One of the two key processes to working with your DNA matches is to determine the relationship between you and each of your Matches. As you work to determine that relationship, start by evaluating your matches. Review the name of the match and the manager of the DNA kit. Identify what the generational relationship you may be to the match by comparing ages (the Match as well as their parents or grandparents). Review the Shared cMs Project to determine what potential relationships that amount of DNA may suggest. And consider what clusters the match already belongs to. Evaluating the match ahead of time will give a sense of where in your tree to search for a common ancestor. | |||
