hi
My nan has quite a nice DNA match of 81cm, which seems to be a max of around 3rd cousin once removed (using DNA painter), or a minimum of half first cousin once removed. This other person was born in 1988, my nan was born in 1939 and from the only visible information I can see, his grandfather was born in 1922.
Due to the already distant generation gap between him and my nan, what should I be looking for?
Using another online tool, a first cousin once removed is a possibility of her being the grandchild and this other person being the 3x great grandchild, and third cousin once removed is 2x great grandchild for my nan and 3 x for this person which sounds a bit too close to me? My nans mum was born in 1910 and her mum was born in 1874
I know its just a "tool" however my nan didn't know who her grandad was so I'm wondering if this could be the link
In addition to this, this person does not match a known half first cousin once removed. My nans nan married and he is from this side, so not the illusive grandfather
All other shared matches are below 20cm so negligible and none of the matches seem to have trees that are usable, and I have of course tried to contact him several times but with no luck
Also, if anyone has access to worldwide records, there is another high match for my nan that was born in Canada (that again doesn't match anyone of my known links) that I would appreciate if someone can look at a baptism for me. This person is still alive so I wont post their details here, but if you could PM me I would be most grateful
