   It is the sort of thing that you might only find out through a test.   
      
   I found a half-sister through conventional means, we had not knowledge   
   until we were told and I managed to find her.  If we had not been told   
   then we would never have known but it is the sort of thing that might   
   have been found through DNA.   
      
   I found one very close match through DNA (on the other side of the   
   world).  The person did say that one of his family did not know who her   
   father was.  Through comparing information, we are very sure that it was   
   one of my ancestors which would fit with the DNA evidence.  You can be   
   never be sure but but there are several things which tend to confirm it   
   is very likely.
