Many years ago, I bought an Ancestry DNA test kit for my cousin who is the daughter of Harold Klimpel the adoptee. She actually did get the test done but any of the lines of connection for her from the test were connections from her mother's family none from her father's.
Harold's birth records indicate that his birth mother was a Gunwar Lundberg. Not much other information about her was available, so I have been pursuing the name.
And, of course, Gunwar Lundberg is a fairly uncommon name and I am hoping to rule this Gunwar / Gonner in or out.
Who should I be looking for have nearly 10,000 matches on paternal side.
Many thanks for your try! [/quote As it turns out it was more than a try Received an email this AM from Ancestry with a hint for a shared match with Janice Erntson 3% DNA match. Turns out she is my 3rd cousin. Father Harold Klimpel, Grandmother Gunwar Lundberg with no spouce.
