Well done Margaret. I knew it was a good idea. I'm retired now but a long time ago somebody said don't ever find ways of improving your own job as you will have to adapt to change. However if you can see good ways of other people improving their jobs you will get the credit and they will have to make the changes. I hope this thread runs and runs.

Here’s a couple of blog articles by Donna Rutherford that I found incredibly helpful when I started with DNA research:

A Beginner's Adventure in Genetic Genealogy (a work in progress) by Paddy Waldron (29/1/2019); a bit more advanced imo is his critique of current methodology "Measuring the length, relevance and rarity of matching segments" from 2014. A great deal for anyone to digest...

A picture speaks a thousand words. I found two pictures in these two articles from thednageek (site already mentioned in an earlier post) to be particularly enlightening.
The figure 5.2 graph here (note there are two versions of it in the article - the one mentioning meioses, and the one I found useful) - https://thednageek.com/the-limits-of-predicting-relationships-using-dna/ (https://thednageek.com/the-limits-of-predicting-relationships-using-dna/)
The graph/cluster chart with lots of little coloured circles near the bottom of this one https://thednageek.com/meiosis-schmeiosis/ (https://thednageek.com/meiosis-schmeiosis/) (the figure 5.2 graph is in here too)
They go together particularly well with the chart at The Shared cM Project 4.0 tool v4 mentioned in the first post on this thread. Look at all three and then, like me, you'll think you understand it all ! ;)
