ISHI 2020 Keynote Address: Resolving a Case of Unknown Identity Through Genetic Genealogy

It's a story that involves a famous unsolved kidnapping case, buried secrets, a family with murder, lies, a 55-year-old cold case, and incredible genealogical detective work.
It began with a DNA test in 2012; in an instant the man raised as Paul Fronczak had no name, no birth-date, no medical history, no known relatives, no past, no pictures - nothing to identify himself. He was an unidentified living person.
This is the story of how Paul, genetic genealogist CeCe Moore, and a group of volunteers pieced together a family mystery. Hear the latest on Paul’s unique story and learn more about the possibilities that genetic genealogy can unlock during this joint keynote presentation at the 31st International Symposium on Human Identification.

    My Jewish girlfriend who knew she was adopted did the ancestry dna test and found out she was actually Mexican! And THEN she found her biological father who never ever knew that she even existed. And on top of that he never ever had any other children and always regretted it. It was the happiest ending you could ever dream of. Strangely he can’t remember who it was he had slept with in order to try and help her find her mother. Apparently he was a really good looking ladies man back in the day.

    My mom who was given up to a couple that couldn't have children. Found out in her 30s the parents that raised her weren't her bio parents. She was given the name of her birth mother Rita. Rita did not want to meet my mom and would not disclose who her father was. She found who she suspected to be her father but he had passed away 50 years prior. We found her father's grand children and they agreed to test with ancestry. It was confirmed that the man she suspected to be her father was indeed her father. Not only that but slowly one by one my mom started getting close family matches. It turned out that Rita had 4 daughters. She gave all of them away. My mom and Linda turned out to have the same father they were full sisters. Judy and Kathy had the same father and were half sisters to my mom and Linda. DNA and ancestry thank you

    I was always told a particular man was my father. At the age of 18, I learned I didn't carry his last name; I was legally named after my mother. They said it was because when I was born, 4/19/43, they were not married so I had to have my mother's last name. Years later, after 911 I went to Motor Vehicles in Maine, to have my license renewed. My BC, that had been in the same place in my wallet for years, was not there. I had to send for another BC in New Jersey and it came with someone else's name on it as my father. (I had not had a father's name on my original BC). The name was the brother of the man I thought was my father. My sister and I ultimately did DNA testing and it was determined we were sisters, but there was a big enough difference that a questioned remained if we were full blooded sisters. A friend of mine knew a geneologist and she told her what the numbers were without the backstory. She said it sounded as if we were half siblings with a very closely related parent (father). That kind of information screws with every part of one's being. Later, we found some other relatives in NJ and they said they knew I existed and could never find me. I asked them how they knew I existed and they said, "Because your Kevin's daughter." They always knew I existed but disappeared. Apparently, my mother was married to Bill's brother and she ended up living with Bill and having four more children after me. Bill had also run off, leaving behind two other families (apparently never divorced). That explained so much in my life. They were always in hiding.

Thirdly, look for other relative that may be associated with the person you are looking for.

When I told my dad's sister I was doing DNA, she became really hostile, and said, "You better not. You might find out things you don't want to know." Turns out, she had already done DNA, and she's not my aunt. Some distant cousin. The investigation continues.

He was “given” to people who had their baby stolen from the hospital, and were “pressured” into identifying him as theirs. He grows up as theirs except he isn’t. He finds out who he is except he had a twin who is “missing.” Okay, now for MY questions: If the real parents are alive, what do they say happened? Put the real parents under a HOT light and make them tell what happened and WHERE Jill is! Good grief, get it DONE before they claim dementia etc.

    Taking inspiration from what Cece and others have done, I have been able to trace bio parents or grandparents (and beyond) for several dozen people. It is easier if they happen to be related to me, but it can also be done with others. Numbers and scientific concepts are a bit hard for me - but locations and dates and surnames can often be organized into a pattern. Took me one week to identify both bio parents for "Adopted Bob", and about 24 hours to figure out who his biological second cousin's grandfather was. True, I yet to tackle any cases involving crime. Fair warning! No one escapes responsibility for their wrong-doing by virtue of being related to me - my DNA is out there for all the world to see.

    He was very ill (dying) when they found him and didn't want his mom to see him sickly, but they spoke on the phone several times before he passed away though. It worked out in the end for his parents. They raised a son they loved and found their other son, knowing he had a good childhood.

    I am fascinated by genealogy but my only wuestion for now is, why is it so expensive to do the testing? I understand it costs money but surely with all the advantages of having peoples dna the cost sjouls be closer to cost so that more people are encouraged to it. Also, advertising it as a gift package would also help.

    I paid $140 for my ancestry test, and tbey do advertise it as a gift option. It has come a long way with regards to pricing. Used to be in the thousands for a dna test. And around the holidays, they often lower the price as a holiday special. I saved up for my test.

    I still wonder why I think I should question if I belong? But, if I ask anybody or say anything, then I am shut down, and looked at like I'm crazy. I'm not. I might be wrong to wonder, but there are reasons why I have questioned am I or am I not. Why was I able to access my birth certificate in Frankfurt, Germany when I first did, and then only a short period after I asked my Mother as an adult, I was locked away from viewing a family video that had been available on FB, then I went back into the system to look at my birth certificate again so that I could maybe look at some of the other information that might have been available/matching to my certificate, and my birth certificate on-line said I was dead. I printed both. The one that showed my info to be the exact same as my paper certificate ( except for having my grandmother's name on it and a reference name of Stevens ), and the time I went back in to look at my birth record and it said I was dead. So, again, I wonder why did that happen? And before my Mother died, after each visit to my Mom's, I would say "I love you" before I would leave for my house and she would say, "No, you don't". I assume that maybe I hurt her feelings pretty bad and for that I do feel pretty bad about. But then, when I was adopting a little girl, why did my Mother have a fit and assume the baby girl was fathered by my husband and another woman. It was hard to convince her that she had not been and that I was sure of it. Why would Mother compare me to my half-sister, and then later to my niece, and then a sister-n-law? I think that she might have just been upset because I still loved my Dad after they split and she believed I shouldn't. My birth certificate says I was born in Germany, but I don't have any blood relatives coming up except for people on my Dad's side of the family. Mom has passed away and so has my Dad. My Mother's only brother passed away before she did and he was actually her half brother and only sibling. I think there were secrets and I'm not sure if I was one or not. I'm 63 now and all of my Dad's siblings passed before he did, so there isn't anybody I could ask; at least not anybody that would ever really say. I guess I could do another DNA test and see if it changes anything. At least my thoughts are out to someone that wouldn't think I'm crazy for wondering. Maybe I really don't have a reason to wonder, but I've always had a feeling that something is lost or different about me. Maybe its just me because I have so many brothers and the difference is that I was my Dad's only daughter and Mom just was afraid or felt hurt that I might love him more than her, which is crazy. I did what any normal little girl would do and that is miss your Daddy because he one day wasn't there anymore. I didn't understand when they split. I only knew that we were a good family and then something bad happened, I heard them arguing one night and then my Dad was gone after that. A little girl doesn't understand at the age of 5. Back then, children stayed with the Moms.

    Absolutely! With Ancestry, you can only compare your DNA to other Ancestry DNA test takers. When you upload your DNA to a service like GED Match, you can compare your results to people who have tested with 23 & Me and other services. The more results you can compare with, the greater your chances of solving brick walls and other family mysteries.
