Hi just joined.

Post by Attenoke24 »

Hi I’ve just joined the site as after my parents, husband and daughter did DNA tests, I found out that the person who I’ve been calling Dad is not related in any way to me.Shocked would be a good way to explain how I feel. The situation is complicated my parents are both 96.
So my problems are:
I don’t know if my Dad is aware.
My mother is not a reliable source of information.
I currently appear to have loads more American cousins than English.
I’m so confused and I need help.

welcome to the forum

if their 96 i would leave it not worth the upset try to get your mother to tell, get her to tell you stories of when she was young and growing up use a digital recorder to record them, names may pop up to help your research and you will always have a digital recording try uploading your DNA to gedmatch.com what site is your DNA on now?

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
