The Truth May Come Out with DNA Tests

Last week, I saw a video on my recommendations feed. Of course, this intrigued me because the topic was about DNA. We all have seen the DNA testing commercials and the excitement they can bring to many people, but that isn't always the case. Over the years, the popularity of DNA tests has exploded. People have become interested in learning about their ancestry and where they came from. There is another thing about DNA tests-they can reveal family secrets. You probably have seen articles, videos, and even books about the effect on people's lives of DNA testing. This may change the way someone thinks about themselves and or their identity. In the theoretical example, "Sally" took a DNA test as well as her immediate family. 6 weeks later, she checked her results, all her family matched her, but Sally's sister didn't share enough DNA to be considered as a full sibling. Sally's mother tells her that sh...

Is Rose her Mother?

Currently, I am researching and trying to prove that Rose Mott is my great-grandmother’s mother.  This matters because  my great-grandmother, Clara, was adopted by her paternal aunt. I don’t know yet if it was legal, but in addition to that, her brothers were put in an orphanage. In a life story, she wrote about herself and what she knew about her paternal ancestry -but she made no mention of her mother. This makes me assume that she did not know who her biological mother was, or at least her name. Otherwise, I think she would have included her as she did with the other ancestral names. With all that said, it’s challenging to find direct evidence so far to definitively prove their mother-daughter relationship, but I’ve actually made major progress this year, which I’ll share more about in future posts. To get back in the swing of researching this question, I decided to revisit my process. So the first thing I did was review what I have or what I know. From there ,  I crea...
