I have done the genealogy and the Tier One tools for two adopted women whose autosomal DNA indicates are first cousins, once removed. Can I please send the analysis to one of you pros to confirm that the father of the older woman is the grandfather of the younger woman? I want to rule out the grandfather's brother. I am a beginner with DNA, and feel a heavy responsibility for accuracy here. Please answer privately to [email protected] Thank you very much! Linda Wolfe Kelley Portland, OR, USA

Linda, did you test the male in question? If yes, compare the X-chromosomes of both women to the male’s X. Since fathers pass their X to their daughter(s), you should see 196.1cM match between the father and his daughter. The granddaughter will have much less if the path between is her mother. If the path between is the younger woman’s father, then there is likely zero X-matching because the grandfather’s X-chromosome is not inherited by his son.
