Linda, I have a similar group of five, three of them are mother (adopted), daughter and cousin, and no certain knowledge of the mother's origins. The other two matches are unrelated. Luckily one of them gives a family name that is unusual and matches one of mine, and points to Dutch/Huguenot origins in New York State. The other person's families all came from New York State and he has at least one Dutch surname among his ancestors. A sixth match shares the Dutch name but does not share the same large segment, but has a segment nearby, and shares some smaller segments with some of the others. So slowly I'm beginning to build a case for this common Dutch ancestor. Look for anything that these people might have in common, I think that the places of origin, and cultural groups including church groups, is very helpful. Fred
