Elaine I would not get too excited about this match. The two step match means that two of the 37 do not match so this is more of an anthropological match. In other words the common ancestor could be more than 24 generations back. The more step difference the further back you go.
Rick Richard Francis Pimentel Spring, TX Formerly of Epping, New Hampshire From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of "E" Sharp Sent: Saturday, October 19, 2013 8:35 PM To: azores Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] DNA Question - Match with different surname We have a match, non-Azorean, at 37 markers at 2 steps with a different surname. I believe at 2 steps there is some connection. I also have 3 matches with the same surname one at 0 steps (both from same Generation),one at 1 step, 1 at 2 steps (and this is the one I believe we are descended from so I am still scratching my head). Maybe because one tested is Generation 8 and the other Generation 9??? Nonetheless, I am also trying to figure out why this different surname tested at 2 steps??
