Pretty awesome stuff!

In the past few days I found out there is a whole other side of my family.  When my grandfather was in WW2 he went to Puerto Rico and either had an affair with this woman or just knocked her up.  I already had a half-aunt, now I have a totally different half-uncle.  He was born in Puerto Rico and lived in Camden, NJ... which was maybe an hour away from where I used to live.  What I can't understand is why my straight up Italian-Catholic side "kicked us out" of the family when my mom got a divorce, but it was okay for my grandfather to have three different children with three different women.  The guy who contacted me wants to know if my mom will go for a DNA test which he'll pay for.  I don't think he needs to since he contacted me with my papa's full Italian name, which almost no one knows.  I'm finding this all really interesting.
