I'm struggling to understand it Pat. I'm not at all Science minded.

It says my Granddaughter should be...
1766
1156-2311

So what do these numbers refer to?

Wouldn't it be great if we were Pat :-D <3

Perhaps we are both related to David Lloyd George too.
I know I am but no idea how. My G.Grandmother warned my G.Aunt not to tell anyone because she said "He (Lloyd George) is an immoral man"!!!! :-D :-D :-D

cMs or centiMorgans. Just their way of measuring the links. You just total the amount and that gives you the possibilities. The greater the number the closer the relationship of course and like all things human the amount past on is variable therefore there are ranges for each relationship and of course many can be in a similar range.

So the top number is an estimated average and the bottom numbers are the anticipated range?

Yes it is far more simple than it looks. Play with a few numbers to see it change around.

Never go with what Ancestry says as it's a best guess that's all you need all the possibilities
