Some armchair genealogists are learning more than they expected to as they research their family trees.
Vietnam veteran Bob Nore submitted a DNA sample to a registry to trace his roots. The registry found Nore had fathered a son whose name is Son Vo. Last year, Bob Nore, a Vietnam War veteran in Huntsville, Ala., was working on a family tree and wanted to trace his ancestors’ history and origins. So he sent a vial of saliva and $89 to a DNA registry for analysis.
The implications are wide-reaching. For adoptees, birthparents, children of single mothers with unknown fathers, and fathers unaware that they had a child, the answers to lifelong questions or the revelations of closely guarded secrets may now pop up in inboxes without warning. The technology can raise privacy concerns and lead to emotional complications."There's complex baggage that goes with it," said Jennifer Utley, a family historian with AncestryDNA, the registry Nore used.
“They’ve got this huge sign: ‘It’s a Boy!’ ” Reed said of the airport meeting. “It was wonderful to see, but it was overwhelming.” “I’m sort of poking around the website and I see the DNA relatives tab,” said Scovel, 53, a woodworker, actor and celebrant in Fort Collins, Colo. “There was one woman listed on there as a probable first cousin.”The woman was not only welcoming, but she had stunning news: The family had been hoping to find him.Scovel’s sibling hunch was right — he was one of 12 likely children of the same mother, 10 of whom had been placed for adoption.
“We say, ‘Think about what you put on social media, and don’t put the same thing in your profile. . . . The Internet has changed a lot of things.”
