Hi CeCe That is really the question. If I understand right, the fact that my granddaughter, my daughter and I all share the same match at the same location would indicate that the match came along maternal lines, or can I say that only as far as to myself? The notes on 23andMe state: "If you and your mom both have a segment in the same location, this shows that you got that segment from your mom and therefore are likely to be related to the common relative through your mom." Does that mean along the maternal line back to the common relative, or only back to me as the last in the line to have a test result? And what does it mean for the person who matches us? Can she be related on either the maternal or paternal line? -----Original Message----- From: autosomal-dna-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:autosomal-dna-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of CeCe Moore Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2013 11:28 AM To: Autossomal DNA List Subject: Re: [AUTOSOMAL-DNA] Question based on results Hi Constance, Yes, it is a very steep learning curve - just keep reading all that you can. As to your question, why did you reach the conclusion that the match is most likely on both of your maternal lines?
