Hi davidft
I’ve had contact with him he’s only on Ancestry at the moment, I messaged him yesterday waiting for his reply we don’t seem to have any shared matches & as matches don’t seem to show up in all cases on Ancestry I sent him a list of my closest matches to see if there’s any cross over.
I’m on Ancestry, gedmatch & ftdna I was hoping to ask him to add his result to gedmatch but to be honest I don’t really understand how to used it at the moment I’ve been watching lots youtube videos to learn, I’ve just been trying to learn about x-DNA!
I’ve been on
http://gliesians.com/autosomal-analyzer.faces trying to figure out how we could be related and I just can’t make the info I have fit with data it’s because of the dates nothing fits quite right.
I’ve got this relationship chart
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kordyban/chart/relationship_chart.html It’s helped me visualize it, to be a second cousin it works out that one of my -
2x grandparents (had a child)
1st child (who had a child my - Great Aunt/Uncle)
2nd Child (who had a child my - 1st cousin once removed)
3rd Child (who had a child my 2nd cousin)
That option will not fit to 2nd cousin as my 2x grandparents were born between 1896 – 1902 my DNA matches mother (1st child) was born 1919 he (2nd child) was born 1940’s, that would make him my Half 1st cousin once removed which looks most probable to me.
Unless the connections on his father’s side somewhere!!!
Hopefully he can add his detail to gedmatch then I will have to learn how to use it
Thanks
