[quote=Anonymous]My family has double cousins (e.i., Jones brothers married Smith sisters, so all the Jones-Smith kids are double cousins). Their DNA matches show them to be as close as siblings in the match (usually about 50%, but varies). So here is my take on your DH's family: the niece and your husband's father are double cousins and could present in DNA as possibly as close a match as siblings (roughly 50% shared DNA). Your DH's father would present as a half-sibling/double-cousin-once-removed to the niece's child (about 25+% DNA shared with DH's father). Your DH, who got an X from a totally different family, would still would only be expected to share with the half-uncle (~12%)/second cousin (3-5%) as much as a first cousin (7-13%, though possibly on the higher side of that range. So 10% is not out of the expected range.[/quote]
