I'd need to log into your DNA page to see exactly what you are talking about.
In general, X match follows are particular inheritance pattern. I'll start with a male. The 23rd chromosome is the sex chromosome. He got XY - Y from dad (that makes him a man) and an X from mom. Mom is XX. She gave one of her Xs to him. We don't know which one. So let's look at mom: Mom is XX (making her female). She got 1 X from her dad and one X from her mom. Let's look at her dad (grandpa) who is XY: Grandpa XY got Y from his dad and X from his mom. Grandma got 2 XXs: one from each of her parents. For a match with a female, it's twice the fun since we are born with 2 Xs: One from mom and one from dad. It's pretty confusing to explain in an email. Here are some articles with pictures of fan charts showing the inheritance pattern: Blaine Bettinger's blog: https://goo.gl/GUcXXK Roberta Estes' blog: https://goo.gl/Jj975w You want an X match of 10 cMs or more AND you are matching on the other autosomes as well. A match only on the X may be too distant in time. If you send me a private email with some good days and times to call you, I can take a look at your matches and explain in more specific terms. Just let me know.
