    Question Have you found any previously unknown relatives thanks to DNA tests?

    I know one Polish guy who shares 97 total cM (the largest segment is 23 cM) in common with another person on GEDmatch. He contacted that person, and it turned out that they are relatives, because that person is descended from one of this guy's great-grandparents. So they share a great-grandparent in common.

    Have any of you found previously unknown relatives thanks to DNA tests?

    Dick just thumbed up my post.

    Sorry Dick, how could I forget that you found out that Magnolia is your cousin thanks to DNA!

    But are there any other cases?

    My closest match on GEDmatch shares 36 total cM with me (largest cM 15.4).

    She has contacted me via e-mail, but it turned out that we are most likely not related during the last few generations. Her ancestors are from a different part of Poland. But I guess that if you share 100 total cM with someone, then it might be your close relative (like in that case described in the OP).

    I have another match who shares 24.6 cM with me, and all of this is one segment (largest cM 24.6). Also she has a surname which is common in my region (I know some people with this surname).

    I will probably contact her, because this might be some closer relative.
