Finding Family at 31 ft. Tess Griffin

Joining Bridget on this episode is fellow Ballaratian and podcaster Tess Griffin, who lost her father to suicide when she was just three years old. Tess' dad never knew his own biological father but 28 years on, Tess found him and it's all thanks to an ancestry DNA test! Hear Tess share how an Emmy-winning TV series inspired her to take the test, what the process actually entails, what it was like meeting her grandfather, Barry, for the first time and more. Seriously, there is SO much more to this story that will pull at your heart strings in more ways than one, big thanks to Tess for being so generous in sharing her story!
