Siblings Reunited After 65 Years – Thanks To Facebook (VIDEO)

Thanks to Facebook and a 7-year-old boy. Two siblings were reunited after 65 years of being apart. Betty Billadeau and her brother, Clifford Boyson were separated when Betty was 5 years old and Clifford was 3, after they were sent to different foster homes. They have not seen each other after that.

Then came 7-year-old boy, Eddie Hanzelin, Boyson’s landlord’s son. The boy wanted to help Boyson find her sister and used Facebook to search for her. Using his mother’s Facebook account, Eddie got to work.

“I went on Facebook and I typed in Boyson. There were a whole bunch of pictures that showed up. One of them kind of looked like Clifford and I zoomed in on it and it started to really look like Clifford, [so] I showed it to my mom and dad.”

Eddie’s father, Glenn Hanzelin, contacted Billadeau’s daughter over Facebook and arranged the reunion.

And for the fist time in 65 years, the siblings hugged each other at a hotel near Boyson’s home in Davenport, Iowa.
