An Icelandic surname testifies baldly to paternity: father's aboriginal name with the suffix -sson or -dottir. Among her bodies in Reykjavik, the war helpmate was accepted as Ragna Esther Sigurdardottir. The affable babe was 13 aback her mother died. Her ancestor anon remarried and had added children.

Even admitting Esther had wed in secret, her ancestor afterwards threw the accepted affair at home. Her ancestors begged Esther to adjournment her departure, she was so young, this was so sudden. And while Larry was affable and shy, her ancestor worried. Esther artlessly said she was Larry's wife now. She would cantankerous an ocean and a abstemious to be with him.

She promised to write. They let her go.

Months anesthetized until the aboriginal letter arrived, anachronous May 18, 1946.

Dear father, I am apprehensive why I don't get belletrist from you. I accept accounting you 6 belletrist and 2 wires.

Maybe you accept alone me, or I accept done article wrong, so you accept to be angry?

If I accept done article wrong, can you amuse absolve me?

I am so far abroad from you and appetite so hardly to get some account from you and my brothers and sister.

Dear father, I am your babe and will consistently be, maybe I accept been a bad daughter.

I will never balloon you while I am alive, I am so sorry; I never get a letter from you.

Seventeen added months went by afterwards a chat from Esther. The abutting letter agitated a photograph of her alfresco a abode with a brick chase and a alpine shrub. She holds her babyish son, Raymond Leslie. The letter's date is Oct. 13, 1947.

My babyish father, I am so blessed to get a letter from you, but I don't accept why I don't get added belletrist from you, you acquaint me you accept beatific 6 letters, I alone got 2.

This is my address. It is the new abode Larry gave to me afterwards the bearing of our son. I told you in the aftermost letter I had a son.

You asked me in the aftermost letter, how things are activity amid me and Larry, we accept been afar for 4 months now, he came and asked me to absolve him, he said he didn't accept why he does such things. I adulation Larry a lot and that will be bigger for the babyish to breach together, we are blessed now, you don't accept to be afraid.

Larry has consistently capital to accept a admirable home and admirable boy; you don't accept to be abashed that he will do "it" again. He asked me to ask you if you can apprehend English, if he writes to you.

You are a grandfathering in America; it will be abundant if you could accommodated your grandson.

I accelerate you some photos; I achievement you accept got those I accelerate you before.

Be in the safe easily of God,

It is your admiring babe Esther (and Larry & Raymond)

That was the aftermost chat from Mrs. Emerson Gavin to the bodies who knew and admired Ragna Esther Sigurdardottir. All of her father's belletrist came aback to him. Activity to America himself was prohibitive; in the years appropriate afterwards Apple War II, buzz account was not universal, and calls were expensive. Sigurdur Petur Isholm Klemenzson spent the blow of his activity gluttonous bodies in his country and in Portland who could attending for Esther. All the advice was by mail.

He died a burst man in a 1970 abode fire, bequeathing his brood the abstruseness of Esther.

Nearly a millennium ago, Iceland gave apple abstract the sagas and the Eddas, the aboriginal book and balladry of Odin and Thor, ability and magicians, giants and tricksters, all with absorbing kinfolk. The epics allege of activity on a agitable island affecting the Arctic Circle that continued ago bred a able people.

Today's citizenry of 320,000 is about bisected that of Portland's, and best Icelanders are distantly related. A ancestors adventure is a association experience. For 60 years and three generations, the ancestors of Ragna Esther Sigurdardottir Gavin wrote capacity to the abstruseness of her dematerialization in Portland.

But the chase was difficult assignment from center about the world. Her brothers and sister took over from their father, but their efforts went nowhere. A breach came in 1993, aback Esther's brother Kristinn Sigurdsson prodded the Icelandic Admiral to look. That chase unearthed a 1985 obituary in The Oregonian for Esther's mother-in-law, Florence Gavin, the bleak attendance in the bi-weekly photograph of the war bride's arrival.

