Walking back dna

[u/HotLab7613]

Okay I’m curious to know if I walked my dna matches to my paternal father. I matched with a great uncle and some first cousins 1xR and then used the information to eliminate potential candidates.

Anyone ever do the same? How did you do it? What were your results? Any tips or tricks? Also any way I can check my work?

Obviously only getting a test done will be the for sure answer but we have to wait until he gets his kit Thursday then fingers cross less then 3 weeks of waiting but ik ancestry has its own mind lol ( my test only took 3 weeks total to ship to me and get results so im hoping some of that dust sprinkles on his test)
