|    DNA match with relative is 4.27%    |
|    18 Oct 20 07:46:54    |
      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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
