Have you ever scrolled down your match list…past known family, to second, third, and fourth cousins, finding yourself in a harsh landscape of distant cousins? Kate will talk about when distant matches can be useful in confirming Colonial ancestors…and when they can be misleading.
She will share a case study of an ancestor who told an unlikely story – and DNA led her to Connecticut and nearby areas.
