E. Sharp, I’m with you, at 64! The breakdown isn’t quite as simple as that when you are half if your parent’s DNA doesn’t come from a 100% parent. My husband shows about 87%. Our 4 kids ended up battling over who was the MOST Portuguese. The one who looks most like him with the most shared personality traits actually had less than her sister! It all depends on how her dad’s DNA recombined onto the X chromosome she received.
That doesn’t help on your question. I suspect that it would depend on the number of total cM shared AND the length of the longest shared strand. The shared lengths decrease over generations from the way DNA is passed. Ancestry doesn’t give longest length. Did your show ever give an answer? Debbie PS- I get testy if Starbucks writes Debra on my cup, so I pronounce it Deb-OOO-rah when I order! On Mon, Dec 9, 2019 at 1:02 AM E. Sharp <[email protected]> wrote: > At 83 I try.
