[quote=Anonymous]So my DH took a DNA test and found a close relative via the DNA database. However, I am not sure whether the amount of DNA they share makes sense given their complex relationship. This is much more a curiosity question. So DH and this relative share about 10% of their DNA. This relative is both a half-uncle and a second cousin, but it is more complex than that. Basically, after DH's grandfather had DH's father with his grandmother, he married his niece and had this close relative. However, it is even more complex than that. The niece he married is the daughter of DH's grandfather's brother and DH's grandmother's sister. So in essence, DH's father shares more DNA with this half-sibling than a half-sibling if his grandfather had married a stranger. I would think that DH would share more DNA with this close relative, but am I off in my calculations?[/quote]
