Wow, We are the closest cousins in our "Hamilton" lineage. We have all done our Family Finder kits and one of us is a Male Hamilton Y-DNA kit member (Joe.) We are all either 3rd cousins or closer than half 3rd cousins due to 2nd great grandfather married to sisters (Nancy & Mary) and to top that off, the other female (Mae) 3rd cousin's great grandpa married a daughter of another of 3rd sister (Martha)
Our results are confusing:

Why do I show up in only Chromo 13 with Joe?
and Joe & Mae share Chromos that Mae & I do not share?
