DNA bombshell

[Chelle71]

Hello everyone

So looking at DNA matches yesterday and come across someone who matched me 4th-6th cousin 48cm across 5 segments

couldnt figure where we were connected till i went through his people list and there i saw the heart stopper my mothers first husband  ... now im blown away does this mean hes my father and not the man that brought me up

I then looked into his family tree and seen the whole said family name of Mums first husband ... im now at a loss of my next move

Your father ought to match with more than 48cm.

this person with DNA match said that his Grandmother and said fathers Mother were sisters

Have you double checked his tree? 

[Chelle71]

Ive looked into this tree and all the research is correct , the only thing he dosent have is my mums details and the marriage between the said person and my mum , but have all of the said persons family , which i have emailed and awaiting return of email

Modified * may have misunderstood the question

The cm match sounds much further back ..
Maybe they or you missed a generation in their tree
My 37cm- 56 cm matches are  4th cousins or 3rd cousins once removed or second cousins twice removed

Have you checked
 shared matches of this shared match .?
 Do they match other people on your  mother's side ?

Can you link with dna results that have trees that include ancestors of the man you have always believed to be your father?

Hi,
I have a DNA match of the same cm, and it is connect to a sibling of my great-grandmother. So maybe go through your set of great-grandmothers siblings, and follow back down their marriages, and children they had down to the time this match was born.
Good luck !!
