Generally when we say "match," we mean a perfect match. One mismatch does not
rule out a recent common ancestor, but you will need to be extra cautious
about matches to 5262. He is very close to the "Atlantic Modal Haplotype,"
the single most common European haplotype, so it's possible to get "random"
matches.

Sometimes people in this situation will upgrade to a 25 marker test to see if
they still seem to be closely related.
