Long Distant Cousin?

On Nov. 2018 I was contacted by SDR on MyHeritage. She noticed that my father and I had a DNA match with her Son, her Mother, and her Grand-Mother.

I thereby checked the matches, looking for the MRCA (Most Recent Common Ancestor) between us.

First of all, I couldn’t find any match between me and her or the relatives she indicated. However, looking at the DNA matches of my father I found some possible relations!

DNA match on MyHeritage between my father and SDR.

My father and SDR share following DNA matches:

Estimated Relationship with My Father Shared Match Estimated Relationship with SDR
Relationship % shared DNA % shared DNA Relationship
3rd cousin – 5th cousin 0,3% (21,6 cM) JDD 49,8% (3.531,2 cM) Son
2nd cousin twice removed – 5th cousin 0,3% (21,3 cM) MRH 49,6% (3.514,7 cM) Mother
3rd cousin – 5th cousin 0,4% (27,8 cM) CHP 24,7% (1.751,4 cM) Grandmother
3rd cousin – distant cousin 0,2% (11,4 cM) ATO 0,2% (13,2 cM) 3rd cousin – distant cousin
3rd cousin – distant cousin 0,2% (15,5 cM) CDG 0,1% (8,8 cM) 3rd cousin – distant cousin

For obvious reason my search concentrated on the Italian-sounding surnames, i.e. CHP, ATO, and CDG.

The Pisani Family

My father and CHP share following DNA matches:

Estimated Relationship with My Father Shared Match Estimated Relationship with CHP
Relationship % shared DNA % shared DNA Relationship
2nd cousin twice removed – 5th cousin 0,3% (21,3 cM) MRH 49,6% (3.518,2 cM) Daughter
3rd cousin – 5th cousin 0,3% (21,6 cM) SDR 24,7% (1.751,4 cM) Granddaughter
3rd cousin – 5th cousin 0,3% (21,6 cM) JDD 12,5% (882,5 cM) Great-Grandson
3rd cousin – distant cousin 0,2% (15,8 cM) PPO 0,3% (18,9 cM) 3rd cousin – distant cousin
3rd cousin – distant cousin 0,1% (9,5 cM) ?R? 0,2% (13,1 cM) 3rd cousin – distant cousin
3rd cousin – distant cousin 0,2% (11,5 cM) CME 0,1% (8,3 cM) 3rd cousin – distant cousin

Again, my search concentrated on the Italian-sounding surnames, i.e. PPO and CME (the latest sounds more Spanish, anyway interesting for other reasons, see corresponding article).

As research went further, I had to split this article because it was getting too long.

Therefore I moved

to another article.
