I haven't listed the names about my fathers family due to the issue of reconciliation that has been made clear by them. I think I was hoping to find my grandfathers family with hope of being accepted, as I've been rejected from my father and his step family.

My parents separated when I was young, therefore we lost touch with my fathers side of the family. I began my ancestry research as I got older and wanted to understand more about the family I didn't know or have a chance to meet.
