Unravelling my DNA mystery

Outlook

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.
