third cousin once removed sorted by

relevance

Some of the "third cousin" DNA matches are actually third cousins in a genealogical sense, but others might be second cousins, half-second cousins, third cousins once or twice-removed, double-fourth cousins, etc.

Third cousins share great-great grandparents.

Although the largest fourth cousin share 65cM occurred with no female meiosis events in the direct lineage from the common ancestral couple, the next highest share was only 11cM.

You would share the same dna as a 5th cousins.

This is because your relative is two more generations further away from the common ancestor than you are.

We also added one Gen 6 participant, Cobourg-D, as she shares a significant amount of atDNA with Cobourg-E and Cobourg-H.

With two relationships Cobourg08 and Cobourg-H , Cobourg-J shared at or above triple the amount of DNA that one would have expected.

In the example David and Edward are cousins-in-law.

MEIOTIC EVENTS Finally, I wanted to see if meiotic events had an influence on the sharing among the 43 fourth cousin pairs.
