However, the cousin above is definitely my second cousin and I only share 1.07% of my DNA with her, while my first cousins who share the same relationship with her have 4.49% and 4.69% in common with her. This tells us that the inheritance at this level is already so random that the actual percentages can vary widely and one cannot read too much into a low sharing with one member of the family without testing other family members.Your Genetic Genealogisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14696248341534125135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-89494449623917917682011-07-24T19:34:14.154-07:002011-07-24T19:34:14.154-07:00I've got a paper trail 2nd cousin who shares 1...I've got a paper trail 2nd cousin who shares 1.23% over 6 segments. 23and me says she is most likely a 3rd cosuin, range 2nd-3rd. My suspicious mind says she could be somewhere in between. Yet to put my mind to that issue of what cousinship that is if my grandmother's much older sister was her actual mother which is what I have thought for a long time now. If that's the case that would certainly help to explain why none of her father's ancestors have shown up and my abundance of Rhineland folk on RF and AF.Aussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12854005249862974451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-58589347212610743652011-07-24T15:03:01.981-07:002011-07-24T15:03:01.981-07:00I completely agree, Jim.

It is possible for us to determine a narrower inheritance path. I have another second cousin in the cue to be tested (number 3). She should provide some interesting results. <br /><br />JimJim Owstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13489905161227202406noreply@blogger.com
