      Very similar family situation, my dad, his siblings, and all of my cousins got requests on Facebook from an unknown man. He took a DNA test, turned out he was “secretly” adopted by a “catholic” family in Texas. Apparently, my papa knocked up a young lady in New York and her family sent her to an army base in Texas to have the kid and have a family on the base adopt him. It’s been a weird 3 years of my dad learning he’s not the oldest sibling, his dad most likely cheated, the difference between northeast thinking and southern thinking, yet still trying to figure out how to welcome him into the family he always wanted and help him get to know his heritage. IMO, thank goodness both my grandparents have passed because the QUESTIONS. Lastly, it’s entertaining seeing my dad complain about things his “new” older brother does that all of my siblings complain about about my dad😂

    Xan I will tell you that adoption from south korean is so common than you think. My husband is one of them from 1986, last year we found his birth mother and no one in the family knew he existed only his bio grandparents because they forced her to send my husband to adoption for they dont want to bring shame in the family for having a teenage daughter getting pregnant out of wedlock. She told the whole family after recieving the call from the adoption agency that her lost son was looking for her, so we have a big family now. But I will tell you that there are atleast 60.000 korean adoptees in Sweden and they may be related to you, never knows.

    For Zeta - almost all Scottish people have Irish and Scandinavian DNA. Western Scotland was part of the Irish Kingdom of Dalriada, which eventually took over most of what’s now Scotland, South East Scotland was part of the Danelaw, and the North of Scotland was occupied by the Norse - the Northern Isles were a Norwegian Yarldom until the end of the 15th century. So Irish & Scandinavian DNA aren’t a surprise in someone with Scottish ancestry.

    People really don't understand that anything less than 25% probably is beyond the scope of your grandparents. The "cousin" in Norway probably shared a 4x great-grandparent in Korea, so the family lost touch with that branch long before she was adopted.

    There's a slight difference between the genomes of eastern and western Finns, with eastern Finns sharing more genes with Asian, especially Siberian populations.

    My dad has always been into heritage and figuring out our past. Since doing a dna test he has been going even harder to get all documentation possible about our family migrating to the US from Europe. Both my mom and dad are about 98-99% European. From Scandinavian to British to Irish to German to French to Italian to Greek/Balkan to Russian and everything in between. My dads dna can even be dated back to being related to Neanderthals. Good luck y'all with processing the findings and the secrets it can unlock. We forget that just because the generations we know are from certain areas for generations doesnt always mean that they themselves are full bloodedly from that only area. Even our ancestors have pasts they didnt talk about it which has created a beautiful mess of mixed genes.

    Having a stepfamily was never unusual since mortality was higher and people saw marriage as a practical thing, particularly if you already had children, so if for example your wife died in childbirth or your husband from the flu, you would often marry quite soon after. It was difficult for most women to have enough money to raise children on their own and most men needed someone to look after the children and house if not provide additional income.

    Humans have been invading/colonizing for millennia, so most of these aren't surprising.
    Even someone whose family has resided solely in London since the Mayflower sailed could expect to see French, Germanic, and Scandinavian results.
    Except. Sohan's Andean/Mesoamerican input. That's utterly bonkers to me, since it is incredibly rare for indigenous Americans to leave the New World for the Old.

    Ethnicity results from DNA need to be taken with a large pinch of salt. The lower the percentage the more unlikely it is to be correct. My Heritage says I have African, Italian and Scandinavian DNA but neither of my parents do (and yes, they're definitely my parents).
    The real value in these tests are finding matches and working out how you're related and who you're ancestors were. However Ancestry is better for that and they allow you to download your DNA and MyHeritage allow you to upload it, which is what I do. BTW, Hameza's cousin, at 0.3% or around 20cM, is so distant that they might not actually be related at all. They could be 5th cousins which means they share one set of 4th great-grandparents (out of 32 couples).

      The tests do get revised as more tests come in though. Before I did AncestryDNA, I knew for a fact I was 25% Lithuanian because my grandpa was 100% Lithuanian. It came back 17%. Over the past 4 years, the test results came back with the 25% I knew it was. It was just because more people from the Baltic countries submitted more DNA to refine the region.

    I think if we knew more about human migration--all of us--this would not be so surprising. For instance, the Finns and Hungarians came to Europe out of Asia, so for East Asians to find some genetic affinity with Finns is not surprising. If the South Korean person had had European DNA, that would have been a story, and yet . . . . The Korean peninsula has been volatile place historically, too, and Europeans have been there living and working since 1950. Afghanistan has had Europeans involved there for a couple of centuries, so it's not too surprising that someone from that region has European ancestry in some small amount, but additionally, most people don't know much past their grandparents and some not that far. People travel. So, always interesting but never truly shocking are these test results.

    3:50 step children in census data isn't rare - it's very common, especially before women were able to legally make their own decisions without a man (father or husband) controlling everything. Finding parents, siblings & other relatives living with family members is frequently found too. Times are different now, but it wasn't that long ago that Women finally got more freedoms. Remember, it was common for females to be betrothed at a very young age/birth in some places & they were considered marriage/baby making age when they were in their early teens (or whenever they started menstruation). Laws restricting marriage to older ages are fairly new compared to the ways of the world pre 20th century. I have relatives who had to go to a different US state to get married because our state had the 18 year old rule & they were 16 - in the 1960s. For most of history, women generally remarried if their husband died & they had children. One of my great great grandmothers married 6 times - she had several children with her first husband, she had my great grandpa with her next husband & she had a son with the next husband & she remarried without having more kids a few more times. Birth control didn't exist, men weren't all gentle or loving & women didn't always have the choice to prevent pregnancy. Women didn't have very many options to support herself & multiple children, so marriage was the best option. I have found similar females who married multiple times in my research where this also happened. I have even found records of widows having to go to a workhouse & their kids were in workhouses too as she couldn't support them alone. Some indentured servants in North America ended up here because one or both parents died when they were young. There's different traditions & customs in every country - some countries didn't allow widows to remarry (even if the female was married to an old man at a few years old) & widows actually lived in widows' housing from their husband's death. Some cultures believed that a widow was bad luck or being near one had other bad omens. The world has come a long way in the last 100 years!
    It also wasn't very long ago that single mothers (or young mothers) were more likely to be sent away if they became pregnant & they had to give up the child for adoption. Some places had laws promoting secrecy & adoption - some families chose that option for themselves. There's a lot of variables out there that modern DNA tests are unearthing in some families. Sperm donations & IVF throw another wrench in the works.
