“Our phone has been ringing off the hook, I would say we have received between 600 and 700 calls,” Genealogy researcher, Harvey Morse told the Daily Mail. “They run the gamut, literally from ”We lived in the same area so we must be related“, to ”We have pictures of Prince at our family reunion."
Prince is survived by no known children, one full sibling—Tyka Nelson—and several half-siblings.
Mayte Garcia is one of two ex-wives of the singer and was the mother of Prince’s only known son, Boy Gregory. The infant died from Pfeiffer syndrome, a rare birth defect that affects the skull, shortly after his birth in 1996.
In a statement after the death of Prince, Garcia mentioned their son in a statement to People Magazine.
“I loved him then, I love him now and will love him eternally,” she said. “He is with our son now.”
