Re: Concerning Insist?

"signing up for 23andMe can result in very embarrassing situations for people you don't even know."

Embarrassing and sometimes disastrous. Signing up for 23andMe can satisfy curiosity about origins and ancestors, but you could be playing with fire.
I know of a woman who signed up and found out that who she thought was her father was not. DNA samples didn't match. Her mom had an affair which produced a daughter. Once "studzy" found out his "mistress" was pregnant, he left town never to be seen again.
The daughter tracked him down thru 23andMe to find out that he died 20 years ago in Maine.
She never knew her natural father. She was raised by her natural mother and "father". They are both dead now. I wonder if he ever knew that the daughter he raised was not his child?
So signing up for 23andMe can open up a huge can or worms, to say the least. Proceed with caution.
