Title: GEDmatch.Com - X-DNA Comparison?
Post by: Lisa in California on Friday 15 December 17 19:08 GMT (UK)

Thank you for the previous assistance regarding DNA and gedmatch.  :)

Would anyone know, please, what "No shared X-DNA segments found" implies?

Also, may I ask what is the difference between Autosomal and X, please?  (After a brief search on the internet, I'm no wiser regarding the difference.)  These were the choices when I tried a One-to-many DNA comparison.

Thank you in advance for any guidance.  Kind regards, Lisa

Hi Margaret:

Thank you very much for referencing the link; it is easier to understand with the charts included (I'm a "visual learner").  ;)

I appreciate your time and providing the great link.  Lisa
