So I'm no expert on genealogy, but let's assume Lurline is alive, her son/daughter would be around 30. If their DNA is out there, how can mom or sister see if they get a "hit" or match through their DNA? Anyone familiar with how this works or the steps needed to take?
@PayrollNerd is right. I am an old genealogist. My 23&Me results showed genetic links to people in the areas of Ireland that I have records! To the county level, mind you.
If Lurline has children, and any of them have submitted DNA, you could be matched. Unfortunately the whole heritability thing is complex. The suggested relationship may aunt/niece or cousin/cousin, but the strong relationship should show.
Often there are holiday sales, you may find a bargain price this weekend, for Ancestry or 23&Me? I don't know which one has a bigger database/more people in it.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
