10. If you look at the percentage of DNA that is SJ, you can estimate the connection.

We can guess the ancestor who was SJ.

For example, if it is 100% it is both parents.
50% is one parent.
25% is one grandparent.
12.5% is one great grandparent.
6% is one great great grandparent.

If you are on Ancestry they will show you the parent and the matches that
go to that piece of DNA.
