1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a computing system and from a first user and a second user, opt-in elections to consent to being presented with information about potential relatives among a plurality of users in a relative finder database, wherein the relative finder database comprises recombinable deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence information of the plurality of users, including that of the first user and the second user;
determining, by the computing system, identical-by-descent (IBD) segments of the recombinable DNA of the first user and the recombinable DNA of the second user based on common patterns of nucleotides between the first user and the second user;
determining, by the computing system, a number of the IBD segments and an amount of the recombinable DNA shared by the first user and the second user;
based on the number of the IBD segments and the amount of the recombinable DNA shared by the first user and the second user, estimating, by the computing system, a relative relationship between the first user and the second user; and
providing, by the computing system and for display on a client device of the first user or the second user, a representation of a graphical user interface indicating the relative relationship between the first user and the second user.
