MESSAGING PORTAL
TO: Henrietta Gleason
FROM: Sybil Van Antwerp
Good morning,
A little over two months ago I received notification from this website of a DNA match.
This was a mistake. I had no intention of opening my information to connection with other Kindred users.
As it turns out I did check the box by mistake when I was drunk.
I’m also going blind. (I am not an alcoholic; I rarely drink.
It was a bad set of circumstances.) I was planning to ignore the information, but a few days ago I opened the notification.
It appears that you and I are a DNA match.
My name is Sybil Stone Van Antwerp. I live in Annapolis, Maryland (the capital of the state of Maryland), and I grew up more or less in Philadelphia. I have two grown children and three grandchildren. I was adopted from within the US.
Perhaps this DNA matching business is nothing. I have spent most of the last year assuming it was all a scam, honestly, but here I am coming to you nonetheless. I think I would like to hear from you so I can at last shut off this particular valve in my mind.
Warm regards,
Sybil Van Antwerp
