Dear David
I followed the procedure as you outlined and it worked perfectly.
I now have a 36/36 with my son and a 35/36 match with another participant with the SAME
NAME and from the SAME COUNTRY.
I am not well versed re DNA match's so I wonder if you could give me your opinion
with regard to my relationship with the person who I match 35/36.
I believe this is known as the MOST RECENT COMMON ANCESTOR and is expressed in
GENERATIONS?
Thank you for your help.
Best Wishes
Edward
