Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Identifying someone with a really large DNA match

Take a breath Lizzie. Have you worked out broadly which side he belongs to, paternal or maternal.
My 4 half first cousins match me at 572, 514, 496 and 483, all on ancestry. Same grandmother, different grandfathers. From experience I know that numbers on My Heritage are bigger than on Ancestry so half first cousin would be reasonable to me.
It is a pain that you can’t email my heritage matches. I suggest to look carefully and see if you can build or extend a tree. Mind you finding the male responsible is a hard job, especially as in my case there were 5 possible brothers living in the area at time of conception.
Added: don’t discount any on looks. I look nothing like any of my half first cousins.
