30 out of what number.  30 of 37 is not a good match.  It would take 34 
of 37 or better to considered a good match.  Out of a group of 7th, 8th 
and 9th generation descendants of our common ancestor (with most of us 
6th cousins) the largest deviation is -4 or 63 out of 67.  Four exact 
matches from four different sons and three who match 66 out of 67.
