Genevieve Purinton, 88-year-old, gave birth to Connie Moultroup in 1949 at a hospital in Indiana. After awhile she was informed by a staff that her baby had died.


The daughter, Connie Moultroup, 69-year-old, was taken to an orphanage and later adopted by a couple from Santa Barbara, California. But her adoptive parents died when she was 5-years-old.


Her adoptive mother died of cancer, and her adoptive father remarried but the woman was very abusive to Connie. Her adoptive father was later diagnosed with a heart condition.


Bonnie Chase, Connie’s daughter gave her mother an Ancestry.com DNA testing kit for Christmas last year. she has ever received.

Connie said:

"It took me a while to use it, but when I finally got the results I went from having only three known relatives (a daughter and two grandchildren), to 1,600 relatives. I was floored."


She got in touch with a distant cousin. Who led her to her mother. Connie got her mom’s information and sent her a card with contact numbers, and on September 8, her mother called. She said:

"I told her my mother’s name was Genevieve Purinton, and my cousin said, “Oh, that’s my aunt. And she’s still alive, living on her own.

I couldn’t believe it. I was going to meet my mother.

I was at church that day, and I never want to leave early, but that day I did. Literally, 20 minutes after getting home, my mother calls."

The two agreed to meet each other, and on Monday, the two finally reunited at Purinton’s home in a retirement community in Tampa, Florida.

"I met my mother and my cousin in person, and we cried. It was just a crying fest

Not everybody has this kind of outcome when looking for their parents, but I recommend you give it a try, you don’t know what will happen.:

How in the name of long life is this possible? If it was here one of them would have succumbed to death at forty five or earlier.

What a sad and joyous moment, all at once.


Happy family reunion.
