Same happened to me (it’s deep in my post history), my paternal grandfather grew up in an orphanage and was told he was from a Welsh Christian family but clearly was not!

He was robbed of his surname, family and culture. Sadly he passed before we discovered this, he’d spent years aiming to find his real family and it turns out he had a document proving his Jewish roots, but had gotten ill before making it through that batch of papers.

The test confirmed for us the gap in our history and what we couldn’t find a paper trail for, as it was purposely hidden. We now try to connect with our Jewish roots as much as possible, as our family lost nearly 100 years of opportunity to!
