When you click on shared matches, for the lower cMs, do they show the higher cM as a shared match?
My personal gut (and therefore unscientific) opinion is that if the link is a birth 300 years ago, there are 999 other links that it might be, or just a local DNA.
Does the 41 cM match link to any other DNA matches? That seems a very strong link for so distant a cousin.
