Dear Tim Thank you for your reply, it is much appreciated. Regards Kerrie Dear Kerrie, Ancestry.com only displays the matches who share DNA with people like Brian if they share more than 20 cMs. Your other relatives may not be sharing more than 20 cMs with Brian. A 4th cousin 3 times removed relationship is distant enough that the descendents on that ancestral line may not all share DNA with each other. I suggest you have Brian and your other relatives upload to GEDmatch where you can run the comparisons that you need to run. Sincerely, Tim Janzen Subject: [DNA] Question on shared matches I found a 4th cousin 3 times removed (Brian) through a DNA match with Ancestry. This is through my paternal grandfather's maternal grandmother and her brother who is Brian's ancestor (hope that makes sense). When I looked at the shared ancestry of Brian we only share two matches who are closely related to him. Why did other matches I have on my paternal grandfather's side not show up as matches with Brian? Does this mean that I have my great great grandmother's DNA which I share with Brian but my other cousins on my grandfather's side do not have this DNA?
