oblivious piggish houseguests are the worst. you should be on extremely neat and tidy behavior when in someone else's home. and very grateful and helpful. full stop.

She has a right to whatever feelings she has.
Calling people dingbats and idiots and banging on doors for a dirty napkin and speaking ill of someone just because they are not the best guest? She may want to re-evaluate why things bother her so much.

Well hey hey yo yo, ancestry.com did find that a relative of yours murdered and killed someone. And they will be arrested.
Oh wow - did that really happen? YES IT DID.
See how that works?
DNA is DNA. If you want to do a double check that's fine - but don't clown a site because people voluntary give up their DNA.

Yes - if someone decides to do the DNA service through ancestry.com and agrees that they want people that are biologically related to have contact info - then they will.
Ex - I take test, it's on ancestry, I agree that if someone is a blood match then they can have my email, someone sends me an email saying "HEY! Did you know we're related?!"
How close of a blood match is considered a match, though? Are we talking siblings and half siblings? 1st cousins? 2nd cousin? Or much more distant than that?
If the match results can come from very distant relations then a "match" may not mean all that much.
Clearly you need answers - I'm sure the website will provide you all you need. That said, I believe they give you probabilities and percentiles if you're so inclined.
No, I don't "need answers", I was simply asking a question about the ancestry.com dna analysis that another poster mentioned. Follow along..
I am the poster mentioned and again - you're asking specific site questions that can be better researched on the site - here you go.

No, you get some pie chart that ran a regression to say you are 20% swedish descent, 30% german, 15% African nubian, 20% native american indian, etc.
OP - IS THIS ALL THAT HALF-BRO CLAIMED?? "HI, ANCESTRY.COM SAYS WE HAVE THE SAME FATHER, LET'S HANG OUT?"
or did he say, "My now-deceased mother told me who my father is, and it is your father as well."
I think the admission by the FATHER admitting that it's his love child who he ignores out of "respect" for his wife is a clear enough indicator. Only people in this thread are questioning whether he's really the brother. Which btw has NOTHING TO DO with the fact that OP is treating him like trash - related or not.

what blood match?
when is blood involved in ancestry.com?
Good god. Is everyone's computer or phone broken with the exception of this site?? ancestry.com and ancestrydna.com is the SAME company. ancestrydna includes submitting your dna - maybe not blood but a DNA swab test.

furthermore, it's only as good as its data, which currently is a small small segment of the population.

No way. That's nothing to go on. In fact I could go blow up ancestry.com right now with some fun write-ins.
Half brother love child's mother must have told him. QUestion is when and how? And why 3 years ago did he pop-up texting and emailing all his half sibs and "father"?
