BBU, managed by SBU from UK, has a DNA-Match with me on
- myheritage: 180,3 cM (longest one 38,5 cM) across 7 segments, possible 3th to 5th cousin
and with my father, also on
- myheritage: 292,8 cM (longest one 39,5 cM) across 11 segments, possible 2nd to 3rd cousin
as well as with my brother on
- myheritage: 67,1 cM (longest one 27,1 cM) across 4 segments, possible 5th to 7th cousin
and my two daughters.
BBU is the father of WBU, from UK, which whom I’m in contact
Following table shows the possible relationship to our MRCA (Most Recent Common Ancestor). In parenthesis the less probable surnames, reported here just for sake of completeness and because DNA-matches and family trees are often not so precise or reliable.
| My family | MRCA | WBU’s family |
|---|---|---|
| The possible MRCA between WBU and me should be found in the Andò family. He could be: Domenico Andò (husband of Giuseppa Scuderi) or Diego Andò (husband of Domenica Battaglia) See also The Possible Connection with the Peri Family. |
||
| My 2x-great-grandparents: Domenico Andò + Scuderi, Aliotta + Donato (Greco + Tomarchio, Sciuto + Gangemi) |
Siblings? | WBU’s 2xgreat-grandparents: Andò (Busuttil, Vitelli, Falanga) |
| My great-grandparents: Francesco Andò + Aliotta (Greco + Sciuto) |
Siblings or 1st cousins? | WBU’s great-grandparents: Busuttil, Vitelli, Giovanni Andò + Lucia Falanga |
| My grandparents: Andò (Greco) |
1st or 2nd cousins? | WBU grandmother: Walter Busuttil + Mary Andò, Vitelli + … |
| My father | 2nd or 3rd cousins? (matches in myheritage) |
WBU parents: BBU and AMV (both b. ~1930 in Alexandria (Egypt)) |
| Me | 3rd or 4th cousins? | WBU |
Thus, according to the table above, WBU and I should be
- 3rd cousin, if Francesco Andò (my great-grandfather, husband of Emanuela Aliotta) – or one of his brothers – and Giovanni Andò (great-grandfather of WBU, husband of Lucia Falanga) – or one of his brothers – were brothers,
- 4th cousin, if Domenico Andò (my great-great-grandfather, husband of Giuseppa Scuderi) – or one of his brothers – and the father of Giovanni Andò (great-grandfather of WBU, husband of Lucia Falanga) – or one of his brothers – were brothers.
The younger brother of WBU’s grandmother, Mary Andò, was Salvatore Andò (b. 1908), who married Clelia Greco (b. 1910). A relatdness of my Grecos with this Clelia is not confirmed, as of the current status of research.
Location
Clearly the MRCA between me and BBU and WBU should be found in Alexandria (Egypt). Either he lived there or, if we are lucky, he was born there and his famnily can be traced back through the books of St. Catherine Cathedral.
In the Latin Cementry of the Holy Land in Alexandria, there are many graves of the Andò and Falanga families. In particular there are the graves of my Francesco Andò and his Giovanni Andò.

Strange is that PTA doesn’t match with my father neither with my brother. Probably this is due to the small percentage of DNA that we have in common.
