[DavNich]

On Ancestry my DNA matches are :-
Paternal     4788
Maternal.   3757
Unassigned 2266
Do you think that my maternal grandparents are fifth cousins explain the above.

Davnich
that's the number of matches that you have not the cm  amounts

Are you asking why you have so many unassigned?

It's just because they are too distant or to small an amount . You can assign matches to one of your parents yourself if you know the connection.

Most of the tests I have access to have far more matches than you

1 with ABT 7000 paternal 5000 maternal has 4800 unassigned

The owner has not added the parental side or the relationship to their matches despite common ancestors showing .

Does that answer your question ?

Regarding my initial post
The family concerned were a  long line of  London cab drivers  surname BRADFORD

I have found more  connections between the patriarchs children

He had twin sons ..in 1875
One of the BRADFORD twins and his
Older brother both married TOTTMAN sisters

So
Thomas j Bradford 1871 married his sister in law

His daughter married his sister's son

Thru lines has adapted  + the highest match has a 3% probability of being a 3Cousin1R
the  match is 116cm 5 segments

I think thru lines are affected

Last year ancestry had a function where alternative common ancestors relationships could be viewed on thru lines that function seems to have disappeared

It's an advantage in a way as they only have 14 great great grandparents instead of 16.

Their late  father had 6 grandparents instead of 8
His DNA results would have been interesting
Does anyone know someone in that situation who has tested?
