My Father, Charles Campbell Sheppard Jr (b. 20 Jul 1946 - d. 25 Feb 2013) was born in Lowell, Mass. to Dorothy (Ramsey) Jacques. He was adopted by Charles and Georgianna Sheppard of Lowell, Mass. at birth. My father knew he was adopted. He was told that his father was a Sheppard and that his adoptive parents were his biological grandparents. in 2019, DNA results showed that the Sheppard cousins and aunts do not match me or my siblings.
We are DNA matches with our fathers bio maternal family. I am interested in, and have been searching through DNA for my father's paternal branch. I have DNA tested with Ancestry, 23andMe, My Heritage and I have uploaded to GEDmatch, FTDNA and Living DNA. Family history has been a hobby of mine since 2006. It has just recently gotten much more interesting

P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.
One of our mentors created a tutorial for the GEDCOMpare process that others found very helpful. I hope that you will too.

Thank you for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.
Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.
The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.
To get the best results, continue adding sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to ancestors already in WikiTree. If you have exhausted what you know on one line, it can sometimes help to add what you know on another line. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.
Let me know if you have any questions and have fun!

Adoptees: How to Set Up Your Profile is a WikiTree help page specifically designed for new members who indicate they are adoptees. It is also helpful for non-adopted members who have living adoptees in their family tree. The page includes links to more resources, like our Adoption Angels Project, basic search techniques, information on DNA, etc.
Let me know if you have any questions!
