If "We are all one", as the spiritual leaders say...let it begin with our sperm donor family and all of it's connections...
According to John Doe Donor, Dr. Trythall had about 16 donors he used. We are starting to find more of them and some of the connections between them. It is a very confusing web of connections, easiest to explain with a diagram.
Donor A is our half-sibling group, Hank Heemsoth is the donor, and at this point we have 41 DNA-confirmed half-siblings. Individuals below, on the same line, grew up together in the same family (each in a different color), i.e. their families were given multiple sperm donors. (I'll use M for male and F for female.) Our donor, HH, did lawn and handyman work for Dr. Trythall. Another donor, RR, was his driver. Three of these donors are Lithuanian (B, C, E). Group C are all very tall. One group member said they think they had the Monday donor. An article about the history of donor insemination recommended to physicians to use 3 different donors every other day during the woman's fertile time. We're not sure what Dr. Trythall's theories or practicalities were for selecting donors, other than it was common practice to match the physical characteristics of the donor to the social father.

I have met individuals in groups B and C. One of them (from group C) introduced herself as my half-brother's half-sister's half-sister.
Confused? No kidding!! And this is just the beginning, the tip of the iceberg. These are only the people that have done DNA testing and have found each other, so far...
