As a genealogist, The Lost family is a book I recommend everyone read BEFORE they submit to a casual DNA test. So many people have deep secrets woven into their families, and genetic genealogy often forces them to pull at those threads, even when - especially when - those secrets belong to others and are unknowingly exposed.
Shell, I am reading Libby's book, and you have summarized it quite well. The kilt for whatever caused viewers to smile. Libby makes it clear that there may not be smiles when one learns the undeniable truth, and attempts to share it. I agree with Libby: before you spit into that vial, read her book.

Ignorance, nor knowledge, is bliss. It depends...
