X-match

[Sara291]

Not sure why I don't know . . What does x-match mean. Before the changes at FTDNA I didn't really notice it. Now I notice several people on my son and daughters test results also say x-match. What does this mean and how could I use this info?

Thank you so much for posting this. This is exactly what I was looking for today: What is X-matching and why should I care that it's labeled on my match list. On the page you linked, I found that filling in Jim Turner's chart cleared everything up almost immediately. /Charlotte
