Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Need help confirming % of shared DNA
« on: Tuesday 07 January 25 22:45 GMT (UK)  »
Thankyou so much for your help. It's frustrating that so many people have passed now we'll likely never know the truth. I'll keep checking and hopefully a DNA match comes up in the future that clarifies everything.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Need help confirming % of shared DNA

Thanks so much for your replies. There is 345cM shared between the two granddaughters Sarah and Alice.

The grandson of Jane's half brother from his own marriage has 361cM shared with Alice and 273cM with Sarah.

The reason I'm a little suspicious is because my grandmother never knew who her biological parents were, it was a big family secret and we only found out the truth after she died. It's also strange that Alices DNA matches can ALL be linked to her paternal side or her maternal grandmother. I know it's not impossible but it's odd that not a single descendent of her grandfather or distant relative has done an ancestry DNA test.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Need help confirming % of shared DNA

I suspect that my grandmother who married and had a daughter(Jane) had an affair with her half brother whom she shared a mother with and produced another daughter(Mary). Could someone help me work out what the cms or shared percentage of DNA would be between these sisters and their own children?

Jane married and had a daughter(Sarah) and Mary married and had a daughter(Alice). Sarah is showing DNA matches with both grandparents but Alice is only showing matches with her grandmother and they're closer than Sarah's. I'd just like to confirm if this hypothesis could explain it. Thanks :)
