ATHENS, Ga., Dec. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Presenting a true story built on a foundation of genealogical research, Jasper S. Lee shares his narrative of family history exploring the relationships resulting from an unexpected result of a DNA test in his new book "Cousin? How DNA Testing Changed a Family" (published by Archway Publishing).
Jasper S. Lee developed an interest in genealogy and family history in recent years thanks to the discovery of family artifacts dating from the 1840s in the family plantation home. He investigated many angles while determining how Bobby Lee Pennington was biologically related to his other family members. All of Bobby Lee's ancestors were deceased, so there was no way of obtaining a DNA sample for confirmation. The result left him with an interesting and unsettled relationship with the man he had called Daddy — as well as an unclear connection to relatives he didn't know he had.
"Families are not always what we have been taught and that new family relationships can be very meaningful," the author says.
