I don't know if anyone has taken a dive into their DNA. It is fascinating and frustrating. I still prefer traditional genealogy. However, I understand that DNA can help solve some mysteries or add to mysteries. I have a someone who is a 4th cousin or a half 3rd cousin once removed who is related to both my paternal and maternal side according to DNA. Try to wrap your head around that one.
What is a 4th cousin? I am so glad you asked in order for me to be related to this DNA match we must share a 3rd great grandparent in common. This would also mean that my mom and dad share a common great great grandparent to them. At least I think that is what it means. Send help! Anyway, I am somehow related to this person through my paternal and maternal lines most likely I have 2 different ways I am related to them.
