Oh my God!
Really?
Sarah Silverman.
I saw her the other night.
You and Sarah share long identical segments of DNA on your second, your 10th, your 17th, and your 19th chromosomes.
Okay.
So you have, this is a lot.
Usually, we establish a DNA cousin connection with identical shared DNA - on one chromosome.
- Right.
- Wow.
- And you shared on four chromosomes.
That is a lot of sharing.
My first thought was like, "But she's from New Hampshire."
Oh my gosh.
She's from the Pale Settlement.
- That's where this is from.
- Yeah.
That's really cool.