The admiral approved for the survivors. Larry Gavin eluded contact. His brother, Bill Gavin of Portland, was accessible at first. At the abutting buzz call, he resisted questions, said he hadn't apparent Larry for years. A third alarm begin he had afflicted his number.

Over time, Kristinn Sigurdsson assassin two clandestine investigators. He paid 50,000 krona, about $400, to a criminologist in, of all places, West Virginia. Still no Esther.

But those searches had at atomic accepted that Esther and Larry divorced, in 1951. In Reykjavik, her ancestors advised the abominable capacity of the Multnomah County Circuit Cloister file, including the adumbration that at the end of her alliance of beneath than bristles years, Esther had a son and a daughter.

***

In her annulment suit, Esther said Larry "has been accusable of a advance of the greatest animality adjoin her apprehension her activity as his wife a accountability in that time and again, he has set aloft and actual baffled her, hospitalizing her the fifth of July 1951 and aloft her absolution afresh advance her afterwards any affront and aggressive to annihilate her."

With Esther not able to affliction for the accouchement and Larry answerable with assault, the hospital abiding for Raymond, 4, and his sister, Donita, 13 months, to breach at the Waverly Babyish Home.

Pioneers founded Waverly in 1888 to affliction for Oregon Aisle orphans. In 1931, the home confused to a new, absorbing brick architecture on Southeast Woodward Artery and 35th Place; the governor's wife abounding the opening. Waverly's mission broadcast to affliction for alone and abject children. Many of its accuse were eventually adopted.

Even afterwards Esther got out of the hospital, a adolescent cloister adjustment kept her accouchement in the babyish home. But Esther aimed to get them aback at her annulment trial, Dec. 5, 1951, at the Multnomah County Courthouse afore Adjudicator Donald E. Long.

Larry did not appearance up. But Esther took the attestant angle to affirm that aback she had recovered from the July beating, Larry put a gun to her aback and affected her to bead the bent charges. She had assemblage to his afterlife threats.

Judge Continued asked, "Is your bloom acceptable now?"

"No," Esther replied, "I am absolutely nervous."

But she was already rebuilding. She now formed at the White Stag Clothing Co., and she aggregate an accommodation with a woman who could affliction for Raymond and Donita while Esther was on the job.

Long said the Waverly Babyish Home had appear that the parents rarely visited. Esther objected: "I accept apparent them every week, and I buy them whatever I can."

The adjudicator accepted the divorce. He ordered Larry to pay $100 a ages in support, about $870 today. He gave Esther abounding aegis and directed her to the adolescent cloister to aggregate her children.

***

Exactly one ages afterwards his divorce, Larry Gavin, by afresh 27, went to Seattle to ally Patsy Huson, 18, a brood of Jesse Applegate, who blazed the southern aisle to Oregon. This additional alliance lasted best than the first, and it was alike added agitated for this wife and their bristles children. He thrashed his boys, and he advised it his assignment as a ancestor to admit his girls sexually.

Melissa Gavin was 8 aback her ancestor asked for a aback rub that led to incest. Her adolescence ran on connected terror, and secrets abounded. Larry never mentioned accepting a mother, or a brother, or anything.

Yet aloof as unpredictably, Larry could be a charmer, a storyteller, a abundant dad sometimes. He accomplished his kids how to angle and to bulb a garden. One Christmas, the Gavin accouchement animate to bristles aboriginal bicycles beneath the tree.

Larry did a lot of jobs: carrying milk, active a barter for The Oregonian, alike programming aboriginal computers. But he couldn't authority one for long, and he generally rousted Patsy and the kids at 2 a.m. to leave for some undetermined destination. Melissa counted up once: nine brand schools, six aerial schools.

Larry could abandon for canicule at a time, but it was worse aback he came home, generally in a rage, and he would exhausted his wife until covered in her blood. Patsy Gavin larboard him a thousand times, it seemed, but she consistently went aback for her accouchement to accept a father.

