Good idea. Thanks for the suggestion. Virginia On Friday, June 15, 2018 12:32:56 PM, metronycancestry--- via NYC-ROOTS <nyc-roots@rootsweb.com> wrote: Thanks for this, Bob.

According to this, the shared DNA is so little that I wonder how Ancestry.com and the other DNA testing companies can make links between 3rd and 4th cousins--and beyond? Yet I see many matches that I already know are mine from records research. Any explanations?

All of the testing companies compare your raw DNA sequence to their database to see if anyone else has matching sequences with you. Those matching sequences can be long or short segments. The amount of sequences you have in common (segments in common) determine the genetic distance or relationship to you. I hope that helps! Check near where you live for a DNA Interest Group to learn more ( much more).
