Two Long Lost Sisters Find Each Other from Ancestry DNA Testing and Spend Their First Thanksgiving Together in 2022
Two sisters meet for the first time on Thanksgiving since finding out about each other. One sister lives in England and the other lives in North Carolina.
Two sisters, separated by the Atlantic Ocean, are finally getting to meet after a 45-year-long search by one sister. They have been apart for 60 years.
Two Sisters Adopted by Two Different Families
WNCT 9 News reported that two sisters were born in England, and separate families adopted both.
One sister, Lisa Strang, was taken to the United States after birth, and now lives in Chocowinity, North Carolina. The other sister, Amanda Brooks, still lives in England.
Lisa Strang’s godmother lives in England and offered to help Lisa search for any family currently living in England. After 45 years of searching birth records and using Ancestry DNA testing, Lisa finally learned about a distant cousin who also was interested in genealogy.
They got in touch, and the connection paid off. This cousin was able to pinpoint someone that had a strikingly close match to Lisa Strang’s DNA. It turned out to be the son of her long, lost sister.
