It matches you to the trees on ancestry.com that match your DNA. I was not talking about a McPike DNA group. But, if you had taken it I would look for your tree match. I have 66 pages of 50 per page, of matches out to 8th cousins. On my mother's side, I have 16 matches where we have common Great Grand parents, 3rd-7th, one commmon 3rd GGrand parents on my Paternal side.
