I mean, there was nothing major...my parents were my parents and such, and I found a first cousin on my Dad's side. He died when I was 4, so didn't have contact with his side of the family. I contacted her she sent me pics of relatives. It was nice.
The surprise was my ethnicity. I always thought I was strongly of German heritage. Nope, only 20%. 54% UK, 20% German, 18% Swedish, 4% Norwegian, and 4% Finnish. Never knew there was Swedish in there, but that explains a lot. like my blond hair and blue eyes. when most of my family was slightly deeper skin toned and most had brown hair.
