Woman abandoned as baby in UK uses stamp to track DNA

DNA from a 30-year-old postage stamp enabled a woman known as the “Blackberry Bush Baby” to identify her biological father.

Anthea Ring, now an 81-year-old grandmother, was nine months old when she was abandoned on a hillside in southern England, in August 1937.

She was found by a family walking over the South Downs. She was hidden deep in a blackberry bush.
