Have you or anyone you know been surprised by the results of commercial DNA test (please read details)

Asked by Strauss (23637points) June 18th, 2021

Recently I discovered I have a biological daughter I never knew about, along with a 10 year old granddaughter!

(TL/DR) Do you think this is becoming more common as the “free-love” generation ages?

A grand-niece sent in a DNA test. What she found about her (our) heritage was not surprising. What was surprising is the fact that there was a direct descendant of my parents, born in 1987 in a town where I was living at the time. It didn’t take much further investigation to confirm that she is, in fact, my daughter. She also has a 10 year old daughter.
My wife and I have three other children who are non-biologically related to us. The news was received well.
