Why aren’t I showing in the DNA connections?

Question

If I have a genealogical connection to an ancestor, why doesn’t my name appear in the DNA connections section? I do match with those listed when comparing with GEDmatch.

What are the criteria for that section?

Answer 1

WikiTree will connect your autosomal test information to all your blood relatives out to eight degrees of separation—up to sixth great grandparents and out to third cousins. Y-DNA and mtDNA information will be connected to all relatives who might share the DNA with you. DNA information is updated once a day, so you will need to wait a day after posting your test information before it shows up on your ancestors' and relatives' profiles.

See the DNA Features help page.
