A cautionary note
I have always had grave concerns about these DNA tests from private, profit-making corporations. Security & intent must always be considerations.
For that matter, we may need to think further about the whole genetic search thing: We all have two families - those with whom we share DNA, and those who care about us. With which family would you rather spend your time? I know my choice, and fortunately for me, in my own case there is a pretty large overlap, but it's not 100% the same. If it works for you, good, but it may not be 100% for you either.
...and by the way, it you come back to me with "blood is thicker than water" and an argument that you should stick always to blood relatives first, then being a priest, I even have scriptural evidence to suggest further thought on the matter.
Meanwhile, here's a provocative thoughtful article for consideration:
