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.
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!
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?
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
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!)

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

How awesome that you were able to find him. And all the pictures to boot! ❤❤❤
The magazine cover photo was the best find!
Aaah I loved this "origin" story. Thank you so much for sharing how you got your start x
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful story.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
How wonderful that you were able to find out information about your husband’s grandfather!
Yes, we were so grateful to be able to help him uncover the truth!

I spent 1 semester at Indiana State University of PA on National Student Exchange.
That's cool!
I agree things come out with DNA testing. Found out I have a half brother that I thought was my uncle.
Late discovery adoption? Tell us more.
@dnangelsorg2544 No, mother raped by her grandfather at 12 yrs old. Had my half-brother at 13.
Mother was raped by her grandfather @ 12 yrs old, had my half-brother at 13.
Mom was 12 yrs old. Grandfather ****** her. She had half-brother at 13.
Indiana, Pennsylvania had me confused for years!

Have you colour coded your closest matches and put aside the ones you already know.
@ How do you color code matches? I have both Ancestry and 23andme results.
We are more than happy to help for a small service fee. Parents are free. Missing grandparents are a small charge.
Lara, that surname that you mentioned sounds like one in my family. Does it happen to be spelled Rainoldi or some other way?
awaiting her reply
I had to check that the RUclips speed was normal, she speaks like 1.5 speed.
We will never please everyone. Thank you for your feedback.
Do you guys research 2X great-grandparents or only up to great-grandparents?
We can go back 5-6 generations with DNA
