The 25 marker DNA results came back on Don (Wilbur) Albright. We still have a perfect 25 on 25 match. So ordered a 37 marker test. (from familyDNA site) Your perfect 25/25 match means you share a common male ancestor with a person who shares your surname (or variant). These two facts demonstrate your relatedness.
Explanation from ancestry.com on DNA.
For example, a 12 for 12 match tells you that there is a 90 percent probability that your common ancestor lived within the last 48 generations and a 50 percent probability that he lived within the last 15 generations. A 25 for 25 match narrows these time frames, revealing a 90 percent probability that your common ancestor lived within the last 20 generations and a 50 percent probability that he lived within the last seven generations. Additional markers clearly go a long way to bringing test results into genealogically relevant time spans!
My guess is that I am related within about 8 or 9 generations of Don (Wilbur) Albright.
Needless to say I am putting the Zurich, Switzerland Albrechts into my database for future postings!
