A man has been left heartbroken after ‘destroying’ his parents’ 33-year marriage with a discounted DNA testing kit. He ordered two DNA kits – one for him and the other for his dad – because the website was selling them off at almost half the price.
Having always been interested in genealogy, the son was excited to learn about his ‘ancestry composition’ – and compare it with his friends who have taken similar tests. Taking to Reddit, he said: “I ordered myself and my dad a kit when they were on sale and we received our results a couple of days ago.
“My mother has never really been interested in genealogy or DNA stuff so I didn’t tell her about it. The first thing my dad and I did was compare our ancestry composition and I noticed it was a bit… off to say the least.
“He is highly British and Irish (most strongly connected to the UK) with a small bit of French and German. I am mostly Scandinavian (most strongly connected to Sweden) with over a quarter French and German and some Italian.”
