    1. [AUTOSOMAL-DNA] Two sets of Common Ancestors

    3. How does Family Finder handle it when 2 people have two sets of ancestors in common. Is it likely that the relationship might be predicted to be closer than it really is because you are matching DNA from both lines? Thank you.

    3. Yes, you have increased the chances of inheriting some DNA in common. This occurs a lot for some population groups that intermarry a lot (Ashkenazi Jews, Mennonites, island populations like Puerto Rico, etc.) Ann On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 6:22 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > How does Family Finder handle it when 2 people have two sets of ancestors > in common.
