Have you ever taken a DNA test. Like from Ancestry DNA and found something or someone you didn’t expect?

Yes. Most of my background was as I suspected, but I was surprised to find a strong link to Scandinavia. I have been doing genealogical research for 30 years and haven't uncovered anyone from there. Some of my cousins from there have been identified through DNA, but I have no idea how we link.

It’s really interesting! My mom is really into genealogy as well so I took a test just to help her get more connections on my dads side and low and behold my dad has a brother we never knew about! My grandma put him up for adoption@exexec

@TwistofFate1978 That really is interesting! One man contacted me. He and I share great-great-grandfathers, but he is adopted and doesn't know how we connect between now and the early 1800's.
