23 and Me Now (Once Again) Allows Users To Find “Relatives In Common”.
According to “AncestryDNA GEDmatch 23andMe FTDNA MyHeritage Genealogy LivingDNA”, 23 and Me users can once again find “Relatives In Common”.
We also strongly recommend that Korean Adoptees who are interested in birth family search and who have NOT previously taken 23 and Me, do so RIGHT AWAY - as the future of 23 and Me is uncertain, and it contains the MOST amount of Korean DNA in its database. For 23 and Me users we strongly recommend at the least screen capturing all of your CLOSEST MATCHES so that you have some record of them for the future.
