I do not want to have my DNA run as to ancestry. I am afraid the tales about my great grandparents might be true.
ROFL that is scary.
I have read stories where siblings/children are found that were previously unknown the the family. Awkward.

I have a situation where it seems that the man I always thought (through family stories) was my great-grandfather does not actually exist. This man was recorded in one census, and no place else. My grandfather's birth certificate was issued to his mother when he was 20 years old, and so does not verify that his father is actually the person his mother claimed. My dear great-grandmother, as I like to say, had the morals of an alley cat.
I've thought about researching some of the people that the DNA test says are related to me, but who have no common ancestors on their family trees. Perhaps if I look at their trees and extrapolate from those, I can figure out who my great-grandfather was.
