Anyone Here Reconnected With Distant Relatives After a DNA Test?
Hey everyone, I’m curious if anyone here has ever reconnected with distant relatives after doing a DNA test. I recently did one because my grandma always talked about a cousin she lost touch with decades ago. I didn’t expect much, but it turns out I have several matches in another country. Just wondering how others went about reaching out without it feeling super awkward.

Oh yeah, I had a similar experience! I ended up taking a genetic testing in israel a few years back just out of curiosity, and it actually connected me with a couple of relatives I’d never met. One was living just a few states away, and the other halfway across the world. I started with a casual email and shared some family photos, and it snowballed from there. Honestly, it was way less weird than I thought—everyone seemed excited to connect.