When, at age 12, Melissa heard her ancestor ask her little sister for a aback rub, she could booty it no added and begin the adventuresomeness to acquaint her mother. In lieu of bent charges, Larry went for a brainy appraisal at the Oregon State Hospital in Salem. He was advised and released.

Patsy assuredly afar Larry in 1970 and acclimatized in Vancouver. Melissa advised her mother a savior. Larry went on to a third marriage, eventually a fourth. Melissa saw him one Christmas but backward abroad from him.

The secrets seeped out. In October 1985, Patsy appear to her accouchement that their ancestor did accept a mother, she had aloof died and the ancestors was activity to her burial the abutting day. Larry did not attend. His brother Bill and his ancestors came, the aboriginal time Melissa had heard of them.

Melissa stumbled into adulthood. She affiliated and afar twice, had three children.

She formed for years in aliment service, alike endemic a abode in Camas, but it went out of business and into bankruptcy. She had addicted memories of her 10 years disposed bar and tables at Wilfs at Union Station, the abode to affair for Portland money of a Simon Benson vintage.

She nursed her mother until Patsy died in 1997. She cares for her mother's horses to this day.

She met a nice man, and they confused into a bright, ample abode in Vancouver that she abounding with stability, ancestors dinners, anniversary celebrations.

On Christmas night 2008, she accomplished charwoman up and sat at her computer for abandoned surfing. She anticipation of her father. She typed his name, and in a blink appeared a buzz cardinal in Jacksonville, Fla.

Living a retiree's activity in the sun. She anticipation about that actuality for two months.

Then she dialed the number. Larry's added answered and said he anesthetized abroad the ages before.

Melissa afraid up. Relief, giddiness, flowed. He was done. Dead. She could lock up the nightmares and airing in freedom. She tended to her family, her horses, her home. Melissa begin some peace.

More than a year went by. Afresh a able genealogist in Portland alleged and said she was animate with a ancestors in Iceland. She capital to apperceive what Melissa could say about her father's aboriginal marriage.

Esther's ancestors in Iceland pursued every accessible avenue. One effort, in 2003, elicited a letter from the Southwest Hall Artery appointment of advocate Les Swanson, afresh honorary delegate of Iceland in Portland, who appear that a chase was unsuccessful.

In 2009, Esther's nephew Gudjon Bjarnason Isholm assassin a able genealogist in Portland, Peggy Baldwin, whose aboriginal footfall was to acquisition Larry Gavin or his family. Aback Larry's babe Melissa steadied herself from the shock of Baldwin's catechism -- a aboriginal marriage? -- she said she bare time to allocution with her family.

Another of Dad's secrets. Aloof cerebration about it afflicted up abhorrent dreams or insomnia.

Melissa's brothers and sisters had no abstraction Dad had been affiliated before, either. Patsy, their mom, was dead. But Patsy's sister, Margie O'Rourke, knew the name Esther.

Long ago, Aunt Margie said, the newlywed Patsy answered the buzz one day and begin herself talking to a woman who said she was Larry's aboriginal wife, Esther. She pleaded for money to get the two accouchement from her alliance out of a babyish home. If not, Larry and Patsy bare to affirmation the children. A abashed Patsy delivered the bulletin to Larry. They got in a fight, afresh he larboard angry.

Several canicule later, he alternate and said Patsy never had to anguish about Esther or those accouchement again, they had been taken affliction of.

Esther was 23. She was not heard from again.

***

After audition Aunt Margie's story, Melissa played out the scenario: Esther allegation accept been angry. How cartel he go on with a new wife and bung her and the accouchement aside. Maybe Esther was alike aggravating to acquaint Patsy.

For canicule and nights at a stretch, Melissa typed her memories, now in abounding apostasy adjoin their exile. Larry allurement for a aback rub. Larry atrociously advance Patsy, the agitation apparent in his face that he would kill, afresh seeing his bristles accouchement staring at him, stopping, walking to his car and active away. Melissa put her memories in book anatomy and alleged it "Web of Shadows."

When the able researcher in Portland followed up in 2010, Melissa relayed what she now knew about her father's aboriginal marriage. She said if Esther's ancestors capital to talk, she was willing.

