    I took a DNA test about 10 years ago. Recently I received a call from someone saying we were a DNA match for grandmother/granddaughter. Since that couldn’t be true, we discussed other options and the most likely was that I was her aunt. We had a lovely talk. I told her I would check with my four brothers and get back with her. WOW. What a HULLABALOO! Yikes…I was yelled at and accused of ruining the family and destroying reputations. The worst came from the super religious , hate-filled, strict Bible thumping ones! Yes, one was a minister! One of my sisters and I have welcomed this new niece. The rest of the family refuses to acknowledge her and even argues the DNA lab made a mistake. So, yes, the truth eventually comes out and it reveals the true character of certain individuals.

      Oh my! I’m sorry your brothers reacted that way, that’s great you and your sister are welcoming to her!

      Probably was the minister 😝

      If the Daddy isn’t the Minister, it’s probably one of the other males who are hollering, as their conscience is pricking them. 😉

      I know your niece is grateful that you accepted her. I wish more people answered us looking to find out where we come from; we just want to know. Although being accepted as family members is a plus. I can understand some people think it's a scam of some kind, and others are ashamed of the past.

      @ I hope you find your answers along with love and acceptance! The children searching for answers have nothing to be ashamed about; they are the innocent ones in all this! My sister and I are so thankful our new niece has found us!

    I kept asking my parents when I was about 10 and they knew a couple generations so I moved onto other relatives. I think some of us are just geared that way.

    We are having trouble finding my Grandmother's maternal line... we were shielded from that side of the family, and finding information on siblings was colorful, to say the least. If there is a way to help direct us in our search, I would be grateful 😊

      I'm having trouble finding my grandfather on my mother's side, he evidently changed his info depending on where he was and who he was marrying

      everything starts with a dna test. Preferably ancestry, then 23andme. We are happy to help after you get results from ancestry. For a small fee.

    Hi, Angels! I love hearing your client stories.
    Have you ever come across a “chimera” case, where one person has two people’s DNA because there were twins in the womb who merged?

    • @dnangelsorg2544
      @dnangelsorg2544  4 дня назад

      No, but we had a chimera with a cord blood donation. DNA Shocker: How a Stem Cell Transplant Created a False Father Match! ruclips.net/video/LWoNwzu_4os/видео.htmlsi=Uoi0cTqSMZoOvUYg

    I agree things come out with DNA testing. Found out I have a half brother that I thought was my uncle.

    I got started in this, !!!! my grandfather all his life called himself Thomas Smith, he was sent as a teenager from Liverpool to Canada his family were poor but not sure, he never told us anything.
    My mum was called Maureen, her sister Valerie, her brother Robert SMITH.
    Through dna he was born George CROZIER aka Robert, he left Liverpool as a home children 1915, by 1917 he renamed himself THOMAS SMITH
    Dna solved the family secret he was never Thomas Smith

    Great story! I’m brand new to the channel. My dad never knew who his father was. Through DNA I’ve determined he was Irish or mostly Irish. He probably had wavy blond hair. We do know he was a married bus driver in Newark, NJ. I’ve spent years periodically searching with no luck. (We also don’t know who my father’s mother’s parents were!)

      Have you colour coded your closest matches and put aside the ones you already know.

    • @dianemcq64

      @ How do you color code matches? I have both Ancestry and 23andme results.

    Lara, that surname that you mentioned sounds like one in my family. Does it happen to be spelled Rainoldi or some other way?
