Choose someone on the wheel to explore how you connect. The DNA estimates follow the biological family connections in the tree.
A child inherits half their autosomal DNA from each biological parent. Full siblings share about 50% on average, and half siblings about 25%.
Family-tree estimates are a guide: inheritance varies, and a DNA test may tell a different story. For distant relatives, a test may find no shared DNA.
Partners, adopted family, and stepfamily are part of the family story. Shared-DNA estimates follow biological ancestry. As we discover more family connections, estimates can change.
Autosomal DNA comes from the 22 pairs of chromosomes other than the sex chromosomes. It is the DNA used for these family estimates.
Select a card to highlight that person’s ancestors and descendants. Other people remain available to explore. Selection keeps your view in place; Locate selected moves to the person. Show close family highlights and frames their recorded parents, partners, co-parents, siblings and children. Back restores your previous view.
