The DNA test is separate to the sub. I made my Dad do his DNA and put me as his manager - I also manage our daughters and our niece.

Without a sub linked to the DNA test, you can see the results of ethnicity and who your matches are, but you cannot see any details about how you might be connected.

Not that you can tell from a lot of the matches anyway - if they don't put a family tree on ancestry, and such a lot don't, then anything less than 100 cm match is probably too far away to be know to you easily.

I can tell where some of Dad's match, by their surnames, but only because I have researched down to his generation. Other names and nicknames, I have no idea about and even looking at some family trees, I have no idea which family is the link - not even by the areas they lived in.
