BIDDEFORD, Maine - Two co-workers who learned this summer that they are long-lost brothers and who reunited this week with their two half sisters - one of whom is from Sarasota - have a new surprise. A half brother has surfaced.

George Pomeroy of Biddeford, Maine, told WCSH-TV on Thursday that he shares a father with Randy Joubert and Gary Nisbet. He said the men lived with his family as youngsters before they were taken by the state and adopted by different families about 35 years ago.
Joubert told The Associated Press that Pomeroy presented documents that prove their relationship. He said Pomeroy was the last sibling on his "search list," so any others who might come forward will be more closely scrutinized.

Nisbet spent seven years as a furniture mover for a local bedding retailer when he was joined by a new colleague, Joubert, who looked so much like him that customers asked whether they were brothers. After checking their original birth certificates, they realized they were.

The co-worker brothers share a mother with the women; the sisters aren't related to Pomeroy.

The siblings have plans to get together soon and likely will share a Thanksgiving meal, Joubert said.
