History Form: Fill & Download for Free

I am guessing you haven't actually read the syllabus properly. Medieval and Ancient History topics exist only for prelims. Only Modern history forms a part of the mains course. That is why no questions from those sections in mains. Some questions from those portions may come for art and culture, but not as actual history topics.

I was adopted over 60 years ago as a 1 month old infant. A few years ago Illinois changed it’s records laws and I was able to get my birth father’s first name and my birth mother’s last name. Not enough to close the circle. Then my birth father and I independently took AncestryDNA tests. That gave me his last name. He was prominent in the community and his home phone was listed.I called the number, said I was Dave Ptasnik from Seattle, that I was doing genealogical research, and thought it was possible we were related. He invited me to go on, so I asked him about some things I had researched about his past. There is hiding from the internet. Including if his name was Earl Bryant Anderson and if he dated a woman named Doore at so and so high school in the summer of 1956. “Oh, you mean Judy” (HA! Gotcha mom.) I said that she was indeed the one I meant, and that I was probably his and Judy’s son. His first reaction was that Judy had dated a lot of other guys (nice, dad. Throw mom under the bus and go into denial mode) Then I explained that he was a 100% match from a DNA test. That it was just like they do on Maury Povich or Jerry Springer.I said that I was open to more contact, but would really appreciate family health information so I could give my doctors some relevant information. The call ended cordially. I sent off the family health history form to him and his two surviving children. One child had died in a traffic accident years ago. Seems I still have a half brother and half sister on his side. I did not receive any of the forms back. I did, however receive a threatening letter from his lawyer ordering me to never contact him, any of his family, or pretty much anyone else in the lower 48 states again. So that’s how my birth dad reacted.On to my birth mother, Judith Anne Doore. Same drill with the phone call. When I said I believed I was her son by Earl she quietly said “I don’t want to have this conversation.” and hung up. I have one half brother and two half sisters on Judy’s side. I sent Judy and all my half siblings an explanation letter and medical history forms. No forms returned. Thanks mom. That is her reaction.My reaction? Feeling particularly fortunate to have been adopted by my awesome parents Tom and Betty Ptasnik.The story may not be complete. This past year I have had a meningioma brain tumor removed, as well as pre-cancerous intestinal polyps. All of that can run in families. I am going to send all of them a warning that they should get checked out if they are having any neurological symptoms (I was warned by losing my sense of smell), or haven’t had routine colon screening. I will also send them family health forms again to try to find out what other little surprises may be waiting for me.Cheers

China needs friends. Thanks to its long history, form of government, and some unfortunate policy making China has managed to alienate countries in East/ Southeast Asia and Europe. The Indian subcontinent belongs to India. North and South America belong mostly to the US and Brazil. The Middle East is a big muddled mess they'd rather America and Europe get bogged down in. So where can China get some client states? Africa and Central Asia! And so they have. It's good for China and Africa.
