Is this a Scam? DNA & Genealogy In the Mailbag:
About this episode
Have you ever peered into your family tree and found a story that's tangled, moving, and a little surprising? That's exactly what Kathleen and I discuss in our latest podcast episode.
Kathleen answers two emails on air from the HTB Mailbag:
1. A compelling case is presented where a man seeks to understand his uncle's paternity, bringing to light the sensitive nature of uncovering hidden truths within our lineage.
2. A question on the ethics of genealogy research, emphasizing the importance of clear communication and honest cost transparency.
