DNA match

[cathieee]

hi ,i m from merseyside, but mainly only because my great nan moved here with my nan from ireland, so not really from round here, my nans dads side were from kent before ireland ,its this side i can get back to 1500 s, my dads side was mainly irish too before moving to liverpool, but i only know a great x 4 aunt went to USA on his side and 3 pilcher brother s on my nans side, im in contact with some pilcher decents, have been for a couple of years now, nothing to do with DNA test, one cousin who s my 3 rd cousin shows up way down the list saying he s my 5 th or distant cousin when our grandmothers were cousins, so presumably these 3 rd cousins im being shown are closer than he is ??, dont make no sense to me lol
