Hi everyone!
I am new to the site so am trying to work around the technicalities of the website, though I am quite familiar with genetics. My sister had previously tested my maternal grandmother and grandfather, plus my father (including mtDNA and Y as applicable) several years ago. I just recently tested myself and my son and daughter.
The Family Finder results for myself and my children just came in (my mtNDA and Y on my son is still pending), and we all match each other plus my father and maternal grandfather. However, I don't see any match to my maternal grandmother anywhere! I am waiting to see if my sister can give me login access to my grandmother's kit or at least download data to check on GEDmatch, but this seems very odd to me. I could see matching to her and not grandfather due to NPE, but I have never heard of a NME!
From what I have read, there should never be an instance of not matching a grandparent, even with the worst odds of chromosomal inheritance. Has anyone else had this happen? I am assuming it must be a FF problem, but until I get further details with GEDmatch, I can't say much. I do have the FTDNA kit# for her, but it does me no good as I don't have a "match" to her, so on my end it is as if she doesn't exist.
Appreciate any insight!
