Doreen CJ, Yes, FTDNA says that the Family Finder goes back 5 generations. But it's more like 200 years back from the birth of the testee. Having the same people in your DNA make up will mess up the prediction. Shirley Allegre and I are cousins 12? different ways - something like that. Because

Hi Richard,Your logic is sound, but I don't know if it really matters.The reason is that there is no telling how much DNA any one person gets. Just like you are not going to get the same DNA as all your siblings.So the answer, I think, is test them all. The more, the merrier.One thing that seems
