In high school I found a girl I really liked. My dad found out and told me to quit seeing her. <She might be your sister.>
You might have a chance. Ever see the movie "King Ralph?"

One of my sons looks almost exactly like I do. His son looks almost exactly as he does.
One day, my son took my then 6-year old grandson up to me and said to him, "See Grandpa? That's what you're going to look like when you're old!"
Geez, why traumatize the kid?
There's no such thing as a "Texican" anyway. It's "Texian." And it is very cool to trace your family to the Old Three Hundred!
LOL, they don't need YOUR DNA to do that, they can use you siblings, your cousins, or a multitude of other relatives. Witness the cold case murder that was solved with out the killers DNA, The just narrowed it down to a family then looked at who was where when.
2 cold case murders from 1980s solved with genetic genealogy: Police - ABC News
They want your DNA, they can get it, you leave it everywhere everyday. Health care. Every had a blood draw for a physical, there is enough there for a couple thousand DNA test. Plus, last time my wife and I increase our life insurance policies a blood test was required.
Ancestry.com was created by the LDS Church to further the church's mission of baptizing the dead for profit. After absorbing several other DNA websites/entities, it was sold for $4.7 billion in 2020. You do you . . .
I was working on my laptop and looked up at the TV and saw the news story . The TV was muted and I didn't get all the details . But I saw them swab the Frog and they had some paperwork showing the results . True ? I don't know . Plenty of scam sites out there .
Sigh. Ancestry has never been owned by the Church of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). While the company had been offering free access to Ancestry.com at LDS Family History Centers, that service was terminated on March 17, 2007, because the company and the LDS Church were unable to reach a mutually agreeable licensing agreement. In 2010, Ancestry restored access to its site at Family History Centers.
I've had 3 different DNA tests and there are discrepancies among them like you wouldn't believe.
Oh I dunno... An 11% match to a wealthy Nigerian prince is pretty exciting
I don't want to take a DNA test.
I'm afraid I might fail it.........
tennexplorer said that you failed a urine test, even though you studied all night for it.
My bad. It's FamilySearch, which is a partner with Ancestry in digitizing genealogy records and sharing DNA databases . . .

Our daughter did that DNA thing and discovered her ancestry is exactly what we told her it was.
Her husband did it and found out the man that raised him was not his biological father. It was quite a shock. The SIL did the test and his ancestry was not what he thought. Then he gets an email..."Hi! I'm your Dad".
His biological father had also done the test and they ended up connecting. His bio dad had no other children and now he has grandchildren to boot.
The SIL is totally pissed at his mom as it's clear she knew, and his adopted dad passed away before this mess was all found out. Don't think adopted dad knew as the timeline was fuzzy and SIL thinks what he believes to be his birthday is made up.
Quite the mess, and too much drama.

Two brothers have done the DNA tests. Both show English, Irish and Danish ancestors along with a variance. I shows 2% Native American which we knew came from the Pilgrim descendants. The other shows 2% Jewish.

About 20 years ago a woman came forward claiming that she had been adopted. As a teenager she found out the woman that she thought was her much older sister was actually her mother. But her mother would never tell her who her father was. Until her mother made a deathbed confession and named my father.
Needless to say it raised quite a commotion among my siblings and I. My father was long dead and I sure wasn't about to ask my mother about it. The only thing we knew for sure was that her mother and my dad had worked together in 1960.
Well, fast forward to about two years ago. She did a DNA test. And not only found out who her real father was, but discovered a half brother with the same father, and another half brother with her mom and some other guy. None of which were my dad, thankfully. Her mom never said a word about her half brothers.
Why her mom put the finger on my dad will never be known and there are a lot of possibilities. But I sure wish the common DNA tests were available 20 years ago so myself and my siblings didn't have to go through the whole thing.

I did one a few years back. Didn't show much I wasn't aware of. Scots, English, German, Dutch.
But then, there is the high percentage of Neanderthal and a touch of Ashkenazi Jew, which must have come from waaaay back on the German side. Shocked and proud to see the Ashkenazis were descended from the original 12 tribes.
