Okay, my husband's parents cut off all ties to their relatives before he was born, so he only knows his parents and his mom's sister and her family.
His dad was born Potts, and was given up for adoption to an aunt, also named Potts. She married a Strickland, and he took that name. My husband has "Potts" as a third name, but his legal last name is Strickland. The adoptive "parents" (aunt/uncle) abused my father-in-law as a child, and he cut off all ties to them when he grew up.
My mother-in-law was a Harris, her mother was a Kletka. Her parents were drunks, she cut off ties to them for the most part, they've both passed away now.
My husband is kind of confused, wondering what he actually is.
If you were in the situation, who do you think you could feel more drawn to? Do other people have complicated roots that make them track down leads in all direction?
