So, a few years back after an email from my dad's brother, it transpired I had older siblings I didn't known anything about.
I ended up on the tv show 'secrets in my family' and we all met up and was lovely.
Now in the last few days, we've all had a DNA hit on ancestry. The reading isn't particularly helpful and shows possibilities of first cousin/grandparent/ and of course step sibling...
Given the age of person in question, and age of my uncles it can only be another step sibling..
Yay |

"Wow how exciting"
Growing up thinking you were the oldest of 3, to find out you were the middle of 6 (potentially now 7) is a funny feeling.
My dad certainly got about a bit |

"Wow! 23 is crazy!"
2 wives. 12 by one and 11 by the other. Unfortunatly i dont know much about it but both wives died and left him a widow with 23 children. Unfortunatly the ones who where young and couldnt fend for themselves had to go to the barnados home. Its an interesting story just a shame i dont know many details

I'd be so interested in doing this!
My mum left my dad when I was 18 months old and I haven't seen him since. Not so much interested in seeing him again, but I would like to meet my aunties and uncles and cousins (I have at least one auntie on his side) on his side, and, as I'm an only child, I do wonder if he had any more kids and if I have any half siblings put there. |

Interesting times ahead for you and your growing family OP 
I found out on my 23rd birthday that the man I called dad was not my biological father, and we were not speaking at the time. My mum died when I was 9 and I had to find out pieces of information from family members who had kept it secret from me throughout my life.
I spent the next 13 years deciding whether I wanted to find my biological father and so one day I created a Facebook page and after some basic searching I found him and messaged him. I only asked him one question, if he knew my mum. He told me everything my family had given me and more.
We met for a chat and that was 10 years ago, he is now a member of my family and a grandfather to my children. I have met 2 of 3 of my half siblings but not any other members of family on his side and tbh I am not interested as I only set out to find my father and that I did.
Good luck to anyone embarking on such a journey.