Christmas passed, 2011 arrived. Aboriginal on Jan. 5, Ralph Painter, the admired badge arch of the Columbia County boondocks of Rainier, went to investigate a prowler at a car-stereo store. Painter confronted a adolescent man; in their struggle, Painter absent ascendancy of his weapon, and the prowler fatally attempt Painter in the head.

Charged with first-degree annihilation was Daniel Butts, 22, of Kalama -- Melissa Gavin's nephew, her sister's son.

A adjudicator beatific Butts for a brainy appraisal at the Oregon State Hospital, about 40 years afterwards his grandfather, Larry Gavin, had been advised there. The abutting four months anesthetized in a becloud as the latest ancestors crisis bedeviled Melissa's life.

Then at the end of April, Melissa best up her campanology telephone. Iceland was calling.

Some experts attending at the all-around bread-and-butter crisis and pin it, at atomic in part, on Iceland.

A decade ago, beneath Prime Minister David Oddsson, Iceland's three civic banks went private, afresh took on massive debt.

The bread-and-butter and seismic agitation abominably ashamed Icelanders, by attributes modest, thrifty and harmonious. Afresh on April 24, Easter Sunday, Icelandic television told the nation a ancestors story... of the war helpmate Ragna Esther Sigurdardottir activity to a abode in America alleged Portland, Oregon, area she became a mother afresh disappeared, conceivably due to abhorrent play.

That's aback Melissa answered her buzz to allocution with Herdis Elisabet Kristinsdottir, Esther's niece.

***

Herdis and her longtime accomplice animate in Reykjavik with their two adolescent children. She works as a specialist in the accounts administration of an allowance company. Like best Icelanders, she is chatty in English. She loves New York.

Her ancestor was Esther's brother Kristinn Sigurdsson, and all her life, Herdis had watched him barrage chase afterwards search. Aback he died, Herdis affiliated the mystery. She feared the annal of the aboriginal searches were destroyed in the abode blaze that asleep Esther's father. Now, Herdis acquainted an coercion to columnist on: Esther's sister, Dagny, is 91, and her two half-brothers are 78 and 64.

Herdis told Melissa that the adventure on Icelandic television led to a deluge of offers to help... alike from the sister of David Oddsson. Tears active bottomward her face, Melissa promised Herdis: I will accompany you.

Herdis emailed all the advice she had collected, and Melissa backward up backward reading, thinking, crying, allocation the cardboard into archival order, filing it in three-ring binders, cross-referencing...

Then the above prime minister's sister accomplished out to Melissa.

The abstruseness absorbed Lilly Valgerdur Oddsdottir. Affiliated with four children, Lilly Valgerdur had formed as a secretary for 20 years in Reykjavik Burghal Hall. She had already broke an ancestor database accepted with Icelanders to acquisition that she and Ragna Esther were sixth cousins.

She additionally contacted The Oregonian, suggesting a aftereffect to the 1946 accession of the war helpmate from Iceland.

One night at home, Melissa addled through her files and chock-full at that bi-weekly photograph. She abiding out the 1947 snapshot of the new mother captivation her babyish son. Ancillary by side, the photographs batten to the Larry Gavin effect. In beneath than two years, her adorableness had been wrecked. Larboard eye blackened, teeth broken, button adenoids smashed.

Melissa reread Esther's two belletrist that ached with loneliness, allurement her ancestor not to be affronted and to accelerate chat of her sister and brothers. Melissa absitively Esther got alone two belletrist from home because Larry intercepted her mail.

To attending for Esther's children, Melissa contacted the Administration of Human Services, which had taken over the duties of the Waverly Babyish Home. The brick architecture on Southeast Woodward Artery and 35th Abode has been bankrupt for four years. A DHS official said the administration had Raymond's files but not Donita's, and anyway, Melissa was not advantaged to see them.

She approved the cold-case assemblage of the Portland police. Retired Detective Dennis Baker was affectionate but said the case was clumsily old.

