Here are 12 people who are mostly related to each other according to gedmatch. All of the top 8 are related to ALL of each other top 8 according to gedmatch, except that A164545 is not related to A925969 A149200 [email protected] A047046 [email protected] A986619 [email protected] A874906 [email protected] A817814 [email protected] A164545 [email protected] A925969 [email protected] A572235 [email protected] A880323 [email protected] A205556 [email protected] M433997 [email protected] T276338 [email protected] T789849 [email protected] All of these people are more than 5.0 generations away from each other except the last one is my paternal cousin, Jack Sloan Anybody related to him must be from my father's side of the family. I cannot figure out how any of these 12 people are related to each other but gedmatch shows that we are all related. If I could even find just one ancestor in common that would be most helpful in solving this mystery. I created this by using Multiple Kit Analysis <https://www.gedmatch.com/MultiKitAnalysis.php> NEW on the gedmatch.com home page Just plug in all these gedmatch numbers into the matrix and you will see a matrix showing that all these people on this list are related to the top 4 and the top eight are all related to all of the others in the top eight. So we are all related to a common ancestor about 5-6 generations back. So now we have to find out who that common ancestor was.
