Guy in our family cheated and had a kid with the woman. Found out 75 years later through the DNA test.
Guy was a traveling salesman so mystery child was hundreds of miles away.

Plus side of me and my brother doing the test...My bro is actually my bro. Mom and dad kept it 100.
Downside was seeing you had family out there you never knew existed. The answers for which/how you probably don’t want to know lol.
So unless you really want to find out this stuff, I’d just leave it alone. Ignorance can really be bliss.

I bet a lot of people were crapping themselves when DNA testing came out.

Not from those results. 2+1+1+<1 does not equal 5-8%
So the real estimate is 0-8%. I provided 5% as a baseline because of the displayed %.
Here are the expanded Ethnicity Estimates for each:
3+2+1+2=8

A friend of mine had a Korean Mom and white Dad. She took a DNA testing and found out she was 100% Korean. Turns out the Dad married the Mom when she was pregnant and they never told her until she took the test at 28. Not the biggest of secrets, but it did shake her up pretty well about being lied to her whole life.

I'm pretty sure it's easy to tell when someone is 100% Korean vs. 50% Korean/50% white.

She's also married to a white guy and her kids look just like her, despite being 1/2 white, 1/2 Korean, so it must not be that easy. Unless, maybe she is lying to the kids too

Yeah me. Always knew I was adopted. Never cared. Parents that raised me were my parents. As kids started getting older, they wanted to know my health and origins. Did Ancestry.com. For years it was like 3rd cousin type matches. Then one day I got a very high match, "half sibling" match. Then another. Both on the dad side. I asked some questions and got some answers.
Then eventually petitioned the court in my home county to see if they'd agree with the State to open up the original birth records. Wasn't actually much on the original birth certificate. Mother had put down a fake name. No father listed. Without Ancestry.com, there'd have been nothing more you could have done.
Eventually matched with a 1st cousin and he'd been doing research and believe his dad had sisters, one of which was my mom. Some potential sibling matches on the mother side were found and the State contacted them to see if they'd be interested in talking. My half sister did and we started corresponding.
Long story short, Birth Dad met Birth Mom while in the Airforce in NY, where yours truly was conceived. Mom shipped off to FL later to deliver. I have 2 sisters and a brother on the Dad side. German and Polish descent. Have a sister and brother on the mom side. Syrian and Welsh descent. Both parents have been dead for years.
Not sure Dad ever knew I was born but he apparently suspected. Mom kept the secret to the grave but often alluded to herself as "the black sheep" of the family. Can't imagine ever having a child and not knowing what happened to them. The guilt must have been tremendous all those years.
The siblings on the Dad side don't seem to be interested in corresponding. The sister on the mother side is a wonderful person, so the wife (no pics) and I will probably go visit her and her family later in the year.
Now at least know my background, have pictures etc. First time I've told this story on the internet, but for the O-T, it just seemed fitting.

France does not allow private DNA kits to be sold there, so the French gene pool is very under represented in all ethnicity estimates. Ancestry groups England and NW Europe together and that includes what they estimate would be French DNA if it were more accurately represented in their sampling pool. (I learned this from very informative FB groups that teach about DNA genealogy). There are quite a few countries that don’t allow the sale of these kits, with France being the one with the largest gap in the gene pool.
I believe I am descended from two different Norman French knights but no French ethnicity estimate results, presumably because of this. Of course, that was a thousand years ago and obviously many English people would have Norman and Breton ancestry.

Man my shite is boring as hell compared to you:
My 23andMe specifies two regions of Germany (North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse at 27.4% French & German) and I’m also 0.5% North African and 0.4% Sub-Saharan African. That’s about as exciting as it gets.

I was involved as a child in a stepparent adoption. Decades later, I at least wanted to see my adoption petition and anything else that might be interesting in the file. A local judge in the city where it took place was extremely helpful in getting me the information I wanted.
There were no real surprises but I at least now have this plus a copy of my biological father’s death certificate with his cause of death. I can’t thank that judge enough for the compassion she showed me.

That's a great story. In Florida, you can contact the state and they'll share certain non-confidential items. You can't go in saying you want to know who your birth parents are because that's not a reason (go figure and unfair to adopted children, but..). I was looking for medical history. I had the altered birth certificate. The original one wasn't much different, only "the birth mother" (and she put a false name on it anyway). At least I have it and know my origins. Funny how I never cared until I went full bore trying to get answers. Without Ancestry, never would have ever happened.
