Herbert Woodrow TANNER and Clara Odell HOLLAND were my paternal grandparents whom I discovered in 2018 at the age of 50. I had to take DNA tests through Ancestry and 23andMe to discover who my biological father was and these were his parents.

Please note, that I think that if Ancestry is having a special sale it does not give you my additional discount, but I am not positive. Just watch for that. If that is the case, just go out and back in without using my link.)
