Paula Colville, 60, has uncovered a hidden family history after taking a DNA test to find her long-lost father, Billy Elson Lawson. Raised in secrecy by her mother, Elizabeth, Paula learned very little about her father due to Elizabeth's reluctance to discuss him. Upon taking the DNA test, Paula connected with half-siblings in the U.S. and discovered Lawson's past as an undercover mafia informant in New York City, which led to his fleeing the state after a life-threatening incident. Her search has provided both answers and insights into her family's complex legacy.
My mum was never forthcoming with any information about my father, she made it very clear that I was a bitter reminder of the man she loved and lost.
So, when my mum was at work, I went through the entire White Pages to try and find him. Of course, I didn't find him because his name had already changed at that point.
