3rd Cousins
Kitty's Guidelines for Jewish DNA Matches
- At least one segment > 20 cM
- Another segment > 10 cM
- Several more good sized segments
Nancy's Top Matches List Family Tree DNA
Nancy's MatchesSorted by Longest Block Family Tree DNA
Nancy's brother's largest segment matches
These large segments plus one more not showing make about 100cM for actual 3rd cousins
