There is no such thing as anonymous DNA.

Your DNA may be out there without any link to you. However if your brothers DNA is also out there but is however linked to him, then by comparison the fact that your DNA is a sibling of his, is easily determined. In fact this is the whole point of the current "Find you ancestors" craze.
