[Magdalen] DNA story

[Charles Wohlers]

Oh, yes, it's here already. 23&me will show you those of their customers 
whom you share DNA with, and, of course, the higher the percentage the 
closer the relationship. I did that and quickly found a woman who, it said, 
was my first cousin. After correspondence it turned out she was the daughter 
of my first cousin, Betty Lynn, with whom I hadn't been in touch with (nor 
her two sisters) in many years.

So indeed you can find close (and not-so-close) relatives right now via DNA 
right now.

And, BTW, maybe you should look up the movie "Starbuck" - a comedy about a 
sperm donor in Montreal. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1756750/

Have the DNA people gotten to the point (maybe never will?) that they can 
connect with unknown
relatives through DNA?

I'm particularly interested in connecting with the couple (several?) 
offspring that I suspect I
have secondary to semen donation when I was in UW-Medical School.  The ObGyn
Department at UW that operated this insemination service is totally a dead 
end for this
information as they claim they kept no records.  Odd.
