Do these matches have the same contact person?

Yes.

Those are likely links of an uncle or aunt to a niece or nephew, or a grandparent to a grandchild, half siblings, or double first cousins.

The top looked progenitor/offspring to me. Followed by half sibling. Followed by half nieces/nephews. That was what I was thinking of the results.

When I transferred from the usual Gedmatch to Genesis, It brought up about a dozen bizarre matches which were an error.

You could identify them because, although they showed on the one-to-many list, some very high up my table ( 9 in the top 70), if you went further, and did a 1-to-1 match comparison, it told you you had 0 cM of common DNA.  I had to email gedmatch, and they resolved the problem!!

In the attachments of my 2nd post are a couple of the 1-to-1 comparisons. They're consistent with the one-to-many match results; very high in cM count.

I'm still somewhat expecting (hoping?) it to be an error of some kind.

After months of checking 23&Me for new matches off and on. The closest matches I had were two 2nd cousins. I'd uploaded to Gedmatch many months ago and hadn't really checked it again. They seemed to have even less matches for me.

 I gave Gedmatch another look and it came back with match results that seem (maybe I'm miss interpreting the data) far closer than I imagined possible (see image in link)... Kind of freaking out here. Is this saying what I think it's saying? What are the odds of this being a mistake? I shouldn't have relatives with this much DNA in common with me that I don't know.

Excluding the very top result (a duplicate/ mistake of mine),  the next 5: what would you classify their relationships to me as?


Thanks for the help,
