Well that was interesting

A couple of years ( maybe more now) back, I did my DNA test, because I was doing my genealogy and trying to figure out who my father was. I expected the results to tell me my ethnic breakdown and all that, but what I didn't expect to find out is

"This analysis indicates that your parents are probably related."

When I first found that out, I kinda freaked out a little. I mean, I had all kinds of questions, like how closely related and such. At the time, they had no way to determine that, but today I ran the results again, and this is the info they have now.🙂

I know who my father is, figured that out through DNA matches a couple of years ago. Now, I just have to figure out how my mother and father are related in my tree. Both family lines were in Pennsylvania, Germany, and England during the same time periods, so this could be fun, not.

I always wanted to know my full family tree. My mother was well versed in the genealogy process, in fact she did work for other people just by the lineage of the grandmother. Fascinating world we live in
