I’m really confused because I tend to find a lot of matches from my paternal grandmothers and paternal grandfathers family. I can also find quite a few from my maternal grandfathers. But so far I’ve only confirmed one person after looking in myheritage, ftdna, and 23andme that is connected to me through my maternal grandmother. And I just found them yesterday after looking for 2 years. Through her father. I still haven’t found any matches through her mother. My maternal grandmother only had one sister and her mother was an only child. But her father had a pretty large family. I was wondering maybe it was because the family size is smaller, but most of the hits I’m getting come from a 3rd, 4th or 5th great grandparent on other sides.
As as side note, my maternal grandmother and I were really close growing up, and with her mother (my great-grandma). I know the most about their family history from my great grandma and hardly know my other sides. However I don’t look, I think, at all like my maternal grandmothers family. I’m sort of sad that I’m having a hard time finding some connections on that side. Is it possible that I just didn’t inherit nearly as much dna from my maternal grandma? How uneven can it be exactly?
