My investigation revealed that the cousin in Sweden was definitely my daughter who I was not aware of and the other was definitely my deceased brother's son that no one in the family was aware of. Of course I had to get my DNA tested and the results were conclusive.

We recently had a family reunion so we could all meet the newly found family members. My Swedish daughter looked more like my family than her mother's. By the way her mother (deceased) would never tell her who her father was and she had never told or tried to contact me. My newly found nephew looked more like my brother than his son who we have known all his life.

Being a former LEO I think I have some investigative skills and my investigation along with DNA results have convinced me that DNA does not lie.
This is a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing it.
