Episode 64 - Glenn Duncan and Tawney Beans

from Ohio Roots · host Ohio Genealogical Society

On this episode of the OGS Ohio Roots podcast we speak with Akron Beacon reporter Tawney Beans and the subject of her recent article Glenn Duncan. When a routine DNA test revealed unfamiliar relatives, Glenn Duncan began unraveling a family secret hidden since the 1950s. We discuss how forged records, quiet agreements between friends, and modern genetic genealogy revealed that Glenn’s childhood playmates were actually his half siblings—and how, decades later, the truth reshaped his understanding of family.
