Jim, can you elaborate which of Pike's program you're using and for what check specifically? Sorry, I'm way behind in reading your excellent blog, no time lately. If we do identify other pileup areas, what is the criteria and process to get them added to ISOGG wiki?

The more Matches in a TG means the larger the family size from the CA and/or the more distant the CA. I think you are correct that some of our CAs are back before an immigrant to America. >>> But there are also "intermediate" cousins that appear in a TG from time to time. In other words, all of the TG Matches aren't necessarily cousins back to the CA, some may be closer cousins. These closer cousins are the ones to look for - the MRCA with them may be a pointer to the distant CA. This is one reason why it's important to contact all Matches and share to find the individual MRCAs. >>> >>> Every TG is from some ancestor. >>> >>> Jim - www.segmentology.org > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GENEALOGY-DNA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
