A Touchingly Unexpected and Rewarding Story of How Four Sisters Discovered Each Other’s Existence Through a DNA Test
The Possibility of a Truth Revealed
After all the picture-showing and attempts to make them meet, the truth of the whole situation would only manifest itself in 2009. Nicoll and Rachelle would meet for the first time then. It took time to get them together, as their friends had tried to make it happen in vain.
How did they pull the meeting through? Luck was on their side as country music superstar Kenny Chesney was passing through the area. Naturally, people would turn up to enjoy his music and performances to their delight. The musician’s show presented a golden opportunity for the two to finally meet.
A Unique Connection
Even before we answer all these questions, we must let you know of the unique yet special bond between these two sisters. Rachelle and Kristelle were born as twins and had always had an unspoken connection. They always did everything together while growing up in Washington State.

In any case, we expect closely-knit twins to always do things together—it’s normal. As they were growing old, they knew a time would come when they would have to go their separate ways, as adulthood usually brings separation. Would they find it easy to let go of each other once that time came?
A Chanced Occurrence
Unfortunately for them, the day eventually came when Rachelle had to go. And as expected, it was difficult for them to let go of each other. That day took place in 2004 when Rachelle, her spouse, and her child had to relocate away from Seattle. She had just landed a teaching job at Tallwood Elementary School in Virginia Beach.

While departing, she had no idea what the next ten years would hold for them. Rachelle wouldn’t be in a position to know that Virginia would mean more than a place for her occupation. It would lead her to a surprising discovery.
Starting Over
It’s never easy to start a new life in a new location you’ve never been to. In fact, you need to rely on some tried-and-tested lessons to scrape through. Rachelle knew she would have to become a regular face and stay curious to adapt quickly. Of course, it wasn’t easy for her to leave her sister behind.

With a new job in hand, she resolved to embrace her new location and house. In her mind, she kept asking herself how it would be to adapt to her new surroundings. Well, one thing she could rely on was comical, aggressive friendship-making.
An Incessant Question
While in Virginia, where she and Kristelle had never been to before, Rachelle kept meeting people who constantly said they recognized her. Their approach and how they were sure of what they were saying left her wondering. The entire scenario played out as if they had previously seen her in the area.

That can’t be the case, can it? Rachelle was taken aback by the events, but she became more curious. She needed to get to the bottom of the matter. However, unknown to her, her curiosity would basically open a can of worms that even she wouldn’t dare close.
Grief and Misery
The unfolding events left Rachelle disheartened. All they did was bring back her memories of Kristelle. She became sad the more she thought of her, and the fact that she couldn’t see her anymore broke her heart even more. She was barely finding her footing in Virginia and knew no one.

Rachelle knew she had to make things work if she wanted to succeed on her own without looking up to her sister. Since she had work to attend to, she dived right in to distract herself from the happenings around her. In no time, she’d know why things seemed so easy.
Persistent Issue
Rachelle made friends at a faster speed than she didn’t even expect. While this was happening, all the new friends she made seemingly kept telling her the same thing. According to a Family search 2019 article, one study suggests that the likelihood of two people having the same facial features is less than 1 in 1 trillion.

In her usual nature, Rachelle brushed them off, saying that she has a recognizable face, so they must be confusing her with another person. Still, they wouldn’t let it go until one day; they were able to tell why her face looked familiar.
Linking Up
Like a couple who tend to have similarities due to ingroup biases (the preference for same-race in dating), people made a connection between Rachelle and the woman they were confusing her with. Apparently, she reminded them of a woman who used to work at the same school where she was posted some years back.

Quickly, some of the staff figured out that Rachelle looked exactly like a woman named Shannon Nicoll. Rachelle wondered to herself who Nicoll was. It turns out that she had worked at Tallwood Elementary School long before Rachelle came along. She thought of how they looked the same.
Shannon Nicoll in Person
Nicoll had left Tallwood some years ago and taught at King’s Grant, a nearby elementary school. So, it’s apparent that she would ordinarily be seen around owing to the two schools’ proximity to each other. Tallwood’s fraternity soon got wind of a new, mysterious teacher in Virginia.

