10-10-2016 UPDATE: DNA confirmed thru daughter.
8-2016
I have just found out thru DNA results that my dad is not my Biological parent.
After having my aunt, her daughter, and her daughters daughter on my paternal side do DNA testing we have found that I match none of them.
I finally was able to get my sister to test and we are waiting for her results. If I do not match her then I will get re-tested as I would believe my test is bogus.
But in prying thru my family, stories have risen of a possible affair that my mom had with a Eugene Bausman. He was either a workmate or a friend of my uncle to be at the time Lyman McLuen.
At the time of packing up my mothers things on a move some 10 years ago or so my sister found the physical funeral card from the funeral of Eugene Bausman in her possession. When asked why she had it and who was he? she answered to my sister "That's Richie's daddy".
This info was never told to be and was not brought up until the results of my DNA came in.
Also, at a family get together recently when discussing this story my cousin mentioned the card and the name my other (older) cousin said " oh I remember him, he was a friend of my step father ( Lyman McLuen ).
I currently have a tree on Ancestry called : Bausman / Lomanto History that I am using to find out the family history.
I want to note that my father was the man who raised me, Louis C Lomanto. I am doing this search at the age of 56 for historical reasons and ethnicity.
I am not necessarily looking to inject myself into any other family as it could result in broken hearts..........and that I do not want to do.

Your Ancestry DNA test is an autosomal DNA test which will only give you matches back 5 or six generations. You will find cousin matches with these surnames, including the question marks: http://www.wikitree.com/treewidget/Lomanto-1/10 If you have matches with other surnames, they are probably on your tree in the question marks.
If you have not done so already, please set your preferences for your Tags Followed of interest to you to include DNA: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following
If you are adding any DNA test info to profiles on WikiTree, please be sure to add the tests to the actual test participant's profile, and that the Privacy is set to show the participant's Family Tree tab.
We also encourage you to join our Google+ Community for DNA discussions, questions and new information: https://plus.google.com/communities/111329829039015718912
