Ancestry/Genealogy

And the interesting...or even shocking...family secrets that could be uncovered! Or mysteries started that may never be solved.

It never occurs to me that a little bit of extramarital fooling around could have taken place long ago, throwing off everything we think we know about our heritage.

Well, not so much for me (as far as I know), but for a cousin. We share a grandmother, but not a grandfather. Her dad looks so much like my dad, though (they were half brothers), and has a lot of the same paternal features that I'm suspecting that my dad's brother might really have been my dad's uncle's son...that is, my grandfather's brother's son.

Everyone involved in that is dead, so we'll never know...
