Hmm... my early email appears to have not posted properly. The cm count, and yes it is, total cms, is coming from the confidence level (Extremely high = more than 30 cms total shared, see http://www.isogg.org/wiki/Identical_by_descent#AncestryDNA for a full table) directly from Ancestry. Other tools may also produce this information, but it's still extremely vague. ( I don't think AncestryDNA helper records that information but I haven't worked with it a while, and I've not tried DNAGedcom for ancestry matches. ) On Thu, Oct 29, 2015 at 8:55 AM, Michael Fisher via < genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com> wrote: > I imagine Peter is using dnagedcom,com 's tools, Either DNAGedcom Client > Tool or AncestryDNA helper, which produce files containing the CMs of > all matches (total of all CMs ?) which Ancestry uses to rank your > relationship to matches. > > Mike > > On 28/10/2015 23:30, Wjhonson via wrote: > > where are you seeing on Ancestry that you and your match are sharing > 30cms ? > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > GENEALOGY-DNA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without > the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