Melissa accustomed her assumption and alleged Bill Gavin in Northeast Portland. He said he hadn't apparent his brother aback 1950. Don't alarm again.

She remembered from that burial that Bill and his wife, Barbara, had three children, and she tracked bottomward the beforehand daughter, her cousin. They had not announced aback they active Grandma, and Karen Gavin was acquisitive to meet.

At Shari's in Troutdale, in a berth with Melissa over coffee, Karen said the adventure in her ancestors was that her father, Bill, was the artefact of the alliance of E.C. and Florence Gavin. But aback that brace had married, Florence was already abundant with Larry by addition man. Larry grew up demography a lot of abuse.

Karen additionally remembered ancient in the aboriginal 1990s a alarm came to her parents' abode from Donita, gluttonous advice about her bearing mother and father. Karen's mother told her no one was absorbed and afraid up.

After two hours, the cousins were exhausted out. In Shari's parking lot, they hugged tightly.

In September, Melissa wrote to Herdis, Esther's niece, that she was out of ideas. Her abundance was that Raymond and Donita did not abound up Gavin: "They were advantageous that Larry did not get his easily on them as he did with all of us."

Through the search, Melissa had appear to realize, too, that accustomed Larry's brutality, her mother allegation accept accepted what was activity on with the aback rubs that weren't aback rubs ... but her mother couldn't action back.

***

In aboriginal October, Lilly Valgerdur Oddsdottir was at her home thinking, again, of Esther... the abashment she allegation accept felt, her accomplished American dream collapsing, alliance over, accouchement gone.

Her own parents afar in her childhood, and Lilly Valgerdur spent four months in a Reykjavik children's home. Aback she was reunited with her ancestor and brother, 12-year-old David promised his little sister that one day he would breach the abode down.

David Oddsson began his political acceleration as ambassador of Reykjavik, and during his tenure, he had the children's home demolished.

Staring into her computer screen, Lilly Valgerdur searched for the agreement "Waverly Babyish Home" and "secret records."

She got an Oregon Supreme Cloister cardinal from 1958.

She apprehend it already and accomplished anon what she had. Two canicule later, Herdis wrote Melissa with the accountable band "VERY IMPORTANT": "Lilly begin on the internet for us this case."

Melissa apprehend the cloister ruling, but she didn't get it. She didn't see it. She told Lilly Valgerdur it was unrealistic -- it can't be true. Lilly Valgerdur pushed, apprehend it again! The names, circumstances, dates bout up.

Melissa apprehend the cardinal three or four added times. Afresh a arctic came over her.

Could it be?

Is it possible?

The cloister cardinal told the abutting affiliate in the adventure of the war bride.

On Sept. 24, 1958, the Oregon Supreme Cloister disqualified on an acceptance gone bad.

The adoptive parents were Jeanne and Benson Allen of Portland. He was the grandson of timberman, philanthropist and Portland burghal ancestor Simon Benson, who congenital the Benson Hotel, able Benson Polytechnic Aerial School and installed the Benson Bubblers on burghal artery corners to action animate bodies a auspicious another to spirits.

Already the parents of one adopted daughter, the Allens took in a brother and sister who by 1953 had been in the Waverly Babyish Home two years. The Allens anon apparent the babe was "mentally deficient" and that Waverly admiral had withheld the information. They sued the home for putting the babe up for acceptance alike admitting the bearing mother had not surrendered her affectionate rights.

The Supreme Cloister absitively no law accustomed the breaking of the acceptance contract. If anyone had a appropriate to sue, the majority assessment said, it was the bearing mother.

The Oregonian appear an Associated Columnist celerity from Salem about the accommodation involving arresting bounded citizens in a blowzy case.

***

Melissa Gavin reread the cloister accommodation into the night, aberrant facts that were new to her with the ones she had.

The war helpmate from Iceland, Esther, affiliated Larry Gavin, and they had two children, Raymond and Donita. As Esther was convalescent from a advance at the easily of Larry, the accouchement went into the babyish home. Esther and Larry afar in December 1951, and that was the aftermost trace of Esther -- until Lilly Valgerdur Oddsdottir begin Allen v. Allen.

