Goodness can I swap kits with both of you???
To give you an idea of what chaos I'm trying to sort out-
KIT #1 (father's day present 2019)- has 7764 matches. We can positively identify relationship with FIVE (yes 5) of these people (3 brothers on maternal side who are 5th cousins and 2 siblings on paternal side who are 5th cousins once removed). However, there are numerous other matches with people we know personally (none of us clear how related). Highest DNA match is 105 cm (no response).
KIT #2 (September birthday present)- has 8155 matches. Parents were 2nd cousins once removed so we haven't even been able to sort out paternal & maternal relations. Related to KIT #1 and many matches are shared but since #1 has two lines from same surname can't pinpoint exact relationship. Highest match is 90 cm (suspect comes in through illegitimate child a few generations ago)
KIT #3 (mother's day present 2019)- has 5544 matches. Though this would be easiest since each grandparent has distinct origins (Ireland, Canada, Germany, U.S.). Highest match 255 cm (2nd cousin) and only 17 confirmed relationships although can figure out where others might be related. Quite a few matches with KIT #3 and even with Kit #2.
Now are you sure you want to swap with me
