Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: What's the largest cM DNA match you have where you can't identify the link?
« on: Wednesday 14 August 19 07:07 BST (UK) »
I have 1,941 cM across 66 segments showing 'Close Family–1st Cousin' match but receive no reply from message sent, so cannot identify the link.
I can only assume the match is from my mother's older sister who had to have her 5 children adopted when she discovered her husband was a bigamist with another wife. This happened in 1939 depression years when my aunt had no means with which to support her children after her husband left.
My second match is 938 cM across 51 segments '1st–2nd Cousin' , 893 cM across 37 segments '1st–2nd Cousin ' & from on from there are 336 more 2nd–3rd Cousin or 4th - 5th.
A couple down the line I can see the connections and have enjoyed growing my family and joining the dots.
