It also confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between CDC (a descendant of the Elmer Meeker ancestral line) and DB (a descendant of the Milton Crosses Meeker ancestral line) with a shared segment of 88.08 cM across 3 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 2nd cousin, twice removed relationship between JM2 (a descendant of the Albert Ward Meeker ancestral line) and RDC (a descendant of the Elmer Meeker ancestral line) with a shared segment of 154.84 cM across 5 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 2nd cousin, twice removed relationship between JM (a descendant of the Bertha Almira Meeker ancestral line) and JB (a descendant of the Milton Crosses Meeker ancestral line) with a shared segment of 114.26 cM across 5 HIR segments.
