I think you'll find most people have few or none. I have just one, despite heavy colonial ancestry, and it is a total mystery to me. View them as "suggestions," nothing more.

Interesting. How does a connection become verified? Is that something that I as a user do? Regards Peter

For me, I match someone in that circle to a MCRA, and I can document their paper trail and paper my trail to that ancestor. Maybe I should have used better wording. I match people in these circles through traditional research and DNA. I have a few circles with 10+ people in it-- I might not match all participants, but I match some. I guess I am fairly lucky to have as many circles. I would suggest looking at these circles and mapping their genealogies. Work up your tree, then back down. Good luck, Patti -----Original Message----- From: genealogy-dna-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:genealogy-dna-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Peter J Richardson via Sent: Friday, October 30, 2015 8:38 AM To: genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [DNA] Matches on Ancestry Circles -----Original Message----- From: genealogy-dna-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:genealogy-dna-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Patti Easton via Sent: 30 October 2015 13:05 To: 'Doris Wheeler' <doriswh@gmail.com>; genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [DNA] Matches on Ancestry Circles > I have 6 circles, all with verified connections.
