How accurate is 23andme cousins?

[Bohol]

I got a fourth cousin in Namibia.

He’s definitely lying lol. I’m 89% sure we all matched together lool... I’m related to much of the Somali youtubers who’ve done the test hahaha

Nah, he could be telling the truth. He is of the Rahanweyn clan and they don't test as much and their diaspora is smaller. @Ebifurya

I also hear that ethnic Benadiris have low amount of cousins on 23andme as they have been procreating in an isolated kind of way from other Somalis for a few centuries.

Dammnnnnn. I bet northern clans like the Yibirs are similar.

‘Do you know if they’re also Rahanweyn ?

*Only tested less than a handful of people I know. So 300+ I don't know from real life.

Has to be a journey wondering where your relatives must have been

My closest relative is a chick from my hometown, and we have 0.84% DNA, with six shared segments, and I even have some White people there that I have no connection to autosomally, which seems like bs.

Thinking about taking one, gotta increase our sample size.

I messaged them also using map to see where they are located. A lot of them are in UK, some in USA, some in Somalia and Kenya. Even one in Nigeria .

second cousins are people very close, try getting to know them if possible

I messaged them specially MH (that one we got 5.78% match) I properly know him and is using a different alias.

I better give 23andme a try although I only have few relatives living in the diaspora
