Guardian News & Media Limited article 'Strange but ultimately positive genetic discovery reveals up to 1,000 relatives linked to prolific sperm donor' Description: This Guardian News & Media Limited article is about Barbara Nunn and Jack Nunn discovering that they had up to 1000 relatives, when they found out Barbara's father Bertold Wiesner was one of the world’s earliest and most prolific sperm donors. This led to Jack working with his family to involve them in his PhD research in discussions about future genomics research.
