While on the subject of DNA, does anyone know how to interpret the results? 
As an example: Two people test 46 marker and their DNA match exactly, except 
for one marker.  Let's say the one marker is off by one, a 12 instead of 11. 
How does one determine the Most Recent?  Does it matter which marker it is? 
What if one person does a 36 marker and the other a 46 and off by one?

Doing the test is one thing, interpreting them is another.  I know the labs 
do the readings and Most Recent, but if you think (would say know) two 
people are from the same great grandfather, but a marker is off by one and 
the results say Most Recent is 6, then what do you reason from the results?

Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Steve
