The Underlying cM Data

This table shows the current cM parameters that the Relationship Grid is using to place matches within the cells, these cM values at some levels have been raised from the original 0cM level which they are listed by the “Shared cM Project” I decided to do this so that the lower minimum value or Maximum value of the allowed range is a little tighter, to offer more chance that matches at lower value cM results will be placed more often into a grid cell, rather than ending up grouped together in a cell position that gives no real help to the user.
