You and the other person(s) have matched in 23, 24 or 25 loci.  If you share the same surname or variant, this means that there is a 99% likelihood that you share a common ancestor in a genealogical time frame. If you match another person without the same surname or variant, you still probably share a common ancestor, but this ancestor may have lived in the time before surnames were adopted.
