DNA Connect shows an unexpected family relationship: what should I do?

Updated on

This can happen. Adoption, egg or sperm donation, or an unknown family relationship may come to light through DNA analysis, as may the absence of a relationship you had assumed. 

  • Take your time before contacting anyone. The other person may also be unaware. 
  • Remember that a match is an estimate, not proof of a family relationship. 
  • Our geneticists can help you interpret the relationship. 
  • You can block a user or deactivate DNA Connect at any time. 

If this information affects you, speaking to a professional may help.
