I received this information from Ann Abrams recently:
==========================
The Two John Marbachs:
How an Amateur Genealogist
Solved One of the Most Puzzling DNA Mysteries
When amateur genealogist Ann Abrams uploaded her DNA to Ancestry, she discovered a man named John Marbach who was her 2nd cousin, but she had no idea who he was or how they were related. Her quest to solve that mystery led her on a years-long search that took surprising twists and turns and reads like a tale of mystery, intrigue, double lives, and buried secrets.
In “The Two John Marbachs,” Ann Abrams provides the story of that genealogical quest, which comes with shocking revelations and a family tree that extends to three continents and hundreds of unsuspecting people. As the result of a simple DNA test, long buried secrets have suddenly come to light, revealing shocking truths about their ancestors, who they thought they were, and how the journeys of two men, decades and continents apart, affected the lives of so many people, but without modern science, would never have come to light.
For anyone interested in genealogy, family secrets, and narrative nonfiction mysteries, prepare to encounter one of the most puzzling DNA mysteries ever recorded, how one woman solved it, and what it means about the human condition and the meaning of family and identity. “The Two John Marbachs” is a true story about a DNA mystery that is stranger than fiction with more twists and turns than a mystery novel. For readers of “Buried Secrets” by Anne Hanson, “The Stranger in My Genes” by Bill Griffeth, and “A Broken Tree” by Stephen F. Anderson.
The book can be ordered on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Two-
