I took a DNA test yesterday and got 0% Irish when my mom is supposed to be half Irish from her fully Irish father. She is definitely my mother, and he is definitely her father-the resemblance is extremely strong. So now I'm wondering if something happened with my grandpa at birth as well. He was born in 1910. I want to ask her things, like did your dad look like his siblings, his parents, but I also don't want to destroy her life. I may buy her a test to see what she gets first.L.

Congratulations for persistent determination to solve this head-scratching mystery. Several of my family members (and I) connect to you and your siblings through DNA, and that makes me feel a personal attachment to this remarkable tale. So far it is evident that we connect through your maternal lineage (and our paternal lineage), yet the suggested kinship is distant enough that we may never identify that common ancestor. Who knows though, the challenge may one day surprise us.<br /><br />Gerrigeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250198516925861141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-43988020498434216682015-03-02T11:06:40.662-08:002015-03-02T11:06:40.662-08:00What an unbelievable story!
