[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those who are upset about the suggestion of incest should realize how often Dna tests are showing it...here is a study where 1 in 7000 people in a DNA bank had parents who were siblings or parent and child. https://hcn.health/hcn-trends-story/consumer-dna-tests-uncover-hidden-epidemic-of-incest/ and there's a paywalled Atlantic story from earlier this year on the same topic. the odds of that vs two secret Ashkenazi Jews finding each other and having kids don't seem that different.[/quote]

People who get their DNA done are not a random population sample.  Many are people looking for answers.  Anyway a few people here have chimed in to say that they have the same high percentage of Ashkenazi Jewish DNA.

There is no reason for you to keep insisting that there is a traumatic explanation. If so, OP will learn from further research.  This post is in the Religion forum.

It's not weird at all for people from a common ethnic origin to have lived in the same small neighborhood in the first half of  the 1900s.  In my family's ethnicity, men got mail order brides from the homeland.

Also, in some global cultures, it's okay for uncles to marry nieces and more tolerated for first cousins to marry.  Like European royalty (Queen Victoria).  It wasn't considered incest.  So there's that.[/quote]

It's very common for people of the same background to marry but it's very uncommon for people concealing the same background to find each other and marry. 
It's very common for people whose parents are both Ashekenazi Jews to have 90% or more Ashkenazi DNA but it's very uncommon for someone who never knew they had Jewish heritage to have that high a percentage of it. [/quote]

PP.  Madeleine Albright didn't know until the 1990s.  Here...I'm gifting an article that covers a situation similar to OP's.

"She says she was raised as a Roman Catholic and was never told by her parents or anyone else that family members had perished in the Holocaust. She says she has no independent knowledge of the evidence about her family's connection with that tragedy – the records showing the family's Jewish origins; the memories of family friends that Albright's parents converted to Catholicism around the time of World War II; records and other information indicating that Albright's relatives were exterminated at Auschwitz and other Nazi camps."[/quote]
