Anyone?
Chromosome Browser. Am I right in thinking that the TOTAL of cM for another match is not as important as the AVERAGE of cM which fall over a number of segments?
For example, the match I have with the highest total cM (60.29 over 22 segments) has an average less that my FTDNA presumed closest cousin, whose 51.59 cM fall over 15 segments.
The higher is shown as 4th to Remote, while the other example is shown as Third cousin.
Both have names and locations which are feasible as connections.
So I'm guessing it is the average, when you see the table and pull it into an excel file. Why isn't an average shown in the chromosome browser?
Am I off track here?
