Tests in the same batch begin their journey together but don't necessarily all finish at the same time.

No you haven't established yet that his is a maternal match. FTDNA reports X matches whether they are large or small, and if they are small they are insignificant. You first have to determine the size of the segment(s) that are shared on the X chromosome. Telling us that this man shares 137 cM means...

Yes, your mom and her half 1C1R are biologically related. As shown they are closely related and proved by DNA. If on paper they show as half 1C1R then the DNA evidence certainly backs that up. Of course others will say you can never prove anything just disprove unless you run many tests and spend...

Thanks. And you also said before that your mother's grandfather married twice so your mom is from one grandmother and the match is from the other. But now this helps because you are saying they are from different generations, the common ancestor is your mother's grandfather but her match's great-grandfather....

Ok, I reread and you are saying your mother and this DNA match share 161 cM's. But you keep changing what you are talking about, in an earlier post you said your mother and uncle shared the same father but not the same mother and now you are saying your mom and this match share the same grandfather...

I wrote a reply but ended up deleting it as I am still confused on the relationship between your mother and this DNA match. Forget about the prediction just let us know how exactly you think you (or your mom) and this match are related. Also I am confused too is this person sharing 161 cM's with you...

These are based on statistics. With any statistics there will be outliers. The percentages try to guide you to relationships that are more likely. If you actually want help you are better off giving more details on your situation then turning this into a discussion on reliability of the tools used in...

What do you mean by "the charts mostly indicate that my match and I are 1C1R"? What charts are you talking about and what makes you think it is telling you that the relationship is 1C1R? The Shared cM Project charts show 1C1R as unlikely. The chart I am looking at gives a median average of...

Yes a bargain that I doubt will work for you. Meanwhile the Holiday sale on their Y-DNA tests has just ended. If you list all the DNA tests you have done in the past we would be able to help you more to see if the transfer is an option for you. If the only previous DNA test you have done is the AncestryDNA...

Jim Barrett must be misunderstanding your question. There is not enough data (or even the correct data) in your autosomal transfer from Ancestry for Y-Chromosome matching here at FTDNA. The Y-DNA transfer link you refer to is not for you, that link is only for those who tested using the old Ancestry...

So you go into Member Subgrouping and you should see a list of already existing subgroups. Select the subgroup you wish to add the first person's results to by clicking the arrow under "Manage". It should bring up all the members of that group on the left and all the ungrouped members should...

He doesn't need to transfer to FTDNA for you to compare just have him send you a copy of the results through email. You don't need to learn anything to compare, each marker has a name. So marker 393 read what is in his box and compare to your results for marker 393 etc. There are a few markers that...

Hopefully when she gets her Ancestry results it will lead to more close matches. Yes, that is typical not everyone will be able (or willing) to help but in those cases you will have to do your best to use what information you can to identify the match and build a tree for each close match. Eventually...

Maybe you are not seeing all your matches at the threshold you want because they have a 2000 match limit. So if you are over that then you will only see your closest 2000 matches on the One to Many list. Maybe if you upgrade to the Tier 1 level and use the One to Many tool under the Tier 1 tools you...
