I don't have any suspicious circumstances like those in my direct line, although in other branches there are some later children who might not be children of the parents in whose families in which they grew up. Of course, prior to civil registration everything gets a lot murkier! |

I don’t know much about family history DNA. My interest has been in health issues.
I do however, have a birth cert which has the wrong name for the father. I have checked it’s the same on the original record, and it can’t be changed, but it still annoys me.

Another of my 2x ggf has his uncle and aunt named as his parents on his birth certificate. I only stumbled across the truth when I found his baptism. A similar sense of shock I am sure to finding such dna evidence, but would that show up if you weren't looking for it? After all, we don't know what we don't know!

I have been suspicious about my grandfather's birth certificate. He was the youngest of a very large family, his birth registered at the very last date, and his mother - who signed the register at her rmarriage - merely made her mark as informant.
But DNA would merely introduce some unknown matches, quite possibly 4th or more remote cousins

They changed "NPE" to be "Not Parent Expected" some time ago, didn't they? So it can apply to either parent, mother or father.

I've been confirming Dad's tree via DNA not very scientifically but I figure if we connect at certain point then the lines below must be correct.
One of Dad's Indian lines is a bit blurry back towards the 1800s. I know the last confirmed person but haven't looked too hard into going further. The words harem and one of 3 brothers has been floated around by descendants but I've not looked into it. Dad has a match though which proves it is the right family at least as she does not have an Indian connection but a rather elaborate tree for the father of the 3 brothers. So the family rumours just might have at least a grain of truth in them. I thought NPE was Non parental event.
