Dozens of people were conceived from the same Queensland sperm donor. Now two half-sisters hope to unravel their ‘family’ secret
Alexandra Eccles and Lyndal Bubke were conceived from ‘Donor 59’. But the information available to them is scant – and they want that to change
Every six months or so, Alexandra Eccles discovers a new half-sibling. The Ancestry.com family tree icon pings as another person is drawn into the knowledge that half of their life is a lie. After more than two decades, Eccles believes she has 32 siblings and counting. Some are as old as 32, others are in their teens. Best guess is that she’ll end up with more than 100.
They were conceived at the Queensland Fertility Group or its offshoot clinics from the sperm of a man only identified as “Donor 59”.
