Dear Barton, If you take a look at http://kquilting.homeserver.com/23andme/ref.html and then click on the link to "Distant relatives, non-endogamous" you can download a spreadsheet that has this information in it. If you have Ann Turner's book Trace Your Roots with DNA, review p. 120. Sincerely, Tim Janzen -----Original Message----- From: autosomal-dna-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:autosomal-dna-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Barton Lewis Sent: Saturday, October 05, 2013 9:53 PM To: autosomal-dna@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUTOSOMAL-DNA] once removed etc. Dear list, I seem to recall seeing that for purposes of amount of DNA shared, a cousin once removed is roughly equivalent to the next higher number (e.g. 2nd cousin once removed is = to third cousin). Is this correct? What about cousins twice or thrice removed? How are those amounts quantified? Thank you.

I've added some more statistics for "once removed" cousins to the autosomal DNA statistics page in the ISOGG Wiki: http://www.isogg.org/wiki/Autosomal_DNA_statistics I wonder if there are any clever programmers out there who might be able to create web tool or spreadsheet that will allow people to input a relationship and generate the average percentage.
