I know this is not a directly related FH question, hence posting under Research, I hope this OK.
I have only just had DNA test results so nearly everything about it is new me, any guidance will be most welcome.
How should I interpret the top lines of my One to Many match results?

Re: GEDMatch, understanding results
Have you looked at the articles and videos under the Information heading on the right side of the home screen when you log in to GEDMatch?
Andrew Lee also has a lot of useful GEDmatch videos on YouTube, some of which are linked to from the GEDmatch site:

Tracing your Ancestors using DNA, edited by Graham S. Holton, published by Pen & Sword Books is a very good book. Not specific to GEDmatch, but it starts with the basics of DNA matching and goes on to cover more advanced topics. I still refer to my copy regularly.

Re: GEDMatch, understanding results
Thanks for the reply RS3100.
I had explored the top line menus and the Forum but I hadn't found the Information panel down the screen on the RHS.
That is very helpful and gives me a good start, thanks again.
