HOW TO ASSIGN 4TH COUSIN 3 TIMES REMOVED

[jt]

How do I assign a 4th cousin 3 times removed match in ftdna?  The list jumps from 4th2R to 5th.

Hi Judy T,

I think it was 2 DNA conferences ago where the admins convinced IT that we needed more that 1st cousin, 2nd cousin, 3rd cousin, etc.  So they took 1st through 4th cousins and added once removed and twice removed.  They did not do this for 5th or 6th.  But we got something.

So, it's your choice if you want to pick 4C2R (4th cousin 2x removed) or just 4C and make a note of it on your notepad underneath the match's name that it's really a 4C3R.

There is an option for 5th and 6th cousins.  No options for removed.  Beyond 6th cousins there's a "Distant Cousin" option that I use and on that little notepad I write the kind of cousin and who our common ancestors are.  I'm doing the common ancestors on everybody.  I'm starting to see some of the same matches show up on different DNA accounts (someone matches my mom on her Logans but is matching my dad on his Bedfords).  The notepad helps keep me straight!

Hi Cheri,

 

I think I like the 4C2R and note it idea. That way if I see a 2R I’ll know it might be farther out.  I need to start using the notepad more as I hate having to go back and find common ancestors that I already located, and now that I have another account to keep track of it is getting really crazy.  I have been keeping track of which emails were initially sent so if they don’t respond, I know that I did contact them and when.  

 

Thx for all your tips.  Wish I were as organized as you.

 

Judy
