And now I have another third cousin, connected to the mysterious second cousin and the other third cousin.
These people are my closest DNA matches and I have no idea who they are!
What I don't quite understand is how the CM thing works.
With the second cousin I know, with whom I share great grandparents, the shared DNA is 315cM across 17 segments.
With the second cousin I don't know, the shared DNA is 291cM across 10 segments.
is that more or less shared DNA overall? is there any merit in dividing the number of cM by the number of segments? I don't know.
