Title: Ancestry Dna match
Post by: Kerrill on Saturday 21 February 26 22:01 GMT (UK)
Please could someone point out to me what this means when I try and find out a match on another person.........is either not a DNA match or has not taken a DNA test.

However, (my brother) is a DNA match to tests associated with Mrs Smith's account including:

CO ?   the CO is the person I have clicked on and got the above message. Mrs Smith

How many cMs does your brother share with this person?
Your brother might share more DNA than you do with them? You may be below the cM cut off that Ancestry display.
Do both you and your brother match with CO but only him and not you matches with Mrs Smith?

Its not saying how much, when I click on DNA relationship to myself it says I have no relation but when I click on DNA relationship to my brothers it gives the message my brother to CO is either not a DNA match or has not taken a DNA test. However, (my brother) is a DNA match to tests associated with Mrs Smith's account including:

CO ?   the CO is the person I have clicked on and got the above message. Mrs Smith

Sorry everyone I should explain that this person messaged me asking if I knew our connection (I was not aware that we were) so I clicked on her name  (CO) and found that I wasnt so I checked all my siblings and found that two of my brothers (when checking for DNA connection) got the following statement ..........my brothers to CO is either not a DNA match or has not taken a DNA test. However, (my brother) is a DNA match to tests associated with Mrs Smith's account including CO

So your Brother is a DNA match with the contact, then he or the match knows how much cM they share with each other.

This is what we are asking you to provide to us.

If less than 10cM it can be a False Positive match, and in any case at low levels of shared DNA it is very possible that Siblings are NOT showing as a DNA match even if there is an actual Biological Relationship.

Yes I know what you want me to provide and heaven only knows that if I knew that I would honestly give it to you, please tell me how I can find this out as I have said before when I search for the match on both my brothers with the person who has messaged me I get nothing, and when I click on the DNA relation ship to I get the message that I have repeatedly wrote even in red.
