Well that escalated quickly

[Glen TK]

In the space of 24 hours I've had my dna results turn into an even bigger tangled mess.

I have a big group of mystery maternal matches and built trees for most of them which go back to the same couple. The two big matches are sisters 9one now deceased), they appear to link to me on their maternal side and I've been in touch with the big match for almost a year. At no point has she indicated Ancestry had assigned me as a link through her paternal side until dropping that little nugget out of the blue the other day.

I also managed to persuade a close maternal relative "A" to test and I'm managing the results, those results are in. This relative is a 1c1r and I have another maternal 1c1r match "B".

B to me is 385cM across 18 segments. Longest segment 55cM
A to me is 180cM across 11 segments. Longest segment: 53 cM

A to B Shared DNA: 395 cM across 22 segments. Longest segment: 45 cM


Back to head scratching again and trying to forget someone didn't reveal a little snippet of information about which parent 7-8 months ago.
