Linda, I am with you on the 2 ancestors thought. It is going to be interesting sorting this one out.

My father & I match him on 20 with a 9.10 segment whereas my mother & great aunt match him on 1 with 9.02 (mom) & 13.93 (aunt) segments. My fathers linage is entirely German immigrants 1890's whereas my mother's maternal line is entirely Colonial America. This match now has a gedcom posted, and although I don't see anything that catches my eye as a common ancestor for either side, he does have a mix of German and Colonial. I have not as yet contacted him, but like Ann, my parents are NOT related, and I imagine if the matches are legit, I imagine that it's 2 different ancestors in his linage, one that matches my father and the other matches my mother. So, I think it's probably 2 ancestors I'm looking for, not 1 common to both sides. Linda
