Man, 33, Meets Father, Half-Siblings, and Grandparents for the First Time Thanks to MyHeritage DNA
Growing up, MyHeritage user Kevin Williams always wished to have a father. It was a DNA upload to MyHeritage — and a helping hand from MyHeritage Founder and CEO Gilad Japhet — that finally cracked the case for him.
After months of dead ends, I used the power of social media to try and break through the walls. I was not expecting what happened next. The CEO of MyHeritage saw the post and decided to help. He found an alternative way of making contact. This was absolutely mind-blowing!
