Something similar happened in Ex's family. Ex took the genetic test and started pushing everyone he knew to do the same. He persuaded his sister to take the test -- and found out that she didn't have the same genetic makeup. Based on her results and family history, she didn't have the same father that her brothers had.
She was devastated, and everyone who could explain had died a long time ago.
I may dig deeper into ancestry.com's database, but I have no interest in the saliva test.
Timelies all!
I have signed up to get a COVID-19 test(the nasal swab test) tomorrow at work. They've been pushing for all employees to do it, so I am.

Were you basing this just on the ethnicity estimates, or on the amount of DNA shared between the two of them?
My dad's middle brother was his half brother. It was an open secret. But still weird.
I found out my sixteen year old kid can do a spot on Ben Shapiro imitation. And he is hilarious. My kid, not Shapiro.
Agreed with Hil. I was just talking to a nurse who was a genetics expert who had a patient think this, but they had done testing with his sister (he was a bone marrow recipient and she was the donor) and they were really misreading the results.
My half neice came up my cousin on 23 and Me as well. Which sort of makes sense.
On the other hand, my uncle, who I always suspected had a different father because of looks matched me completely as an uncle.

A combination of the two, I think. The paternal grandparents had immigrated from Italy. Ex's results showed that his DNA was almost half Italian. Sister's results showed no Italian, but quite a bit of Scandinavian that wasn't in Ex's DNA.
It's anxiety attack Tuesday, apparently. How are you all doing?

I was literally just about to post that my anxiety has shot through the goddamn roof today.
WOOHOO! or something. sisters in anxiety.
Completely related to my anxiety, cross-referencing excel spreadsheets on a single laptop screen on a deadline for your big boss is NOT IDEAL.
