I may have spoken about this before and since I have been baptised many years ago, I truly believe I am of his DNA, but I wondered about things and researching, I found anomolies.

So, doing a DNA test, confused the heck out of me, one was how both my parents were so very similar with the ancestry. Another was, there was a lady in the small town we lived Mrs Staff, now it seems I am related, via the male, so I ask, when mum stated the woman living across from my grandparents’ house was my true grandmother, what who why… oh and the fact my father always stated he was born in Wagga Wagga, but the facts show he was born in a mother and baby home in Albury. See lies

Another was the amount of German in my ancestry, and finding documentation about my grandmother’s divorce, didn’t know she had been married before or had 3 kids or her maiden name.

But what struck me was her insistence on marriage, but my male parent was born on the 19 and she married on the 23, so she was unwed, also how rich her first husband was, was shocking, but I now understand her expensive furniture.

I have found the document trail is completely different to the DNA result, so I knew my family history would be a challenge for anyone, but boy oh boy it sure is.

Something I wish is this, once you have DNA, that a tree would form on the site for you. Even my challenging one, so it makes more sense, even the cross references or things that do not add up.

There are things that connect me to Royalty, so really thinking of the world me, who really am I. I knew my family had secrets and lies, but boy oh boy
