If you s...Logan: Sorry I missed this originally. If you suspect that you are second cousins and are matching at a level consistent with second cousins, it would indirectly confirm your suspicions. Outside of parents and full siblings, the amount shared may represent several possible relationships. It becomes difficult to determine a relationship strictly by the numbers; however, the closer the relationship, the more likely you are to predict the supposed relationship. <br />Jim Owstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13489905161227202406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946578971422285697.post-19754890927751308612014-10-28T23:16:04.033-04:002014-10-28T23:16:04.033-04:00So if a suspected 2nd cousin and I were to get tes...So if a suspected 2nd cousin and I were to get tested, if the match is between 6.92% and .93% would that be proof that we're related and that our family tree research that linked us is valid?Logan Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137779405630279768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946578971422285697.post-20101058697798601632012-04-14T19:53:12.866-04:002012-04-14T19:53:12.866-04:00Glad to be able to help.Glad to be able to help.Jim Owstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13489905161227202406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946578971422285697.post-59422756023953203492012-04-12T14:26:29.094-04:002012-04-12T14:26:29.094-04:00Thanks, very much Jim!

I can actually remember some of the Selma to Montgomery march seen over here on BBC TV when I would have been about 9. Thse are two amazing stories - and just shows what autosomal DNA testing can do - perhaps especially for African-Americans.Brian Swannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15183639886324839008noreply@blogger.com
