Gedmatch:. Are your parents related

[rothaer]

NB, well...

Is that your maternal or paternal grandmother?

Maternal.

Maternal.

For some reason I thought so.

Largest segment = 15.1 cM
Total of segments > 7 cM = 15.1 cM

This analysis indicates that your parents may be distantly related.

It's not as bad as most people think if they are related like 2nd-cousins or 3rd-cousins. I have even an ancestor couple thats 1st-cousins and they had 5 healthy intelligent children.

You're right it shouldn't be that bad if they are just distantly related most of the time.

Wow, this is correct. How did you know?

Just copied what is written on gedmatch.

77.4 cM means that more than 300 cM can be expected as for the parents' mutual match, which is enormously much. As a rough take, you can say that if you are well into your family and relatives, you can be expeted to know all relatives with more than 100 cM, not necessarly know them in person, but know who it is. I have repeatedly got below 100 cM with well to me known relatives that I even tested.

So how close related were his parents? Obviously it didn't harm his (or his brother's) abilities, which were exceptional, at all.

found an article after he died....RIP

N.T. died at the age of 64.

Tomac is remembered in Rijeka football as the director of Rijeka, which was denied the championship title due to one referee's flag, in the controversial 1998/99 season.

He played football for Opatija and Orient in the jersey of which he reached his peak as a member of the generation that became famous in the early eighties with two placements in the final of the cup, he was an actor in several anthology matches of the Sušak club. He joined most decorated Norwegian club Roseborg BK only to quit athletic career in favor of academic one.

Tomac was one of the few football players who achieved an enviable academic career, graduated in mechanical engineering, and obtained a doctorate in science in Norway.

After he finished his directorship at HNK Rijeka, he never became more seriously involved in football, he dedicated himself to working with students as University Professor. He lectured at Universities of Trondheim, Narvik and Rijeka.

Nik was normally part of a sports family, his brother Željko played and managed Zamet, and after going to Norway he became an assistant coach of the Norwegian national team. Željko's daughter Marta won the world and European titles in the jersey of the Norwegian national team.

Okay, I tested other kits I menage and they don't have parents related except one older lady who is from Island near mine, and that island is quite remote and isolated (much more than my island)

Largest segment = 23.5 cM
Total of segments > 7 cM = 48.7 cM

Interpreting your result:

This analysis indicates that your parents may be distantly related.

She is from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%BDirje,_Croatia

Very vital, good looking and sharp minded woman btw.

Just copied what is written on gedmatch.

That's "new" then compared to 5 years ago.

So how close related were his parents?

It will likely have been something in between 1C1R and 2C, see:

[ScandinavianCelt]

Largest segment = 0 cM
Total of segments > 7 cM = 0 cM

No shared DNA segments found

This analysis indicates that your parents are probably not related within recent generations.

Just a little blurb on the subject:

The chance that a baby is born with a birth defect or disability is between 2-3%. So, if a hundred people have babies, we would expect that 2 or 3 to be born with some sort of problem. Which of course means that 97 or 98 are fine.

At 3.5%, the risk is slightly higher for second cousins. Still, 96 or 97 out of a hundred babies are born without any major problems.What this all means is that while there is increased risk, it doesn't really qualify as a "high chance." Even first cousins at 5% aren't that big of a risk.

Keep in mind though that these are average numbers. Like people who are not related, your actual risk depends on the genes you and your spouse have.
