Mum's DNA
40 matches to her JONES  cousin up to 20 cm
Her father had 6 full siblings and 4 half siblings

Putting surname Jones gives over 200 SM and doesn't have a cm cut off point

Going back to shared matches with cousin adding filter of JONES name in tree I only got 12 shared matches lowest was 23cm

By comparison only 8 matches from DNA shared matches with her half cousin as her mother only had 1 sister

Is this a record 136 matches to a second cousin in USA
This is on the Jewish side her
Great grandfather had 12 children with first wife 3 with second wife
And the eldest child was born in 1870 youngest in 1903  so plenty of time to have descendants

Also 8 of them emigrated to USA where DNA tests seem to be more popular
