So.. I can't find the answer to this anywhere online.
My test and a known male third cousin both match one lady. but in the chromosome browser we dont seem to share any similar segments.
It's my understanding that if you share a similar or exact segment with someone it's a fairly good indication that it's been inherited from common ancestors - depending on size of segment I guess, and keeping in mind the two different pieces of each chromosome...
So how come Our "in common with" match doesn't line up??
