Hi I'm new to all this. I recently done a DNA test and have just received the results. It's showing alot of matches, but a few I'm unsure of or what to make of them. One came back saying we shared 18% DNA on my fathers side another one saying we shared 11% DNA again on my fathers side. I contacted both these people, the one that was 11% said she's never heard of the name I gave her. Strangely enough she is related to the person that shares 18% DNA with me. I haven't a clue who they are, but my father was a only child so how can they be related to me. I also recently found out that my dad's father was married before he met my grandmother. Can anyone share any light on this as I'm totally confused. I have a 2ND cousin on my mothers side who I know and I only share 7% DNA with her. Tracey
