Twins DNA results PROVE their long lost father is...

[00:00:00]These two young men, Edward and Edwin, are looking for their long lost biological father.

[00:00:08]>> Hello.

[00:00:12]>> Do you speak Tagalog?

[00:00:14]>> They believe they are half Australian.

[00:00:19]>> Hi, nice meeting you. Nice meeting you, sir. How are you, sir? How are you?

[00:00:24]>> We are helping Edward and Edwin to find their father. way to find um relatives family is DNA. You cannot get wrong with the DNA.

[00:00:33]>> 6 months later and we now have the twins DNA results.

[00:00:37]>> Father is going to be essentially 75% and 25% and you have a handful of Australian descendants there.

[00:00:46]>> In a new shocking twist of this story, this man is claiming to be the twins father.

[00:00:50]>> Hi Blair, >> how do you? His story adds up as he was in the Philippines at the right time.

[00:00:58]But is he their father?

[00:01:01]>> So, we're back, guys, with Edward and Edwin. Now, you're going to have to remind me who is who. I apologize. Let me take a guess. Uh, Edwin.

[00:01:11]>> Yes.

[00:01:13]>> Yeah. So, Edwin, uh, who took the DNA, >> right? So Edwin took the DNA test and Edward here >> and Liam May we got the results of the DNA back >> but there was no father match. Is that right?

[00:01:29]>> Yes. There were some distant cousin matches and we have Caleb our genealogologist who is in America who helps us at the L and Blair log and he's been trying to trace the ancestry of the twins and he's going to give a presentation this morning. So he's standing by in America now.

[00:01:50]>> Yeah.

[00:01:51]>> Ready to give a presentation on what he's found so far.

[00:01:55]>> Yes.

[00:01:55]>> Okay. So you you took the um ancestry DNA as well as my heritage, right?

[00:02:03]>> Yes.

[00:02:04]>> Um the result is uh we got the distance relatives.

[00:02:08]>> It's not zero. You have relatives. So we found some relatives and um some of your relatives are helping us because it's a distance. It's about like three um >> third to fourth cousins.

[00:02:23]>> Third or fourth cousins. Yeah. So, it's it's a lot it's a lot of uh work to do.

[00:02:29]>> Now, it was time for the twins to hear about their DNA results from Caleb, the Gman genealogologist. Over six long months, Caleb had worked late into the night putting together the twins family tree.

[00:02:44]>> So, the first thing I'll do is I'll take you through what your ethnicity u results show on the ancestry DNA test.

[00:02:52]Um, and what it's showing us is that your father is going to be essentially 75% English and 25% Scottish. From Ancestry, you have a close cousin named Travis McCord. And he's a second cousin once removed. And that's the very closest cousin that you have on Ancestry. And then on My Heritage, you have another cousin, Christian Newsome.

[00:03:17]Because their matches were only third or fourth cousins. This was going to be a hard slog for Caleb.

[00:03:22]>> And all of these cousins trace back to a different person. And that person is William Carrick Suget.

[00:03:29]>> Caleb was now researching hundreds of years back into the past to try and find out who the twins father really is.

[00:03:37]>> This this is the Cornwall group of your English origin. um your father was about 10 or 20% uh from Cornwall, England. And that would be this group's uh DNA that's showing up there. Um but these are just rough estimates. So we're going to be back, your common ancestor with these people that turned up in the DNA tests is going to be back in the 1880s. Almost all of your DNA matches come off of this guy, uh Sicil Carrick Sugat.

[00:04:04]Um so all of your cousin matches uh along this line are coming from various children from him. So he might be your great greatgrandfather. The one interesting thing that I did find is that Cecil does have a halfsister named Lorna who went to Australia in 1923.

[00:04:23]>> Was Lorna Suget the link into Australia.

[00:04:26]But now also a man had contacted the Len Blair Slog claiming to be the twins biological father. But who is Max and how did he know so much about the twins?

[00:04:38]Somebody has reached out to us by the name of Max.

[00:04:43]>> Yes, >> he is Brazilian from Brazil.

[00:04:47]>> Brazilian.

[00:04:48]>> Uhhuh. From Brazil. His name is uh his full name is too long to pronounce, but he goes by the nickname of Max. and he has reliably informed us after watching the video that he was in the Philippines roughly around this the sort of time that you guys were conceived. For me personally, I was quite standoffish because in this day and age, it could be someone >> doing an AI avatar or a scam. And but the information that he started to give to me was really adding up and he mentioned the name of your mother as >> Belinda. Yeah, >> Belinda.

[00:05:33]>> But he said Berlin.

[00:05:34]>> Bera.

[00:05:36]I can show you that message. Okay. Um he said he was in he was in Clark on 200 uh 20 2003 >> around January February he met the name Belinda. He saw your video. Um, and then he found a picture of your mom through the vid through the video and also he said like he looks like the woman that I met but he is more whiter skin because of course your mom now is more brown, right?

