	I think Kay may be right. There is a chart giving number of cM for different relationships here:- http://fh.familysearch.org/system/files/team/ait/images/blog/centimorgan-chart.png Kath. x

	The DNA results show a close family member,,,,,,,,either a full sibling or each share one parent.resulting in a half sibling !

	This sounds quite close. My nearest match is 54.9 cM and 2 segments and I can't identify him either. If you both have family trees and none of the names match, then it may be that the match is through a 'father', ie not the one listed in the tree............

	I wonder if anyone could enlighten me on dna numbers? I have recently had a dna match of 1,518 cM across 37 segments but have never heard this persons name before. I cannot work out our relationship, Can anyone help? Myself and this person are both in our 70's
