I found two first cousins I didn't know I had and we in turn did some detective work on our own and found that my father's brother had fathered two girls. One while he was in the service and didn't know about and the other he had not seen since she was little. We are all in our 60's now. Happy ending.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It’s possible, but unlikely. For this program to run optimally everyone would need their saliva collected. 23andMe is good at pairing people related by DNA when there is a match in the database.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi - Yes. DNA Relatives locates other 23andMe members that match your DNA and estimates a predicted relationship using the length, number of segments, and percentage of DNA shared. When two people share identical segments of DNA, this indicates that they share a recent common ancestor. This tool will be able to identify matches that are related to you both maternally and paternally within the last five to ten generations. While many of your relatives may be more distantly related, there is the possibility of finding a much closer relative.
