lest you completely trust dna- [View all]

so, i found a cousin on myheritage, 3-5th, it said. i messaged her and turns out she was an adoptee looking for family. we rly clicked, peas in a pod. a couple of other family members went over there last year, and met her. a dear person.
i bugged her to do the ancestry dna, hoping for more info. she did, i did, guess what? ancestry says no.

she- can we still be cousins?
me- i piss off the irish born folks i meet by calling them cousin, so sure.

mistakes do happen.
