I have 5433 total matches at FTDNA611 Paternal1752 Maternal7 Both I have tested kits there for my mother, my full sister, and my paternal half-sister -----Original Message----- From: Marleen Van Horne <msvnhrn@jps.net> To: genealogy-dna <genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tue, Nov 20, 2018 3:56 pm Subject: [DNA] Re: Fwd: Where to get best autosomal results Rhonda, I have just the opposite problem.  I have 842 paternal phased matches and 219 maternal phased matches ,at FTDNA. That said, I have 5 paternal linked matches and 18 maternal linked matches.  The problem w1th my maternal  linked matches is that I have no identified relations for my maternal grandmother. I have 2840 unphased matches, at least some of which must be the ancestors of my grandmother.  Her only brother had no biological grandchildren. A couple of my phased matches go back 11 generations or so, I made a strategic decision to use my FTDNA family tree only to document my linked matches to common ancestors.   I just connected myself to one paternal and one maternal match and the phasing fell into place.  Then I went through their posted pedigrees until I found common ancestors.
