Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: My Heritage DNA results

Hi Gadget,
Thanks that's very interesting. It's 163.4 which the chart says is 52% probability of half 2nd cousins. The autosomal wiki chart is leaning towards half 2nd cousins as well. The other factor in this is that I have my Grandmother's wedding certificate from 1920 and the box for her father's name is left blank, while one of the witnesses was Thomas Drummond (who everyone in the family believed to be her father). She is named on the certificate as Charlotte Gilroy, her birth name. She's on the 1911 Census as Charlotte Drummond, but I guess she had just taken the name (or been given it as she was only 11 in 1911). The family story was that they got married after her birth, but it was actually 4 years after the birth and that was a few months before my 2nd cousin's grandmother was born so that looked like a rush to the altar. I think this result is just backing that up.
