Lois, These tests will never show that you match an ancestor by name. They only show if your series of numbers matches another donor's series of numbers. If you get a match in your number series, then you probably have a relative. They will, hopefully, be glad to share with you what they know of their ancestry, and you will share withe them what you know, and you well may come up with a common ancestor. It is a good thing. Keep the Faith, Barbara
