2 things. I asked my mother and she refused.
The other thing , I use gedmatch and one of their features is they show which chromosome you match on. ie I will match with another person on Chromosone 18
My question is if we match on Ch18 if I then search all my CH18 matches then we ALL should have a closer paper match we can identify, is this correct? ( not sure if this will make sense)
You can put your Chr18 matches in a spreadsheet then sort them by start point. You will see distinct groups where the segments match or overlap. It is possible that some of these people share a common ancestor with you. You would need to use the One to one tool with each against the other to see if they share DNA with each other as well as you. What you will probably find is two groups within all those groups. One group will be related through your mother, the other through your father. You might know which through existing paper trails.
Not very well explained, but google Triangulation. Gedmatch has a Tier One Triangulation Tool that will do the heavy lifting and sorting on all chromosomes.
No that was good thank you
