My reason for having my DNA tested, was to find out more about my father's paternal line

Hi RBC,

I can not see where you see a mix up, if you can let me know some more details of where you see a problem I am happy to help.

Regards

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Apologies. I have read my original post which was very confusing for the readers. I then became confused by the changes in the headings. By the time I read the post from Skoosh I had lost the plot completely. Thank you to all who tried to help me decide if I had found my mother's paternal grandfather. I would now like the thread to be closed.

RBC.

Don't close it yet RBC!

The weight of evidence that you have (from what you have said) could mean you have identified your gt-grandfather.  But Mr X is also correct in that it COULD be the brothers. 

That's where other circumstantial evidence (i.e. paper trail) might help.  For example, if any of the brothers were out of town 8-10 months before your grandfather was born that would rule them out.

For some kits I manage here are the amounts of shared DNA with various cousins.  If you and this man have the same gt-grandfather you would be half-second cousins.  If you have the same gtgt-grandparents you are 3rd cousins.

Person S:
MM (2nd cousin) - total 165cM, longest 40cM
BW (3C) - 120 and 40
RM (3C) - 116 and 19
MD (3C) - 86 and 23
JP (2C1R) - 88 and 41
RS (2C) - 61 and 25
HT (3C) - 55 and 12
JB (3C) - 39 and 10
FA (3C1R) - 36 and 13
CG (1/2 4C) - 36 and 14
CJ (1/2 4C1R) - 32 and 8

Person P (sibling of S):
MM (2C) - 157 and 52
RM (3C) - 149 and 26
BW (3C) - 108 and 21
RS (2C) - 82 and 35
MD (3C) - 79 and 23
JP (2C1R) - 79 and 21
HT (3C) - 68 and 16
JB (3C) - 59 and 18
FA (3C1R) - 38 and 13
CG (1/2 4C) - 32 and 12
CJ (1/2 4C1R daughter of above - must have some segments that match from her father) - 51 and 13

So, as you can see, sometime a more distant relative shares more than a closer one.

hurworth.

Thank you very much for your encouragement. The details of your post were just what I needed. I will now start the process of elimination. How can I change the Heading of the Thread to prevent further confusion? I am not searching for my Father's Paternal line here.

The heading can be amended RBC if you let me know the details.
