Finding Her Family
The Long Lost Family team uses DNA databases to track down family members. In Kathleen’s case, her birth mother was found 3,500 miles away in Canada. Her mother’s name is also Kathleen. Not only did Kathleen discover who her birth mother was through this process, but she also discovered the large family she never knew she had.

Kathleen learned that she had an older half-sister named Jean Thompson. Jean is just four years older than Kathleen. Both women were given up for adoption by their mother, Kathleen Sr. when they were babies. Kathleen Jr. and Jean got to meet each other, their birth mother and their Canadian half-siblings Alison and Graham on the show.
