Dear Debbie, I just uploaded a version of my spreadsheet that includes data on the median and the average number of shared cMs for people who are related to each other from the first cousin once removed level of relationship to the 5th cousin level of relationship to my Dropbox account at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21841126/compare%20genes%20function%20in %2023andMe%20(distant%20relatives%2C%20non-endogamous)(public).xls. The Tiny URL for this is http://tinyurl.com/lgwt7kr. This is an updated version of what is at http://kquilting.homeserver.com/23andme/ref.html. I have additional data to add to this file, but haven't had time to extract all the data I need yet. In any case, I think that some people will find this file of help as they review their personal results. In any case, my general rule of thumb is that when people share less than about 100 cMs or so, the genealogical relationship could range from as close as 2nd cousins to a relatively distant cousin. When you are trying to determine the precise relationship, testing more people and then aggregating the data as I did in my Youngman project at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21841126/Youngman%20DNA%20summary.doc makes the most sense.

Thanks Tim. I've added a link to your Dropbox chart on the autosomal DNA statistics page: http://www.isogg.org/wiki/Autosomal_DNA_statistics Jim, It would be nice to include some data on the range of percentages for any given relationship. At the moment we have no empirical data other than the statistics in Tim's spreadsheet. I will try and incorporate some of Tim's statistics when I have a bit more time. We do say that the percentages cited are averages and that the actual amount will vary.
