Diana, I have a known cousin, her ggg-grandmother and my ggg-grandfather are brother and sister. She and I do not have an atDNA match, BUT we both have a match to a man who is a descendant, we think, of the brother of our gggg-grandfather. Go figure. Either situation is possible with your non-match. Marleen Van Horne
We have tested 4 siblings, a first cousin once removed, two second cousins and one third cousin from the same line. The last person tested was the third cousin. All of us match one another, except for the third cousin. She and I do not match each other. (I am the one who paid for her test....LOL!) This is the perfect example of the randomness of autosomal DNA inheritance :o) Mary Mitchell Guler ________________________________ ______________________________ For answers to Frequently Asked Questions about mailing lists, please see: http://dgmweb.net/MailingListFAQs.html ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
