Mr. Stitchnripper had his done. He grew up thinking he was half Italian and half German. come to find out that he is half Italian and half Jewish. Turns out there is a long story there, from WWII and such. My lineage is well documented thanks to a cousin who did a geneology study on my father's side, and my mother's side came from pretty much the same areas in Europe, ancestors apparently knowing each other as much as she could tell. Of course there could always be a surprise somewhere!
