   DNA match with relative is 4.27%

   From: cmonopolishea@gmail.com   
      
   I have connected with a relative identified as matching 4.27% of my DNA. I am   
   searching for my birth father and he is the closest relative that has popped   
   up. He thinks he's my first cousin once removed which means my birth father is   
   his cousin. That    
   said, there doesn't seem to be a match of his cousins. I also connected with   
   someone at 2.12% who is the nephew of the first relative. This would mean the   
   nephew is my second cousin.   
      
   What I'm wondering is it reasonable with 4.27% match that he is my first   
   cousin once removed? Is that enough of a dna match? Or should I consider that   
   my birth father may be his second cousin which totally expands who this may be   
   but harder for my    
   relative to pin down, as he doesn't know all his second cousins.
