The person isnt doing family tree research. they heard a family story that someone may have had a child that could be a sibling.They asked my advice on whether a DNA test like they do on that tv show, born without a trace or something could link them to someone who could possibly be a sibling. |

BUT.................... all this depends on the OTHER people having taken DNA tests |

But the friend is only looking siblings. It is a bit expensive if they are not doing family history research. |

But a dna couid point to other family members and if they have their tree on ancestry then names in their tree could match with another tree |

Ah I thought that might be the case nameslessone and told them, but thought would check on here as I have little knowledge about DNA. |

That puts a bit of a different light to it. Your friend is unlikely to find anything unless the ‘other one’ has tested. |

Ok Ty for your replies,I'll pass it on to a friend of mine.They dont know if they have any unknown siblings,but some family gossip has suggested so they want to know if a DNA test would prove anything. |

You can do a dna test that proves you are related to x or not. You both have to take the test. |

If a person thought they may have a sibling or siblings and they took a DNA test, because they have no other proof, would it connect to anyone. how does it work? |
