Todd B, Yes, my parents are 6th cousins. My dad (half Portuguese/half "American") has 1 German line embedded in that American "half" and that's how he matches my mom.
Siblings will show different matches. Your mom has half her parents" DNA, 25% of her grands, 12.5% of her greats, and 6.25% of her 2 greats. Your mom's sister has the same stats, BUT she may not have the exact same 6.25% that your mom does. Hers may be different. That's why we see different distant matches.
