Wait til you find out you have a brother you never know you had. Three years ago, my sister found a half brother we had no knowledge of. The guy is 73 years old. Evidentley my dad was fooling around with a girl and got her pregnant a few years before he married my mom. The shocker is, the girl he got pregnant is still alive, in her 90's. My dad passed away 20 yers ago, he may or may not have known the girl was pregnant.

I have three brothers that don't know I'm their brother and I actually grew up with them and stayed at their house once in awhile.So I know my dad knew but I don't know if he ever told them and he has passed.Oh well, I'll let sleeping dogs lay.

A relative did a big family search and sent it to all of us. I don't know her or how she found me?! Anyway my younger brother (passed) had a son none of us knew about.

From a DNA test,you can find out lots of info.Years ago I received family papers and photos of a 5th great grandmother that is Native American. I have had three DNA tests and none show any NA ancestry. More research !!!!!!!!!

Genealogy has many twists and turns!
My Great Uncle's father was first married at 17. 54 years and 3 wives later, he fathered his 17th child at 71! :O My Great Uncle!!!!

My Great-Great Grandmother was a prostitute in Cambridge, England in 1815 when my Great Grandfather was born.

I know guys who have more than one wife. It is allowed in their culture in country if they can afford it. Their advice to me, marry sisters. Also, do not bring them to this country, as we have divorce laws.

I literally was approached by a woman who was sure my grandfather did the same thing. She was sure he was her grandfather too.

I had to explain the genetics made it just as possible for my great aunt's husband's brother could have been the daddy too.
