Learning Your True Identity DNA Test
Have you ever wondered where exactly your roots would take you? Do you know what your real heritage is? Learning your true Identity can be both explosive and bring great comfort in knowing. Its amazing what happens to a person once they learn their real biological history and DNA. Finding that last piece of the puzzle somehow helps us to move on and get on with life. If your anxious and can wait no longer scroll down to the bottom of this page to learn how you can find out.
I was born an Irish girl with two sisters and three older brothers, or so I was told. In fact I looked different from my brothers, they were male no doubt but something was just bang off enough that strangers, family members and friends alike would always ask if I was adopted. Now I know what your thinking that’s not a question you just don’t come out and ask someone and yet the difference was so obvious that people just couldn’t keep their mouths shut.
There were my sisters as well, the three of us standing together had one major distraction and that was me. My Mum always said there was a fine line between black and red when it came to Irish folks.
What she meant was of course hair color. It did go beyond the hair, I just looked different. It would be some years later before I ever got the slightest bit of the truth and was it ever a dewsy.
Learning Your True Identity DNA Test
This was the topic for much conversation about that cute lil red head. People would comment, what beautiful hair, where did she get the red hair and the questions were as natural to me childhood as, hello.
My Mum was a good Irish women who kept her secrets. Her response to any questioning on the matter would receive the reply don’t be silly you are your father’s child.
To make a long story short it was never pursued further until attending college. My older siblings had gotten VA benefits as my Dad was a military man. Coming up in a big Irish family as did I you needed all the financial help you could get. So as it went I applied and was caught off guard on day by a rejection from financial aid.
When I went to the office to inquire about this obvious error, I was told I didn’t qualify as there was no documentation of me being my fathers legal child. How you ask, a deep dark secret emerged from that. At the time of my birth me Mum and Dad were not legally married and Me Dad did not sign the birth certificate.
This fact pressed ever so deeply within the heart of this lil red head. I was given no truthful explanation other than I was loved no less than the rest of me siblings. Oh and there was the story about all the records of my birth being lost in a move… just mine.
Learning Your True Identity DNA Test
A few years down the long and winding road of my unknowing I was watching a program one day about genealogy. I learned how your DNA could be tested to determine the exact origin of your culture. So, I had it done. Yes you guessed it, I was not my fathers child yet that of a Scotsman living just a wee bit from where I grew up.
So as it turns I am my Irish Mums child yet not my Irish Dad’s. I in fact am Scottish Irish or more commonly know as Scotch-Irish.
So me, Mums secret was out of the bag and I’ve never been more relieved to know the truth. It matters not to me how this came to be, it’s really none of my business. My Mom and Dad’s worked that out between them and I will never change the course of history. But I now know my medical background and have had many a vital question answered.
The bitterest sweet bit to this tale is that my Irish Dad died suddenly of a heart attack before I learned the truth of my biological father. Today there is an easy and painless way to determine your true identity if you will. I’ve learned a great deal sense about me Scottish Heritage and traditions.
It’s good to finally know the truth because the doubt that beats within the chest of unknowing has been silenced. Us folks with something a wee bit different about us find comfort in the truth as it finally quiets that annoying beating drum sounding the message, who am I?
Much Love and Happiness, Katie
Katie, thank you for sharing your experiences about discovering your origins. You sound very balanced and are so positive about the discovery. Did your mother fill you in on the person involved, once you determined it must have been a Scotsman? I assume the DNA test cannot determine who the exact individual was, without being given DNA samples of possible fathers.
Yes, she did and an aunt as well. It all came full circle. This is what I know, its more important who I am as I am who I am due to my experiences and love of people in general. I could never expect anything of anyone as it is only them who knows their real experiences which has brought them along in their life. People are such amazing and wonderful creatures. I enjoy getting to know people and their unique qualities. Thanks for reading and sharing this experience with me. Katie 🙂
Aya, I should add he happened to be in the same data base and or DNA service I used and we both included allowing our matches to be shared. We both learned we were a match to each other given the service. It was a very exciting moment in time. 🙂
Hey Katie.
Thank your for your posting. I am writing to ask something.
The DNA picture you used in this posting, can I share that?
Sure feel free to use the image 🙂 Katiem2
