If I have a DNA match but cannot find a common ancestor or sources where or what do I do?

    I've used the DNA Painter WATO tool to determine if certain relationships are possible. I also recently signed up for Ancestry Pro Tools. I had a DNA match to a man at 37 cm, but he did not have a tree attached. In the shared matches I found his sister, with a lower cm number, but with a tree. Some of their other shared matches have a common ancestor. Using the WATO tool has helped me figure out ways we may be related.

    Thank you I did not even know about that tool and I think it will answer a question for someone else too.

    So what is the WATO tool and how do I get to it?

    The What Are the Odds (WATO) tool is available via DNA Painter.
