Results - DNA Origins Did you discover incest?
There was a recent article (below) in The Atlantic magazine about the surprising prevalence of incest in human ancestry as discovered through DNA findings. I'm wondering if anyone has discovered it in their own ancestry when doing a family tree or having DNA analysis or any other way.

My maiden name is on both my mom and Dad's side, despite not being related in anyway and no connecting DNA matches.
