Her kit is now up on gedmatch and she matches my first cousin for a whopping 770 cms with a longest 100 cm She matches me for 660 cms with a longest 71 cm So it's pretty clear that this woman has to be my first cousin, perhaps half-first cousin How do you tell someone that their parents are not their parents? That they were adopted, and not only that, but illegitimate, and not only that..... That they learned Swedish for naught (the parents they thought they had were Swedish immigrants), because they have no Swedish blood in them whatsoever.... -----Original Message----- From: Wjhonson <wjhonson@aol.com> To: rpaine <rpaine@vom.com>; genealogy-dna <genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tue, Dec 29, 2015 1:36 pm Subject: Re: [DNA] My first NPE Well she matches me as a second cousin, but that could just be the drift you get across generations.

I check my matches every day. Yesterday a new match popped up as a "second cousin" Her tree is online and we share *no* surnames even, back to the fourth generation. She matches not only me, but three of my own cousins, apparently closely (looking into how closely now) She is baffled of course by this. I suspect my uncle might be her father. ------------------------------- 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

It may be useful and relevant to find out why she tested in the first place... people generally know these things, even if only vaguely, and without proof.
