Why do some people seek out lost relatives they have never met? I think it's a mistake. What do they expect to find? The idea of seeking out friends is all well and good, but using the pretext of genetic data rather than just being honest about it seems a little false, plus it isn't very efficient. The only reason I can think of is to find out any medical information that may be genetic.
And just so you know, I have a single "long lost relative" that's pretty close to me on the ol' tree there, but I don't really care about this person. I have no emotional connection, and as such I do not "miss" that person. Logically, to seek that person out would be a wasted effort, so I don't.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
