• Paternal and Maternal relationships are both confident based on a triangulated group on MyHeritageDNA who share a 27 cM segment on chromosome 18, consisting of F Lewis and LM, her 3rd cousin 2x removed, and DCSC, her 3rd cousin 2x removed. (LM and DCSC are 5th cousins.) These matches have been independently verified by via the MyHeritage Chromosome Browser. Their most-recent common ancestors are Nathaniel Preston and Elizabeth Vaughn, the 2x great grandparents of F Lewis and 4x great grandparents of both LM and DCSC.
