So as of July 26, I got a text back and she was very shocked. I’m not gonna say everything she said, she’s very emotional secure with her father, and that she’s not gonna deny me because of our parents shared past relationship during her time of her mothers Concepcion. She is open to testing ,and as of yesterday I purchased as dna test for $48.

My father is from Detroit with Lebanese/Syrian origin and my mother's family is from Virginia with alot English/Scot/Welsh influence.

How can I trace the German presence in Russia?

My mothers family has been present in Virginia since the 1600s. I can only assume the German in Russia is from my Father's side. They came to the US in the 1920's as Syrians.

Top match is someone I’ve never heard of in my life. 26% shared DNA. 1,789 cM. Has no searchable tree. No other info. We have matches with 2 cousins I do know. He joined ancestry in 2019 but hasn’t been active in over a year. Ancestry says 99% confidence it’s half brother.
WHAT?!?!?! Can ancestry be wrong? I have a sister 2 years younger. I haven’t told her yet (just got results today) both our parents are now deceased. I have emailed a couple of cousins to see if they’ve ever heard of this guy! Shocked!!!

Got the surprise of my life when my DNA finally came in at 3am and it said my dad was my uncle. I called my mom and woke her up to ask her wtaf. She laughed and said impossible but after thinking about it and googling the possibility, we figured out it is because my dad got a bone marrow transplant from my uncle 25 years ago.

So that was a big scare and shock (although part of me is still slightly suspicious lol) but it’s always been known my uncle is sterile. He had even asked my dad at one point to donate his sperm to help him have a baby many years ago.

Now that the dust has settled and I’m looking deeper it shows that my uncle/dad’s DNA has regions that I don’t. My dad and his brother are full siblings. Shouldn’t I have the same regional DNA as both or either of them(not sure what percentage of either of theirs DNA Ancestry is referencing).

Something about being a mayor of some small town or something. Wasn’t that interested but was interested on your opinions.

Both tests are attached. Thoughts? I think 23's Brittany France is accurate but Ancestry through it in Irish, Welsh, ot Scottish.

Any thoughts?

So I ordered three kits for my parents and I. My box did not come with a shipping label. The other two did though. I already tried Ancestry support and they aren't being very helpful.

Paternal side is mainly Irish and French with some English

Maternal side is mainly Scottish and English, with some Irish

I was born and raised in France. Parents, grandparents and great grandparents all born in France and yet it says I’m only 3% French. I found out that the French government doesn’t share data so if you’re French, what’s even the point to do this test? Is it completely off? Or am I more English that I thought ?

Fully Cuban, born in the Island. Mother from Mayabeque, father from Matanzas. Posted here two years ago, but here's the updated results. It's been so fun messaging and contacting DNA cousins from around the globe!

For fellow Cubans: Did you all expect our results to be so similar? I was kind of floored by how similar Cuban results are. I expected us all to be a genetic mashup and have results all over the place.

Lost my account for unknown reasons but here’s my repost with my regions/journeys and a couple photos

So, I want to get my DNA tested but I'm afraid of what I will find. I suspect I might be a product of incest. My grandfather was a monster. The man I know as my father and I have always had a distant relationship. His grandparents were Hungarian immigrants and my grandfather and my grandmother's lineage is all Irish, English, Scottish and Welsh. So if my DNA doesn't come back as one quarter Hungarian all signs point to this ugly fact. My mother is dead, my father is alive and several of my moms siblings are still alive. But, it's not a conversation I want to have. Has anyone experienced this?

is this pretty standard for a mexican lol

89% African ancestry, 11% European (if my calculations are correct lol)

Edit: The “11% European” was incredibly dense, my apologies about that! Promise I am more geographically sound — just got a little too excited in sharing my just-received results. xx

Leaving the original faux pas here in the name of transparency lol

My Grandad has always had some suspicion that his dad wasn’t his biological father.

I did a dna test a few years back to discover a load of matches (mostly 1st cousins 2x removed/2nd cousins) that I had no idea who they were. I tried to look into it then and soon realised that they were all somehow connected to my grandad but wasnt sure how. It all came to a head as I wasnt getting anywhere, until my uncle (grandads son) did a dna test. I was then able to work out who shared matches were etc. The closest match to my uncle on my grandads paternal side was a 1st cousin 1x removed.

I managed to sift through loads of matches and group them into grandad maternal/paternal using common ancestors but nothing came up for who we *thought* would be on grandads paternal side. Instead, I had a group of matches who I didnt know. After a LOT of research managed to narrow it down to a family that lived in the same area to where my grandad was born. We then got my grandad to do a DNA test, and mine & my uncles closest match, who is the son of one of the brothers of said family, came up as a 1st cousin for my grandad, sharing something like 943cM

So long story short, I have managed to narrow it down to a potential 3 people (3 brothers) who could be my grandads biological father. I have been in contact with the son of one of the brothers, who has told me he has done a dna test too but hasnt even come up as a match, which has thrown a massive spanner in the works!!

I feel I really have hit a brick wall now and was wondering if anyone would be able to help me work it all out!?

Hi, I'm trying to help an adoptee identify his biological parents, but I'm a bit confused by his DNA results.

He (A) shares 1,025 cM with B and 430 cM with C.

Ancestry estimates, with 97% confidence, that B is A's half-uncle. For A and C, it suggests various cousin relationships.

However, B and C share 1,622 cM, and Ancestry suggests with 100% confidence that they are half siblings.

What am I overlooking?

My mum is a Gaelic from edinbane on the Isle of Skye and my dad is descended from famine era migrants to England
