Manitoba woman flies to N.S. to meet half-brother after DNA match
Description
July 22, 2022
A 74-year-old woman made her way from Winnipeg to Halifax last night to meet her half-brother, who she discovered last year through Ancestry.com. She didn't know he existed until she had a new close DNA match. The families had an emotional reunion, and Amber Fryday was there to capture it all.
