TBH 12cM is a reasonable match. Ideally the match should also match one of your parents (if tested)
The WATO tool at DNApainter can help. Use it to look at shared matches.
* caveat - WATO is not great on small matches. DM me if you want a second pair of eyes on it.

It stands for "What are the Odds". It's a very useful tool on DNAPainter: dnapainter.com/tools/probab...
Basically you build out a tree connecting DNA matches to each other and it helps predict how a person connects to these matches.

Thanks. The first draft I used the name on the account since I figured people can just look at it, but then used private on DNApainter for living people who did not test. I was also thinking tester 1, 2, 3, and so on.

in other news, my mom has a new DNA match on Ancestry. They share way more DNA than one of her confirmed 2nd cousins 1x removed. His tree goes back so far that it should show their shared ancestor. It does not. And I gotta say, my dude, dnapainter says there is a 0.02% chance your tree is right...
