    so seems yes, 3000 diff. In number of matches can be totally normal.

    if you have 400 matches and he has 3400 matches - I would think probably not normal.
    Are you partially a member of an endogamous population, by any chance?


    Yes, we're both 3/4 Ashkenazi Jewish.

    FTDNA switched to the GSA chip in April 2019. So V2 after that date.


    I have 7174 matches on the V1 chip. I am super Colonial and very Engish/Germanic on both sides and slightly endogamic. But I cant give any sibling comparisons (Sorry)

    Thanks again for your answer Georgian. How do I check this though?

    My siblings have not tested, but for what it's worth, I have 7304 FF matches, my Canadian born mother 4943, and my 17% Ashkenazi (down from 19% the last time I checked) step daughter 14,547.

    I tested much later than him actually. Why? Also, how many matches do you (and your siblings) have?
