My MIL was adopted by horrible abusive people at the end of the war in Germany. They were Americans, and brought her here. She was subjected to every kind of abuse there was. Several years ago she got some (likely) cousin matches over there through Ancestry DNA. She contacted them but they claimed they had no idea of anyone in their family giving up a baby. They quickly stopped replying after that first message. It was rather sad for her because she was hoping to connect with family somewhere out there. Because they only answered her question that one time, I tend to think that they might have known of someone doing that and didn’t want to open that discussion up in the family. Or else they simply dismissed it as “I don’t know or care” immediately. Weird. It was sad for her to be so close and yet so far away on an answer to the question “where is my family?” Especially after suffering so much with people who didn’t love her and actively hurt her in every way that they could.
positive one: my parents did an ancestry thing and found that on one side of my family, a good few centuries back, there’s a swedish royal! it was wild to find that out
About 3 years ago, my half sister took an ancestry test for fun, only to find out she had an older brother on her dad's side she never knew about. Apparently he's a pro dancer in NY, and a solid dude.
I'm related to both john adam presidents and Josiah Bartlett. People who signed the declaration of independence. On my great grandma's and great grandpa's sides respectively. When those two got together and had descendants like me that made us descendants to all three of those famous people. Thing is they married in missouri where my family still resides. Funny how two families that had nothing to do with one another, signed this very important piece of paper together and centuries later two people from both sides married far away from the place the paper was signed and had a family tying the two families together again. Life works in mysterious ways sometimes. Love always finds a way.
I'm adopted and have always known. I've never taken an ancestry test but I have met my birth mother and my half brother through the ultimate bonding experience: getting stomped in Quake multiplayer. I know I have a few half sisters too but have never met them.
Yeah me too also adopted but have one biological parent who remarried, so I have two step siblings and one biological sister. I'm annoyed because I can't really discover anything cool because I have my bio family right there.Not complaining but I kinda hoped to discover something cool about myself.
@@AgentSapphire Mabye, but it's not like my bio family is going to be on any systems or anything. I'm going to have to ask them, and they live all the way in Nigeria.
My mom took a DNA test and came back as 99.96% Eastern European Jewish with a map that highlighted a half-dozen countries from the old "Pale of Settlement" and did not elaborate further. We have no idea if our family is Polish or Russian or Ukranian or what because our great grandparents didn't really pass on that info, and DNA tests are kind of useless when you're a couple hundred generations in to a genetic bottleneck lmfaooo
I did a 23 & me kit years back because I wanted to know if there were any possible health issues from my dad's side of the family, they had their fair share of secrets or things that just never got brought up. Well, back in maybe 2022, I got a notification of DNA relatives and looked into them. One of them was labeled a second cousin by their standards and reached out to her to try and figure out who's Kid they were as they were much older than the cousins from that side I was aware of from my dads side of the family. That night I had been talking with my mom about it saying that as far as family tree goes she was placed more like an aunt or someone closer than a second or third cousin would be and we speculated that maybe they were my grandfather's kid. Now a little back story, according to my parents and even my uncle it wasn't uncommon for my grandfather to get drunk and blame my grandmother for various things and had even said "I gave up a life with my daughter for your mother" to my dad and his brother on one occasion. Often, it was chalked up to the ramblings of a drunken bitter man. Cut to a couple weeks later, and she had responded to me asking about (grandfather's name which is the same as my uncle) possibly being her father and told me her birth year. Yall I was in CVS at the time and called my mom immediately and almost had to sit down because I was fucking blown away. She's a June baby, and my uncle is a November baby. They're literally like 6 months to a year and 6 months (I'm blanking on specifics) apart. I don't know if my grandmother even knows about her because there I'm 80% sure her and my grandfather were dating possibly engaged at that point of said aunt's conception. And I sure as hell am not about to ever let it slip just in case. The aunt and I are still in contact to this day and is one of the sweetest people I have every met, she asks about holidays, my hobbies and even my family and we have plans if things work out to meet up so my dad and I can meet our sister/aunt.
