Don't they match up mutations or whatever in the genes? Or is that to determine race? lol

Are you talking about a specific person?  Because I don't think DNA tests can tell you directly whether or not you're related to somebody from 500 years ago.  They can speculate and get pretty certain with an answer through figuring out the different mutations and all, but those are much better at indicating ethnic backgrounds than figuring out who exactly your ancestors were.

They can. DNA from two people.
I don't know whether you could tell they were related. But you could make an estimated guess by looking at their characteristics by their genes.

i dont think we have much dna from that long ago, and the changes would be quite different between these two times, so it would be quite vague as to whether or not you are related

dont wonder why im not smiling, wonder why you are.
