What is the likelihood of each of Ancestry's ideas about how we might be related?
I have a hit for a close cousin. We share 442 centimorgans across 23 DNA segments.
Their idea is that we are: 1st cousins once removed, Great great aunt, Second cousins, or 1st cousins twice removed.
I am 24; she is 66.
I think that due to our ages, great great aunt is out of the question. The first cousins ones seems likely(most likely first twice removed). How likely is the second cousins one with us being 42 years apart? Equally likely? Some of you might remember my post a while back, but I'm adopted and am looking for my birth family through mirror trees. I want to flesh out the part of the tree that is most likely.
Any opinions or comments would be welcome. Thanks in advance!
