according to 23 and me, i have several 'fifth cousins' out there (aka fourth cousin, once removed). this means 0.11-0.13% of our genes are the same, and we share great great great great grandparents. so, in theory, i could contact these people and start a family tree that might lead me to me biological parents. it seems like an impossible task... am i crazy to think this is a viable way to find my roots??
eta: after reading more closely, a few of the 5th cousins could possibly be 3rd cousins!
