So they may have heard something
over the years.

Let me know what your grandfather's name was and we'll go from there. I'll see what I can do to help you find
your birth family. I found mine, but I did have the help of my adoptive parents. THEY are my parents, not my
birth parents. But I had a very loving home. I wish you had had a whole lot more love and understanding in your life.
Hang in there. Just maybe we can find answers for you.

Your cousin,
Dem2theMax
