Hello,
I've just received an intriguing match in FF, 163.5cM total, and a 49.5cM longest segment. Two others over 10cM: 18cM and 13cM. Predicted second cousin.
While I am Ashkenazi, and I've seen more than my share of false positives (or perhaps just overly aggressive prediction), I've never personally seen a continuous segment this large outside of parents, even with known 2nd cousins. My question to the group is: Is 49.5cM a reasonable large value suggesting close relation, or have you seen segments really last beyond second cousins without getting recombined into something smaller?
