Hello
I have recently had my DNA results from Ancestry, mostly what I expected 90% Ireland & Scotland, the places in Ireland aren’t where I expected, that’s a job for another day, working out where they came from to where they ended up. Got loads of 3rd & 4th cousins into the mix, & can see where they fit into my tree, been in touch with a few which was nice.
However the one person I’m puzzled about is a 1st – 2nd cousin we share 687 cM across 28 segments, which compared to the 3rd & 4th cousins in really high, I won’t mention any names as this person is still living, I’ve had a look on the person’s tree & been in contact with her nephew who manages it for her & neither her or the nephew have any knowledge of any one in my tree, or me with the woman’s tree.
The only information in common with my self & the woman is that both our ancestors came from a particular area in Glasgow.
As the DNA seems to indicate that myself & the woman share at the very least great grandparents I’m puzzled as to where we connect.
Could this situation perhaps be a NPE? My mother was illegitimate & perhaps a male in this womans’ line is my mother’s father.
Any ideas on how I can pursue this further would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Patricia
