I have a 1C2R who is female and on Ancestry the pink icon was present when she first tested a few months after me five years ago. She matched me 733 cM over 28 segments which is beyond what should be for a 1C2R.
• 82%Great-Grandparent Great-Aunt / Uncle Half Aunt / Uncle 1C Half Niece / Nephew Great-Niece / Nephew Great-Grandchild
• 18%Great-Great-Aunt / Uncle † Great-Great-Niece / Nephew † Half Great-Aunt / Uncle † Half Great-Niece / Nephew † Half 1C 1C1R
About a month later the icon changed to the blue male icon, and I am pretty sure that it is her father’s DNA who is my 1C1R, he being the son of my paternal grandfather’s brother.
My sister matches this person 499 cM over 20 segments and my mother matches 436 cM over 15 segments. My parents were second cousins and I think that is why I match much more than I should.
