I received my results and my first glance at 11.30pm local time is at matches all 978 of them
Is that common? Mostly 2nd cousin-4th cousin and more etc. What level of shared relationship would this be? I also note ''shared centimorgans'' and ''longest block'' which I may need to delve into FAQs . As an example I have a 73 centimorgans with what looks to be my top match. My longest block is 41 with this being my 5th best match at 62 centimorgans whereas my 73 CM has only 11 longest blocks.
Fascinating and exciting. Quick look at origins . Hmm 14% Metal man from Tbilsi in Georgia ( formerly USSR)
47% farmer from Aleppo Syria
39% Hunter-Gatherer from Egypt.
Origins is 96% European and 3% Middle Eastern which confirms the Ancient Origins piece and based on my own and others family search looks solid.
Which follows the ancient pathways from Africa with 1 path splitting one side of the Black Sea. Fairly standard but no Aboriginal which was the background noise in our family story.
One of my matches is encouraging as it confirms one line of my mothers to Sussex and Kent. Ok more looking less typing. Thanks for any help or answers or just taking the time to read.
