Hi again - just registering the DNA kit for sister - have come to the question:
'Would you like to see your DNA matches and be listed as a match?'
I said 'yes' for my own - but not sure what to put for her - if I put 'no' can I change it later - or if I put 'yes' can I also change that back - sorry maybe I should have waited till I got my own first to know what I was doing! There seems to be no explanation on the form as I go through it.
Why has your sister agreed to DNA testing? If to see her ethnicity report, she may be disappointed, but she will be able to see it.
But you say she is not interested in the results at all.
Possibly she has agreed to be tested to help you. Her results could split your paternal and maternal matches. But only if you agree for her to see her matches and be listed as a match.
In husband's DNA settings -
"Privacy
DNA Matches
You can see DNA matches of A and A will be listed as a DNA match.
Change
If you choose not to see the DNA matches of A or have A listed as a DNA match, you and the DNA matches of A won't be able to:
Learn how they're related.
View profiles.
Send messages.
The test manager's display name—B—will also be shown to identify the test admin"
For best results for you, you should attach yourself to an Ancestry tree and identify yourself in that tree.
For your sister, she doesn't have to be attached to the tree and identified if she doesn't wish to, but this makes it harder for others to work out where matches are likely to be connected.
Lots of people have no tree, small tree, private tree etc - this is for them to choose, but makes life harder for those who want to establish connections.