The Supreme Cloister accommodation said that on Jan. 31, 1952, Esther went to Multnomah County adolescent cloister to accost her children. But she could not pay the $40 fee for Waverly's care. So the adolescent cloister fabricated Raymond and Donita wards of the court, "so to abide until they access at acknowledged age." The accouchement were to breach in the babyish home until a adjudicator absitively otherwise.

Esther formed at one of Portland's bigger employers, White Stag Clothing Co., and had a roof over her head, adolescent affliction and a cloister adjustment for abounding custody, and still her accouchement were taken from her.

As she advised the ruling, Melissa could account what happened afterwards that... Esther calling Patsy... Patsy cogent Larry... Larry award Esther and authoritative acceptable on his threats...

On Oct. 20, 1953, the babyish home asked the adolescent cloister to accomplish Raymond and Donita accessible for adoption. The ancestor had that day active his consent. The mother, on the added hand, had not been heard from in added than a year. Two belletrist to her were returned.

By Christmas, the Allens had brought the accouchement into their Eastmoreland home. By spring, they accomplished the adoption. Raymond Leslie Gavin, 7, became Robert Benson Allen. Donita Gavin, 3, became Debra Jeanne Allen.

Over time, the Allens begin Debra's problems insurmountable at home, and they got a cloister adjustment committing Debra to the Fairview Home in Salem, area Oregon institutionalized the mentally deficient.

Justice Gordon Sloan wrote the 4-1 majority cardinal and said the aggregation had affected over a bind that would accept challenged Solomon.

"We accept continued our analysis able-bodied above that independent in the briefs of the parties in an endeavor to acquisition every autograph that could afford some ablaze on the appropriate of adoptive parents to accuse their obligation aback abrupt costs and deficiencies occur."

Sloan absitively the babyish home did accept acknowledged aegis of Debra through the Jan. 31, 1952, adjustment that took the accouchement from their mother and fabricated them wards of the court.

Justice George Rossman offered a eyes out of Dickens: "Since the accustomed parents are not parties to this proceeding, they would not be apprenticed by the aftereffect of this suit, and thereupon Debra would accept absent not alone her adoptive parents but additionally her accustomed parents. Thus an eight-year-old babe would be casting afloat in the apple afterwards home or parents. Surely no cloister in a affable acreage would ability a cessation of that kind."

Now that Melissa Gavin and the Icelanders knew these were Esther's children, the bright catechism became: Area are they?

In the Icelandic sagas of gods and kings and heroes, Odin dispatches the Valkyries to ambit the battlefield and buck the blue-blooded asleep to Valhalla. In America, we accord their names to roads. U.S. 30 from St. Helens to Rainier now is Badge Arch Ralph Painter Memorial Highway.

Melissa Gavin met with the advocate arresting her nephew, Daniel Butts, adjoin the allegation of murdering the Rainier badge chief. The nephew's brainy affliction and any ancestors history would be an issue, so the advocate ordered Larry Gavin's annal from his breach at the Oregon State Hospital, 40 years earlier.

But the advocate capital to ample in some gaps, so Melissa started talking -- the war helpmate from Iceland, the bedmate who exhausted her, two accouchement surrendered to the Waverly Babyish Home, the dematerialization of Ragna Esther Sigurdardottir. Two-and-a-half hours later, that lawyer's aperture was blind open.

***

In mid-October, Lilly Valgerdur Oddsdottir apparent that Jeanne and Benson Allen, who had adopted the war bride's children, had afar in the aboriginal 1960s, and Benson had remarried. Lilly Valgerdur, researching the dematerialization from her home in Iceland, additionally begin a 2008 obituary in The Oregonian for Jeanne Allen. Melissa apprehend it and acquainted sick.

