Discovering A Paternal Half-brother At 23andme

 I received a message from a relative on 23andme just saying "Hey".  It was from a man named Mclain in Tennessee. I checked out what our relationship is. It says "Half Brother" on my father's side!!!!!!!!!!!! Shared DNA: 24.39%  1815cM  My father Lawrence Nolan Scott that I grew up not knowing had another son 5 years after I was born!!! I grew up not knowing that I have a half brother! I already knew that my father had a daughter before he met my mother. He was born and raised in Oregon like his mother and maternal grandparents were.  I was born and raised in California like my mother, both her parents, and both her paternal grandparents. Our father was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. He had relocated to Los Angeles, California to be with one of his paternal uncles. Then he later lived in my birthplace San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland. He was found dead in Littlerock, California in 1993.  I found out about his death on New Year's Eve 2002/2003
