Unravelling my DNA mystery
Investigative journalist Matt Katz set out to identify his real father and uncover the truth about his origins.
Matt Katz is an award-winning investigative journalist based in the US, but when he started looking into his own family history, he faced his most challenging assignment yet. It all started when he took a DNA test to find out more about where his ancestors had hailed from. He knew they were Ashkenazi Jews who'd emigrated to America from Eastern Europe. But when his results came in, they begged a lot of awkward questions.
Matt's made a podcast series about his search. It's called Inconceivable Truth and it's produced by Wavland.
