Grandpa (83) Discovers Old Family Photo – When He Looks Closer He Gets the Fright of His Life!

Olga was 3, and Willhelm was 1, they were brother and sister. Judy and James were his adopted parents. And his old aunt stated that Olga was his cousin now, remamed Claudia adopted by his Aunt and Uncle and therefore his cousin now.

This is so true.I’m through watching this channel. The stories go on and on and on, and go far too long. Few stories are ever worth that kind of time and effort.

This is such a sad story! Why in the world would they seperate those precious siblings?!!!!! I'm glad that they both found the truth even if was long overdue! God bless them!❤🙏💞

Sorry, I gave up. The telling of the story was taking too long.

How sweet that they finally discovered their true identity and family story before either passed.

The older generation and their secrets!!! It caused so much torment and grief for the ones keeping the secret. How do I know this, because I was a secret. My bio-father's family and my half brother didn't know that I existed, until I contacted them when I was 50 yrs old..

Secrets hurt! Found out at 58 we had another sister. My 5 siblings and I were shocked, mom had just died. She was 48 and been looking for mother all her life. Sad, sad, sad, why the lies?

I understand that the adoptive parents only wanted what was best for the both of them, however, keeping the two of them in the dark about who they really are for their entire lives was WRONG and there is NO EXCUSE for this !!!! They should have been told the truth about all of this many many years ago !!!!!!

The discarded. We found family members in old photos and asked about them. They got in trouble, they were slightly retarded, or had a deformation of some sort. They had a baby out of wedlock They were never seen again in family photos again. They were never mentioned again. They were "removed" from the family. I have hope for genetic testing. We don't "discard" people anymore, not beginning this generation. My father specifically mentioned....regularly....that if I displeased him, I would be discarded. When I actually saw how MANY people they did this to, my blood ran cold. "Extra" female children were also discarded; but in the time I was born, that was not as easy. Did not prevent him from telling me that. I am horrified; and even more bent on meeting those other "discards." Found an unknown half brother on my own. Yes, we grew up within 5 miles of each other. This stuff has got to stop.

Not able to be raised with your sibling is horrible

How can he have a niece if he's an only child?

This family was heroic. ✨ God Bless them for taking care of these desperate orphans. Can't have been easy.

I didn't know who my real Grandmother was until after she was long passed and I was grown. I always wondered why she treated us kids better then the woman that was suppose to be our Grandmother did that was her sister. Family secrets are really a bad idea.

I feel ever one should have their own voice ,thank you for sharing ,I'm happy you both still have each other now know as sister N brother !!!🪶🤍💛❤🖤🪶

People's thinking was so screwed up back in the day! Why on earth would anyone think that was okay to separate and then lie to them clear into their adult lives? Thank God they found out the truth. Very sad story...

I'm too old for all this hoo haw. My parents always said " the dog ran away...the cat ran away..the turtle ( honest) ran away" Nothing straightforward. The truth is best.👍🏼😁

The adults noticed something that was growing emotionally it sounds like in the kids and made their decisions out of love! Bless them.

Very impressive and warming story. Congratulations to both that still life affords time to be together...

Loved this story 🤗

It was not a sad story. It was a wonderful loving story with a awesome ending. The parents seperated them giving them a great chance at life. No one knows what his parents knew about their relationship to cause them to seperate them but i have a feeling that the choice they made was the right one. Each gained a brother and one gained a sister. How much more lucky can you can get then that.