"During Apple War II, Benson and Jeanne lived in Victorville, California, and afresh alternate to Portland and lived in Eastmoreland. They adopted three children, Patricia, Robert and Debra. Debra preceded Jeanne in death."

Melissa cried. Abhorrent abundant that Debra was gone. But the obituary had jarred article abroad in her memory.

She had accepted Benson Allen.

Two or three times a anniversary in the backward 1970s until his afterlife in 1983, Benson Allen and his additional wife dined at Wilfs in Union Station. Melissa frequently served them; they consistently larboard huge tips. One night, Benson Allen had asked Melissa whether she had a sister; she looked for all the apple like his adopted daughter.

***

A few computer keystrokes aftermost ages amid Robert Benson Allen in Oregon City.

Melissa capital to jump in her car, chase bottomward there and bandy her accoutrements about him, but she didn't appetite to attending like addition absent a handout. If this is Esther's son, she knew he bare time to blot it all. A letter would be better, balmy and welcoming, to annul the accession Donita had accustomed continued ago, that the ancestors wasn't interested.

But she wondered: What if he's like Larry? What if he's psychotic, atrocious and mean?

She slept on it. In the ablaze of morning, she absitively that what mattered was that Esther's son is alive.

At her computer, she typed 800 words, ending: I apperceive you allegation accept a lot of questions and I feel we accept the answers you seek.

Melissa amid a letter to Robert from Iceland.

You and your sister accept consistently been in our minds and hearts. You are our ancestors and consistently will be. Esther was actual adolescent aback she confused from that little country in the north, Iceland, to America... and became a wife and mother. Esther admired her accouchement actual abundant and it break our affection to apperceive that she wasn't able to accumulate you.

Esther's sister was so acutely blessed aback we told her the account that we had assuredly begin you. She told me that you will consistently be acceptable to appointment your ancestors in Iceland. She was actual sad admitting aback I told her that Debra had anesthetized away. Balmy commendations from Esther's ancestors in Iceland, Herdis Elisabet Kristinsdottir. I am on Facebook.

Melissa slipped the belletrist into an envelope and wrote her aftermost name in ample belletrist in the acknowledgment address. Robert was six aback he larboard the Waverly Babyish Home, old abundant that about 60 years afterwards he would bethink GAVIN. She alone it in the mail.

The abutting afternoon, Melissa answered her buzz and heard a man's voice: I accept I am your brother.

***

Herdis, Esther's niece, alleged Robert Benson Allen; alike Lilly Valgerdur Oddsdottir alleged him. Esther's ancestors beatific Robert a book and a DVD about Iceland and a box of Icelandic chocolate. And they beatific the admired account of a appreciative mother captivation her son for the camera alfresco a Portland abode with a brick chase and a alpine shrub.

Melissa didn't appetite to advance herself on Robert, so they talked by buzz aback he acquainted up to it. He said he'd been married, had four accouchement and some grandchildren; they animate in California. He had been a metal architect and a administrator at a shipyard. He admired his motorcycle, rode it everywhere. Ten years ago, he was addled by a arrest driver, and now he was disabled. Things weren't consistently easy. Friends came by the abode to analysis on him.

Robert said his aftermost anamnesis of his mother is watching her apple-polish as Larry captivated a knife over her. He grew up assertive he had witnessed her murder.

Robert said Debra did go to the Fairview Home, lived there for decades and died of affliction in 1999. He had no pictures of her. He had few reminders of his youth; activity as an Allen was difficult and sad.

Melissa alone hints that she capital to meet, and Robert said that would be abundant but he wasn't able-bodied and not accessible for guests and he couldn't say aback he'd be able. He did ask her to acquaint the association aback in Iceland that the chocolates were delicious.

The Oregonian asked Robert for an interview, and he declined, saying, "I aloof got the shock of my life."

Herdis replied, "We are all so blessed that he is our Raymond, accord him a Big Hug from all of us."

Melissa heard from her accessory Karen. Her father, Bill Gavin, continued a widower, was able-bodied into his 80s, and Karen now faced the assignment of activity through his belongings. Who knows what we may find?
