Geneanet DNA matches - cMs versus Accuracy

+3 votes
130 views
I'm just trying to get my head around the information I have received when I uploaded my Ancestry Autosomal Data to Geneanet.  The matches come up with a cM and an accuracy field, and they do not seem to have any correlation. In my mind, a match with a bigger percentage of match would tend to be more accurate, but this doesn't seem to match up with my results.

They say that accuracy is partly determined by their guess, based on their database, about which segments are Identical By Population. “Accuracy” was maybe not the best choice of word for this.
