In this Aug. 27, 2017 photo, from left, siblings Deniece Saylor, Doris Wilkins, Rex Johnsen, Mary Jane Shofner and Dot Jackson at their first family gathering after discovering their long lost connection with Johnsen in Lincoln, Ill. For 29 years, the four sisters wondered about the identity of their older brother, who was given up for adoption before they were born. The mystery was solved after a Logan County judge opened the adoption record, dating back to 1953, and united Johnsen, of Princeton, Ill., with the family he didn't know he had in Lincoln.
