DNA 3rd cousin and second cousin once removed

[brigidmac]

I wonder if someone could check my hypothesis for my mum's DNA

I've found connections to her russian Jewis grandfather GJF thru His paternal side and confirmed the relatinship

Now I have worked out connections via a lady I believe to be his maternal aunt
Anna landman I have no paper proof that  she is the sister of our  Geis Ada LANDSMAN but Anna had 4 sons with Isaac Bloomberg

1 match via eldest son  would be mum's 3rd cousin  they match at 97 cm ( matches my DNA at 22cm )

The other match via eldest son  is grandson of Isaac Bloomberg + Anna Landman b1860 so is mum's Second cousin onc removed
Match 102 cm to my mother (27cm to me)

Shouldn't it be higher as it is a generation closer to the mutual ancestors

Paper trail does show that all the elders lived in Jacobstadt Courland Latvia Russia  beteen 1850''-1880's

I'm wondering if the second cousin once removed has actually put his father as home person  so if it's his own DNA he would be a third cousin too
Any opinions ?

This is research done into Landsman /Landman connections if anyone is interested

I'd like to know if DNA corroberates

Do the numbers fit with other people's results for half second or third cousins ??

102Cm gives 39% half 2C, 2C1R etc and 30% 3C, half 2C1R etc

Mine are so variable
For 2C1R I have 37 / 4 segments and 34/3
for 3C   I have 58/5 and 45/4
for 3C1R  I have 90/7, 62/5, 49/4, 35/4, 31/2, 29/1 and 25/2 a huge variation
but I have a 5C at 25/1
5C1R at 22/1 but a 4C at 21/1

These are from different branches of the family. My 3C at 58/5 is the uncle of my 3C1R at 31/2,

I have two half third cousins once removed, who are first cousins to each other (their fathers were brothers to each other), they are 62/4 and 32/2, so one is almost half the other. The son of the 32/2 is 18/1 (half 3C 2R)

Thanks for the painter definition + your concrete examples

The amounts are so variable
It's interesting that even within same family group it can vary so much

So I can't pinpoint the generations
But will persist and maybe contact more of the people who seem to match thru the lines I've traced .

Just had a look on my tree where I have 2nd Cousins of the same Generation as I they are directly related to my Great Uncle.

3rd Cousins add an extra generation and a whole lot of extra potential people.

My seven 3rd Cousins results that I have there is one with 144Cm they go down to one with 91Cm, and only those with a Family Tree and a known Common Ancestor have I been able to link to (the one with 91Cm).

I don't know how significant segments are .
I've built up my tree sideways and one of these people now shows up on thru lines as half 3rd cousin 97cm 3 segments

The 102/ 7 segment match has no tree but from owner's name I think he is half 2nd cousin 1 X removed

There are some smaller matches from same line but they have no trees or small trees .
