A "half" third cousin could share more DNA than a "full" third cousin.<br /><br />"Would she show up as my 3rd cousin 1x removed in our DNA?" I do not know what this means. The amount of shared DNA is used to analyze results.<br /><br />You could be related on more than one ancestral line, so someone appearing among your DNA matches does not confirm that the shared DNA comes from the ancestor or ancestors you hope it does. You need to delve into the shared segments shared between the two of you and other suspected blood relatives of this couple.<br />Jody Lutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166860142168646494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182301947537322536.post-29764997866376771192017-08-16T08:03:09.005-04:002017-08-16T08:03:09.005-04:00I am trying to determine if my cousin by my 2nd gr...I am trying to determine if my cousin by my 2nd great grandmother also shares the same 2nd great grandfather. We believe that he may be the same man who simply changed his name as there are absolutely NO clues as to anyone 'north' of him at all. If my cousin was actually only connected to my 2nd great grandma, but not my 2nd great grandpa, would she show up as my 3rd cousin 1x removed in our dna? Because she does. She would actually be at this level if we were both related to these grandparents, but I am wondering if it would change it if she were only related by one of them?
