1st close match

14 November 2007, 09:53 AM

I have my first close match and at 34 markers we have a gd of 1. Is this a big deal? I have been told some of my markers were unusual and any close match would be significant. ysearch id id PFGV7.
thanks for your feedback

This may be a big deal. 33/34 match is close to a 50% Probabilty of a commmon ancestor in the last 4 generations. DYS448 is not one of the fast mutators, so it would appear you have good reason to pursue this lead.
