Thanks for replying. one tree had 4 private so i assume parents and sibling but nothing else and the other person had no tree at all.

Both accounts are named but nothing in their bios to suggest age or location

Hi, I got my grandmother to do a DNA test, as she is the closest living relative to the person I'm trying to find.

I'm looking for her Great Grandmother's parents. I've ordered a marriage certificate and I believe the father's name is not correct as there is nothing that matches up with possible census records (e.g. Name and occupation).

I found a potential census record for 1861 of the G.Grandmother with a different father's name from the marriage certificate and that she may have had a sister.

I did a tree for the sister and a ancestry hint came up for a tree so i checked the DNA matches and i found that person's tree owner is also a DNA match (< 1% shared DNA: 36 cM across 4 segments)

Ancestry guesses 3rd cousin 2x removed or half 2nd cousin 3x removed which I know is a estimate

The problem is that my Grandmother's G.Grandfather's mother(bit long winded) had a sister who may be the mother of the G.Grandmother. (Potential cousin relationship)

My question is, Am I getting a match because of the G.Grandmother's sister or it is because of G.Grandfather' s mother + aunt?



 

I asked for help to find a Elizabeth Harris(Southall) a few months ago, I think I may have found her in the 1861 and 1871 census'.

This person had a sister called Eliza so I started during a family tree about her.

The question is, She married man with the surname Coles in the marriage registry records but on the census records and the children's birth records. The "S" disappears in the Coles surname.

Is that common or is it a different family?   

Thanks for the help, when it comes understanding DNA test results, I'm quite a novice.

When I searched in the AncestryDNA search filter. it was Turner and Herefordshire but maybe I'm going on the assumption but it could just coincidence.
