Hi everyone,
Apologies if this is an obvious question, but I haven’t been able to find an answer elsewhere.
My Y-DNA test results have come back as follows
*37 markers – 5 matches – all with a genetic distance of 4
*25 markers – 62 matches – all with a genetic distance of 2
*12 markers – 356 matches – all with a genetic distance of 1 or 0
I was, however, expecting that the 37 markers test would show those more closely related to me – in terms of ‘genetic distance’ - but the opposite seems to be the case i.e. the 12 marker test has produced 356 matches that are all closely related?
Am I understanding this correctly? (probably not
)
Thanks
Adam
