I have tried to do a lot with DNA , some of which actually has been successful, but not with many people
However for most people the basic flaw in the system is that the people taking DNA tests do not know where exactly they came from, and that is why the do the test. For example they live in USA , but know the family came from Ireland, but do not know where in Ireland and do a DNA test to find out
Meanwhile in Ireland people who'd families never emigrated are not doing DNA tests because there is nothing in it for them - they know where they come from
So the person in USA never finds anything from their DNA test. The only matches they get are to other people in USA that have no ideas either
Having said that, there is an outside chance that you will be able to find something from the DNA, but the chances are not high
