I had a large 54 centiMorgans DNA segment(or chunk) in Mom's matches that showed up just under a week ago. Upon examining others who matched Mom and each other along the same segment I was able to determine it was likely from the Luna/Looney lines. All those that matched Mom along that segment have Robert Looney and Elizabeth Llewellyn as their most recent common ancestors. This is my Mom's 5th Gr Grandparents and back a good ways. That put Mom matching 6th cousins and several 6th cousins once removed at an amount (54cMs) that typically is indicative of 3rd cousins. I am thinking that this has something to do with this couple being from the Isle of Man or colonial.
Last night I found that I had a new match that AncestryDNA estimated matched me at 50 cMs shared on one segment. The match is going to be on my Paternal side as he didn't match my Mom's test. Upon checking this match with my sister's test I found that he matched her even better. I think they probably share the same 50 cMs segment but they also share 4 other segments which I didn't get and match at 101 cMs over 5 segments. It is entirely possible that they share 5 different segments which doesn't include the 50 cM segment that he and I share. Shared matches appear to be somewhere along our PGM's Jakes/Morrow/Harger/Frizzell lines--all colonial. I can't wait to hear back from this match and hope to get them to upload to GEDmatch so I can identify the segments in my sister's file and make note that I got segments from our PGF along the 4 which I don't have in common with my sister.
PGF= Paternal Grandfather
PGM=Paternal Grandmother