[00:06:06]>> Because he was working in uh Mindanao, right? Your mother. So again after we release our video uh he reached out to us because he is a one of our followers and he he is claiming and hoping that you guys kiss his son >> and he had a a trip to Australia. Is that right? He he was >> he said he he always uh use name nickname Max. He didn't say that he is Brazilian. He said he he met the woman and he he said to the woman that he is from Sydney, Australia.

[00:06:42]>> Yes. Yeah. He was living in Sydney, Australia. So maybe that's where what your mother has said matches up.

[00:06:47]>> Yeah. We we tried to match it up. There is some that match. There is some that don't. So >> we've sent him a a DNA test.

[00:06:55]>> Yes.

[00:06:56]>> Wow.

[00:06:56]>> Uh it got to him and then customs for whatever reason sent it back to America.

[00:07:02]There was the wrong documentation. So over the past couple of months, that's what's happened. And we have now sent him another DNA test with the right information that the customs need to then pass it on to him. So that's on its way to Brazil now.

[00:07:17]>> So he's he's in Brazil now.

[00:07:18]>> Yeah.

[00:07:19]>> Yes, he is in Brazil. And >> he will take a DNA.

[00:07:21]>> Brazilian. He >> he is he is he is a Brazilian.

[00:07:25]Brazilian.

[00:07:25]>> Yes, >> he is Brazilian. But he said when he met this woman, he didn't say that he is from he is Brazilian.

[00:07:31]>> He was staying in Australia at the time.

[00:07:33]but his ethnicity is Brazilian and he's living in Brazil right now and he has sent us a video message for us and the twins.

[00:07:44]>> Now, I'd like to say that >> I'm not sure.

[00:07:47]>> So, that's probably their father.

[00:07:50]>> I'm I'm I wouldn't go as far as to% >> that we have to confirm. We need to confirm through the DNA. But this guy is claiming that the twins is his and he is hoping >> or he had a relationship >> with your mother.

[00:08:06]>> With your mother, >> but he may not be the father.

[00:08:09]>> So that's where the DNA test is going to come in. Does Max look like the twins?

[00:08:15]As Liam May showed the picture of Max, you could see the look in the twins eyes. Were they looking at their longlost biological father or not?

[00:08:26]There's a video message, but he's speaking in uh Brazilian or Portuguese.

[00:08:30]I believe they they speak in Brazil, Portuguese. So, Liam has >> put it through AI.

[00:08:39]>> So, this is uh his >> Hi, Blair.

[00:08:43]>> Hi, Blair. How are you? I'm going to tell you my story, Blair, because the story of those twins sounds a lot like my own. In 2002, I went to Sydney, Australia at the invitation of a friend.

[00:08:56]And when I arrived in Australia in December 2002, I wanted to explore the country. Then my friend invited me to the Philippines, to the city of Clark.

[00:09:05]And there I met a girl called Berlin.

[00:09:10]Berlin. This girl, a Filipina called Berlin, and we started dating there. I met her at a restaurant nearby and I told her I lived in Sydney, Australia. I didn't go into much detail about my life, but actually I'm Brazilian and I live in Brazil. I was there on holiday in the Philippines just having a break.

[00:09:31]I went to Sydney, Australia in 2003. In January and February, I spent some time in the city of Clark over in the Philippines and met this girl called Belina. And at one point there, I suspect she may have been pregnant. So my visa was about to expire. So I went back to Sydney in Australia and from there I returned to my home country which is Brazil. And then I heard about this story about the twins Edward and Edwin. I was really moved. It's very similar to my story. And if I'm really their father, I'd be very happy because they're special people. Thank you, Blair. God bless your lives, Max. So, he's claiming he was there at the time.

[00:10:18]His name's Max. The the story of Australia matches up what you guys told us before that your mom said he was from Australia, but he said he didn't go into too much detail telling your mom that he was from Brazil. So, we can maybe give you a picture of Max and you can show your mom, but really I must stress the importance of the the DNA test.

[00:10:41]>> Yes. and that's on its way to Brazil.

[00:10:44]So, we're looking at another two months wait until we get the results.

[00:10:48]>> Uh there's also a chance that they just met, but not the real.

[00:10:52]>> Yes, possible.

[00:10:53]>> So, we've got another two month wait, guys. But we wanted to share this with you because this is what happens behind the scenes.

[00:11:00]>> Yes.

[00:11:00]>> And it's important. And he keeps asking us, have you told the twins?

[00:11:05]>> And your mom might be able to shed some light on it. Oh, I I know him, but >> so we don't know.

[00:11:11]>> The twins case is the toughest we've ever had on the L and Blair slog. If you're a budding genealogologist, reach out to us as we need your help.

[00:11:22]Liam, I think Caleb needs some coffee to stay awake during the long we hours of the night. Thanks, Caleb.
