I’m researching my family tree, purely from interest, and I seem to have got a a very strong match and would appreciate someone with knowledge of DNA to explain and interpret the results.
To give a bit of a background, my late grandfather was apparently a bit of a charmer and managed to have two families with two women at the same time although both women and all the children knew about each other and even shared a household for some time!
I’ve matched with an unknown person, but there is no clue in their public online Ancestry tree where any link might be. I’ve messaged them twice, several months apart, and firstly they were a ‘bit busy’ and the latest reply was that their computer is broken. I’m taking from this that they don’t want to connect, which is completely understandable, although it does seem puzzling they’re even on a genetic research site if that’s the case.
The results indicate we are related 3.7 generations back, so fairly close. Our CMS are 44.4 and SNPs 6397. My question is; is it possible this person is potentially a child of my grandfather too? He was from overseas and maintained regular contact with his home country. This person also happens to be from there too.
I’ve attached a screen shot if it helps.