I want to do a dna/ancestry test on my mom and her side. It was said my grandmother was Native American, born in 1913, and was abandoned as a baby. A black family found her in a field and raised her. I loved her so much and still regret not going to her funeral. I didnt want to go bc I wanted to remember her how she looked to me, but I never got to say goodbye. On my dad's side, we are Nigerian. I havent gone deeper into it because Im not close to that side. But one day, I will definitely research deeper my mom and her side. Im 38 and come from an older family (my sister closest to me in age is 51), and Im the baby, so a lot of my family pictures and documents are either gone/lost, scattered, etc. Also, one story talked about Lupus. I have it. It skipped all 6 of my siblings and came to me and no one else in my family--cousins, aunts, uncles--has it. So I wanna know why tf I was "chosen" 😭
I hope you get some of the answers you’re looking for! I’m not saying this is the case for your family, but I know in general it’s pretty common for Black American families to have stories about being part Native American when it turns out not to be true (the same thing happened in my family!). IIRC, these sorts of stories started as a way to explain why a family member had light skin. It was less painful and more socially acceptable to say it was bc there was Native American in your family when in reality it was usually bc they were mixed race as the child of a White slave master and Black slave woman
I found out I'm related to a pro golfer and test cricketer and the star of skippy the bush kangaroo as my 2nd cousin and on my mum's side and cornish lords and ladies
I don't look anything like my siblings at all. My parents both died and never said if I was adopted and I have no intention of ever having a DNA test. I'm well in my 50s and I see no point in finding out either way. My partner always knew that he was adopted but his adopted mother begged him to never look for his bio family so he never did. He is near 70 and he sees no point in looking as his parents most likely are long dead and at this point what is the point as they where never in his life before now and all that may do is to cause problems with inheritance with greedy people that was never in his live trying to take his stuff from the people who where in sis life.
3 of my siblings are half and one is full. The 3 are 9+ years older. We all have the same mom. My half brother (R) and his Dad (B) got a call that B had a son he didn't know about. That she raised the child and never bugged him about him. She was dying so she figured it was time. Now my brother has a half brother too. It was awesome.
I find bigamy very interesting, as its basically an Open Relationship, without being an Open Relationship. Its like having a few Favorites. Why choose one, when you can have multiple. I feel this viewpoint is too rarely thought of. Why choose one or the other when you can have both.
Story 4: I'm a female and have a half brother. We have different dads and it's just a case of copy and paste with the two of us. Look just alike, act a lot alike, think a lot alike, it's literally me and baby me. He's now significantly taller than me despite being younger but I still bully him knowing he'd win in a fist fight any day
I may do these tests one of these days but I am nervous. Maybe just one for health, because I did have a relative with a rare cancer. I’m sure that my dad is my dad, but I’m worried there’s other things going on I don’t know about. The topic of DNA tests came up at a small gathering and my mom said she and my aunt agreed to never do a DNA test. I know that their biological father left them, though not how old they were. I don’t want to ask but I assume they don’t want to test because they either don’t know their father’s name (depending on the age they were) or don’t want to find out if they have different fathers. My great uncle’s daughter might be finding things out though. She got a DNA test kit and gave it to my nana (her father’s sister). She claimed it was for her dad but he couldn’t do it because he already had cancer. He’d been dead for months at that point. My nana does not know science so it worked. Apparently they already knew the uncle had a kid outside his marriage. I don’t wanna touch this situation.
I discovered that dispite my skin tone there is very little African in my ansestery. I am mostly native American. I also have a lot of Caribbean, French and Irish. How am I darker skinned.

The medical medium books shed light on what both causes and heals lupus.

19:42 sounds like a similar situation. But oh my gosh. Wild.

I learned i had a first cousin and a uncle that weren't known to the rest of the family and they were on each side of my family
3 of my siblings are half and one is full. The 3 are 9+ years older. We all have the same mom. My half brother (R) and his Dad (B) got a call that B had a son he didn't know about.

I connected with two relatives (a cousin and a half-aunt, on separate occasions). They are both reunited with my family.
i haven't even started the video but i know its gonna be good....oh also i have to do my annoying person duties so first

There is ten more stories of people regretting the dna test at you tuber “be amazed”
we found out alot of interesting things when I did one
