I am still working on finding the parents of my elusive 3rd gr-grandfather Ephraim Fisher. I now have someone to work with. She is also a descendant. I tested at Ancestry, uploaded to gedmatch and also sent my results to FTDNA, where I found my cousin. I have read some of the questions and answers in the learning section but am still unclear. I click on my cousin's name and then click on 'in common with' and this brings up about 68 names. Does this mean there are 68 people who have 'something' in common with the two of us?? I use the chromosome browser and see several of the 68 all meet at chromosome 8. Does this mean we have a common? I understand it may not be Fisher but the large family he married into. Also, top of the list of 68 is a lady I was able to talk to on the phone. She and I connect only on chromosome 11 but nowhere else. So another question is why does she appear on the list of 68? From my reading I think that maybe I should ask my known Fisher cousin to look at her matches to see if she connects with this other person. Correct? There is a lot written about this subject but it mostly seems to be about the science behind it. ~Lori
