I took a DNA test at AncestryDNA for the fun of it. The results changed my view of myself in the world. Instead of my father being the son of Irish immigrants, we now know he was the son of an Ashkenazi Jewish couple, we don't know how or where he was disassociated from his biological parents, but we believe it was shortly after birth.

My discovery of this unknown heritage has been confirmed through multiple family members taking autosomal DNA tests, including my father's nephew, who shares no genetic relationship to my siblings or myself. A brother has taken a 111 marker Y-DNA which also confirms the discovery.
