Second cousin DNA match?

[Glen in Tinsel Kni]

 DNA Geeks say 2c is possible at 39cM though the probability is so small it's very unlikely.  Dna painter haven't had a submission below 41. Personally I'd be comparing the shared matches they have with each other, if one doesn't match a group the other has or one has a mystery group of matches that's unique to them it throws doubt on the papertrail they have. That may not be the case but I'd suggest investigating the possibility just to be sur.

Both of my parents have a bullet proof set of certs and I ignored the obvious clues for a while but finally target tested a couple of first cousins, those tests were definitive and showed both my parents are NPE's and those first cousins are actually half 1c's. There must have been a permanent breeze around my granny's houses 100 years ago from the neighbours curtains twitching

Chrissie states in the first post that

RF and CR share 39cM on their DNA match

Where did they get that from is what I was asking. Why are you jumping on my replies when I am only trying to help?

I wasn't but you seemed to be a little muddled.

Re ProTools  - it's worth getting them for a short while as it helps with some of the 'odd' ones.

Yes I think I might do that. I'll make a note of any odd ones and maybe subscribe for a month if that's an option

39 cM between them does not make sense and the 2C relationship is probably very unlikely.

Certainly as advised, subscribe to Pro Tools and compare the Shared Matches.

Also consider that they may not be full Cousins

Thank you everyone for your help, your suggestions and advice. I may investigate this further at a later date but I think for now I will just put it on the pending pile 
Thanks once again