The teacher apparently resembles Nicoll, who is actually her replacement. Unknown to them, Rachelle and Nicoll’s friends began to hatch an elaborate plan to get them to meet each other. Sometimes, people aren’t able to tell what lies ahead with such plans. These friends couldn’t have possibly imagined the consequences of their actions.
Alter Ego
To confirm to her what they’ve been saying all along, people showed Rachelle pictures of her doppelganger. You know, the woman they’ve been likening to her ever since she arrived. To her shock, Rachelle admittedly resigned herself to the fact that they shared several similar features.

Would she quickly jump into the euphoria of the moment? No, she swiftly brushed off the similarities as normal since people can have similar looks. The same reaction was drawn from Nicoll, who also saw it as a mere coincidence. The resemblances made Rachelle miss her sister even more, though; that’s until five years later.
The Possibility of a Truth Revealed
After all the picture-showing and attempts to make them meet, the truth of the whole situation would only manifest itself in 2009. Nicoll and Rachelle would meet for the first time then. It took time to get them together, as their friends had tried to make it happen in vain.

How did they pull the meeting through? Luck was on their side as country music superstar Kenny Chesney was passing through the area. Naturally, people would turn up to enjoy his music and performances to their delight. The musician’s show presented a golden opportunity for the two to finally meet.
A Collision of Two Worlds
A mutual friend of the two women invited them to the planned Kenny Chesney concert. The friend didn’t expect anything from the ordinary other than the two getting to know each other. And when they finally met, two worlds collided, and there was no undoing what was to follow.

Rachelle felt like she was looking in a mirror when she saw Nicoll for the first time. Everything looked like hers, from the pale hair, the sharp-pointed chin, the blue eyes, and the heart-shaped lips. They took a selfie and quickly became friends. Rachelle and Kristelle’s mother must have turned in her grave.
The School Ancestry Project
Ten years after their encounter, a pure coincidental event took place at Tallwood Elementary. The school was running an ancestry project, which led to the principal suggesting Rachelle take a DNA test. This was an ideal test for her to lay to rest some of her long-held curiosity about her origins.

Rachelle was curious about her true identity as well as the identity of their biological mother. She didn’t expect much other than to know her and her sister’s identities in undergoing the test. She never suspected a simple and innocent test would forever turn her world upside down.
The Emergence of a Cousin
Unfortunately for Rachelle, the DNA test all but revealed the existence of a cousin named Tracey Hall. This finding was not in vain, though. It set Rachelle on the right path she desperately needed to find the truth about who she was that would lead to an unexplainable turn of events.

Rachelle reached out to Hall to initiate communication. She was surprised that her cousin, whom she hadn’t even known existed, knew everything about her. If that wasn’t a shocking revelation enough, the cousin had been keeping a stupendous secret with her for years, too—a secret that would change their lives!
Secrets from the Past
Tracey fought with her thoughts about revealing the long-held secret from her mother, Sue Hall. It was entrusted to her years earlier. However, secrets always have a way of coming out when the right time comes. Alas, the time had come for it to come out and to the right person as well!

This is a secret that her mother took with her to the grave. Tracey didn’t want to hang on to it anymore as it had become a heavier burden. She gathered enough courage to speak, although with a trembling voice. She told Rachelle everything her mother had told her.
Truth Uncovered
Apparently, Tracey’s mother, Sue Hall, had a sister named Janice Moore. With bated breath, Rachelle listened as Tracey began her narration, finally starting to unlock the truth about Rachelle’s true identity. But was she really ready for the truth she didn’t even know existed before all of this?

Rachelle gave it another deep and hard thought before officially deciding that she was indeed ready to know. There was an urgent need for her to know who her mother was and where she came from. Here she was with Tracey, who was ready to spill it all out and in detail.
