It was back in 1991 when Jeanine and Mike Harvey went to Dr. Nicholas Spirtos, then the chief of the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Summa Akron City hospital, now Summa Health System, for help conceiving a child.
But that DNA test Harvey Galloway took would reveal a shocking mix-up. Mrs. Harvey’s egg was fertilized not by her husband’s sperm, but by another man, also a patient of Dr. Spirtos, as stated in the lawsuit filed Wednesday in the Court of Common Pleas in Summit County.
Harvey Galloway recently discovered her biological father is not Italian, but part Irish and Welsh.

My German mother once said to my father, “ The children got their stubbornness from your side of the family. “
My Father, not dropping a beat replied, “I would agree as your side of the family still has their stubbornness!”
Spirtos?
I discovered my father’s father was not who we thought, but a man who loved near my grandmother and apparently attacked her one day.
That tree was a telephone pole anyway…
“No one who has invested a mere month of effort in researching his family tree would be surprised by the DNA test findings.” -— For most people, yes. A small percentage, like me, would discover that 25% of his tree was wrong, due to rape.
They have to get a DNA test comparing only father and child DNA.
While the genealogy test is performed as accurately as it can, if you read the white paper of the supplier on how their test works, you’ll see they are correlating submitted DNA to a database of DNA that the supplier believes are associated with certain countries/regions.
This is not the same as comparing the submitted DNA to that of the father. If you compare Dad’s genealogical test to that of the kids, you’re more likely to be “surprised” because of the number of correlations performed.
Using these DNA testing sites is giving your DNA to the government.
These DNA testers have already broken secrecy at the request of law enforcement to find criminals using DNA.
The more DNA samples they have, the more they can track anyone. Even if you did not give a sample, the government can find you by using the samples given by relatives.
How long before DNA is ‘planted’ by the FBI to frame political opponents?
How does a dna home test do any of that?
I discovered last week that Kamala’s paternal grandmother was:
Beryl Christie Finnegan
Dreadful, another one.
I remember back in the 70s when they novel, "Roots," came out and the miniseries followed. It spawned a whole new interest in genealogy. I remember a priest at our church was giving a sermon and quipped that, "Now people are spending a lot of time and effort to uncover their family's past, and once they do, many end up spending even more time and effort trying to cover it back up!"
Siberians migrated to Peru.
Some of them also went west to the Baltic region. So, yes, eastern Europeans can have the “Peruvian” DNA.
Ah, yes. She was. Thanks!!!!
She was over 6 ft tall, white skin and blonde hair. Her adoptive family was olive skinned and shorter of stature.
among other things such as solving old cold case crimes, these DNA tests have revealed to people how much infidelity went on in their families. Its more than I think many suspected.......
These home DNA tests are of limited accuracy, I don’t think they should qualify as proof in court.
I'm well aware of the migration of Siberians to / settlement of the New World, etc. - but the way this is then portrayed by ancestry.com as "Congratulations! You're 16% Peruvian!" is a complete joke, and angers me.
It is utterly misleading and probably has a political motivation.
Regards,
The family here has definitely gotten a forensic lab to confirm the findings (else how would they have identified the true biological father?).
Regards,
Have you tried looking for your grandmother on the 1910 US census? It should tell you what her family thought her age was in 1910.
The Q haplogroup of Y-DNA is extremely common in indigenous populations of the New World—in some cases over 90% of the men. It is found in Siberia and is very rare in Europe (but found in a couple of families I am descended from—not my direct paternal line). I don’t think that would help me learn Quechua.
I probably should but she died long before anyone ever thought about the Internet much less Ancestry.com, but since her birth was never recorded, there is no guarantee it’s accurate on the census, she always knew what she was told her birthday was, like said she had no birth certificate.
Most people today can’t fathom living the way people did in 1906 Florida in the middle of the woods, farming and trying to feed your family.
They all break into a goose-step sooner or later. Especially so during "the change."
