Hm,

I'd say that you must be somehow related non-human aliens then. :)

A normal human's chromosome 18 is only ~76 megabases long.
If your centromere is at 18,011,894,266 bp (18 billion) then something
is very strange.
Or what's the unit in which you measure the start point?

Jim McMillan has shown this match as: Start 18011894266, Size 10418811, cM 9.457 and SNPs 1457. From a genealogical standpoint any connection seems extremely remote. Should I take this seriously or not?
