My ancestry username is: heatherlizybeth93
I had dna matches w/ “McMahan” in their trees, but no “ Dearcos”. We only have one mutual dna match on here- & according to “How Are We Related?” feature— we’re related thru my maternal grandmother’s side.
I only share 1,696 cM w/ my Opa (my maternal Grandfather) on Ancestry— it originally stated he was another type of close relative, and i had to call Ancestry up😅 they originally had me convinced for a hot minute, that there was another secret scandal in the family😅😅😅..So..genetic inheritance can be weird w/ how the amount we inherit from each ancestor can vary so..
I haven't uploaded my dna to genome link yet- so i can’t really say for certain what that means.. But, if they’re (the dna test site) is suggesting it, and saying thats the amount y’all share— then i’m sure thats correct, or he’s damn close.
Unless they (like, a household) did a bunch of dna tests at once, and ended-up accidentally mixing-up the kit-#’s they registered w/ the ones they actually tested with..i had a confusing dna match situation like that once.
