Suggested relationship

[siroli]

When I download my FF matches to CSV, there is a "suggested relationship" against some matches. Why does FF provide this for some matches, but not for others? What criteria does FF use to calculate this suggested relationship? Thanks.

Not sure of criteria, but matches with no relationship assigned are termed Speculative.

they can be anywhere between 4th and 20th cousins.

Do you mean you have suggested relationships with other FTDNA customers who you don't know that are appearing as possible 4th to Remote cousins? This happens to me too, but I never downloaded anything. I just clicked on "Matches."
