MODERATORS
If a family member has done it, your privacy is already gone.
I had a new sister turn up out of nowhere. I've never had any genetic testing.
My brother gave my whole family gift cards for 23&Me. Pretty hopeless at that point.
My anonymous sperm donor was found due to his sibling doing a test without knowledge that he had donated. Found out about one of my half-siblings because their child took a test (no clue if the child knew about the parent's genetic background).
