I'm just wondering what other people are coming up with, when you know your parents are distant or closer cousins. My parents are distant cousins, the degree isn't exactly known, but we're proven it with YDNA. Cousin on Mom's side's Y67 matches Dad's Y67, same surname, common ancestor sometime first half of 1700. Gedmatch says "Generally, when the Largest Single-Block Genetic Distance is less than 1, it can be assumed that no relationship exists. If the Largest Single-Block Genetic Distance is greater than 10, then the relationship is probably within the past few generations." For me it comes up : Largest Single-Block Genetic Distance = 0.736 cM Total Genetic Distance = 0.736 cM But for my full sister it's -0-. This utility is pretty cool IMO, and I am curious what it's showing for other people whose parents are cousins. BTW, a 1/2 3rd cousin 1R is showing: Largest Single-Block Genetic Distance = 4.229 cM Total Genetic Distance = 4.229 cM But I haven't figured out where the cousinship comes in on his tree yet. melissa springer robards

Melissa By extending my Tree as part of some atDNA matching research, I learned my parents were 8th cousins, both descending from Sion W HILL. They never knew it. At that level I may not be able to detect it genetically, but I do have an atMatch on Sion W HILL so someday an intermediate match will tell me which side it's on.

Jim, Do you know a Sion L. Hill? His dau Lucinda married John Wesley Talley and I'm tracking that Talley line. Are the two Sion's related. This Sion was born in Dec 1818 and married to Frances Dismukes.
