Converting centiMorgans into percentages. In order to get an approximate percentage of shared DNA from a Family Tree DNA Family Finder test, take all of the segments above 5 cM, add them together and then divide by 68. The way the calculation works is that your total genome in cMs with the Family Finder test is 6770 cM.
In general you share an average of 50% less DNA with an ancestor with each additional generation. To calculate how much DNA you are likely to share with a cousin, you have to consider that they have also inherited 50% less DNA with each generation. This can be shown using a modified version of the genealogical relationship chart. For example, you and your relative share a common ancestor, Emmet Blacksheep.
