To whom it may concern, my paternal line has little, if any, Finnish ancestry that could affect how well I match genetically with a person from Finland. So if we connect as, say, 15th cousins on Geni through my paternal line while also having a genetic connection on Geni, FTDNA, etc., please keep in mind that the cousin relationship and the genetic relationship are almost certainly not connected to one another. While that might be obvious to some or even most of you, I still felt as if I should try and make the matter clear. My strongest Finnish connection is through a great grandmother on my maternal side. See here: Anna Maria Johnson ent. Lahti So if we match on FTDNA, etc., please focus first on my maternal line. Thank you.
