DNA testing has become one of the most powerful tools available to help adoptees and others with unknown parentage identify and reconnect with their biological families. 

Through services such as AncestryDNA® and other major testing platforms, individuals can compare their DNA to millions of other test-takers and receive valuable clues about their ethnic origins and genetic connections. 

By analyzing ethnicity estimates alongside the list of DNA matches — ranging from close relatives to distant cousins — patterns begin to emerge that can point to specific family lines, geographic origins, and shared ancestral connections. 

While ethnicity estimates provide helpful context, it is the combination of DNA match analysis, family trees, historical records, and careful research that turns raw genetic data into meaningful answers. At It’s All Relative Genealogy, we specialize in interpreting DNA results and applying professional genealogical methods to help adoptees identify biological parents, siblings, and extended family members. 

Using a research-driven approach, we evaluate shared DNA matches, cluster related families, compare available trees, and build evidence-based conclusions designed to move from uncertainty toward clear identification. Although our work is often AncestryDNA® focused due to its large database and powerful tools, we also incorporate results from other testing sites when appropriate to expand the pool of matches and improve accuracy. Our goal is to provide compassionate, ethical, and results-focused guidance that helps clients uncover their biological roots and build a clearer understanding of their family story. 

As an adoptee myself, I understand the emotions and questions most adoptees deal with.
