My grandfather was a bigamist—he had en entire other family hidden away; my grandmother discovered this when her younger daughter (my mother) was a baby. She cut him out of her life and then quite literally cut him—out of every photo. My mother spent her life wanting to see at least a picture of him. When I got older, she urged me (why me??) to find him. After her death, through Ancestry, I did find cousins from that missing side, though I've still to find his children (my mother's half-sisters and brothers.) I did find that I am related to a fairly well-known (now deceased) author. Are genetics at play?

I am intrigued by the very last part of your comment that as a young woman you went on to read "Anne Frank's Diary." Did you go on to read other books about the Holocaust? As a Holocaust survivor, and author of a memoir entitled "Memories of Evil -- Recalling a World War II Childhood," this is obviously of great interest to me.
