The Ancestry autosomal DNA test tests ALL sides of the family tree. Your matches could be on ANY line in your tree. There is no "tag" on the DNA that tells you where the match is ... but with a bit of detective work and/or a good solid tree you can often figure it out. I have a MYERS 2nd cousin once removed who I match and I also match 5 other descendants of that 2nd cousin's sibling. Our mutual ancestors, Conrad MYERS and wife Maria ZINN, had sons Henry (my great-grandfather) and Charles (my 2nd cousin's grandfather). In addition we have located another match whose tree proves he descends from a daughter of Conrad and Maria MYERS --- Prudence (MYERS) SMITH. Even though Prudence married a "John SMITH" and moved from Pennsylvania to Iowa and Charles MYERS moved from PA to Oklahoma, while my Henry remained in PA, we all still were able to trace our ancestry back to Adams County, PA and DNA connection proved out our tree matches.

Joan, The FamilytreeDna, will show if there is a "x" match. If that is the case, that could narrow it a little. I find familytreedna more helpful that Ancestry. Even GedMarch.com will reflect X matches.
