Weird DNA matches
My cousin 's matches are proving really odd. 400 odd on our mutual ancestors, 258 allocated to the other side and 15k unallocated.
258 seems a reasonable number to sort, so I have been checking to see what patterns emerge. So far every one that does have matches is related to a single person (less than 30cM, no tree , no matches) Does anyone else have such an odd distribution? Mine is roughly equal numbers of parent 1, parent 2 and unassigned.

Looking at mine, I apparently have 8,151 paternal, 7,781 maternal and 25,267 unassigned, and my test was done ages ago. My Dad also has about 20,000 unassigned and his test was done before mine. Everyone else whose tests I have access to, has more assigned than unassigned.

9,432 Paternal matches
5,400 Maternal matches 3,949 Unassigned matches My 2 closest matches are assigned to both sides. |

I just realised that one reason why my Dad and I have so many unassigned matches is probably because when Ancestry warned that they were going to cull the matches below 8 cM, I went through mine and saved them from being culled, and so did the person who manages my Dad's test. So those low matches probably account for a lot of our unassigneds.

9,795 paternal matches
7,135 maternal matches 4,800 unassigned matches - some of which I have already identified and assigned as paternal or maternal. |

Me
Parent 1 1354 Parent 2 1060 Unassigned 1455 Aunt Parent 1 1096 Parent 2 1755 Unassigned 1082 Best Mate Parent 1 901 Parent 2 770 Unassigned 1595 While I kept the 6-8 cM for the above, I have been weeding out the no hopers, which is why we have so few unassigned. But Sib's child Parent 1 5938 Parent 2 5635 Unassigned 2761 and cousin, again with no weeding Parent 1 436 Parent 2 258 Unassigned 12512 None of the tests were done recently, and the contrast between sib's child and cousin is really stark.

Since there are so few parent 2 matches, I have been going through each one, to see what I can glean. And the answer is: absolutely nothing. No trees with useful names, the lot of them so far only match with four over 20cMs, one of whom relates to parent 1, and of the others, only one is a Parent2, with no tree and no clue how cousin is related.

Had you already hidden some of the cousin's DNA matches, Phoenix?
