I have established a connection with a person of the same surname and origin, no great surprise, both of us 37 marker GD-2 (one only); 67 marker GD-4 (one only);
I appear as one of 5 on his 25 marker GD-2 and he appears as one of 3 on my test at that level.
What I find surprising is that I have 23 exact matches at 12 marker, he has just 1, neither of us appearing in each other's test at this level.
Both of us grew up in the same geographical area and our families would have intermarried with much the same pool of people, but probably not with one another.
I realise that the 12 marker test is disregarded for most purposes, but this discrepancy intrigues me.
Could it be that I uploaded my results to Y-Search, but have not as yet got permission to do that for his?
Thank you.
I should add that we share the same Haplogroup R-L48, I have progressed to R-L47, which has a relatively low frequency in Ireland
