Really cool news...

I have 3 brothers that I never met named Joseph, Jonathan and Matthew. They're my father's 3 sons from his 2nd marriage. I think I found Jon and Matt online. We have the same last name and they're in Paulsboro, NJ (where my father lived). To seal it, I read some messages that people left them online in June 2006 offering condolences for the loss of their father. June 2006 is when my father died. It's too much of a coincidence. Also, we have a lot of facial similarities. I can see my father in them. So, I sent them both messages. Let's see if they respond.

Wow, that certainly is exciting! Just like in the movies, huh?

I truly wish you the best of luck. I went through a similar situation a few years back with...well I wouldn't say 'happy ending' - more like a peaceful outcome. Much was resolved. Just don't put too many expectations on anything - that being my only advice.

I wonder if they have tried to find you, as well.

Thanks guys. I don't think their mother liked me very much. Apparently she met me when I was really young. I think she felt threatened by my father having a "first born" that didn't come from her. So, I don't know if she's turned them against the idea of knowing me or not. Time will tell...
