10th cousin match - is it possible

[LizzieL]

For reasonably close relatives I can work it out but going back several generations with more than one relationship gets complicated. I have a Thomas Ryde who is my 10 x great grandfather and K's 11 x great grandfather. But the same Thomas may also be my 11 x great grandfather going down the other side of the cousin marriage. I think the couple were 1C1R not simple first cousins, but still too verify. records a bit sparse in the 16 and 1700s, but luckily they had property and left wills. The downside is most of the men were called Thomas or Gabriel and most of the women were called Mary

It looks as if you are double cousins - and it could be one generation out, so - maybe - 11C1R and 12C1R. I'd have to look at the chart to be certain.

I (my mother's test) have multiple matches to people descended from my 7th, 8th and 9th great grandparents on the TREWARTHA line. They seem to have had some very strong genetics!

The furthest match I've had with someone on my mother's DNA test is my 10th great grandparents on a different line, UGLOW, also from Cornwall.

It is entirely possible that I am related in several ways, I just haven't found the others yet.

I've got quite a few 20+ grandparents , via one of those 'posh' ancestors, but I don't put them on my tree. I rather like the fact that I, like millions of others, am descended from Eleanor of Aquitaine
