Theory of Family Relativity - MyHeritage Feature

[melba_schmelba]

Out of 9000+ matches, this feature managed to match me to 3 people. Only one was correct 

I wonder how that compares to the Ancestry Thruline on a fair comparative basis .

Very similar, except that Ancestry have more!

How about this for a match on My Heritage- my RR was born Merionethshire in 1822. They've matched me up with an RRR born Cornwall in 1830.  It's just like the Ancestry  tree hints

If you click on DNA matches, it should come up as a banner headline in bright pink/purple.

Oh, it's not on mine 😓 Maybe I just don't have any.  Only one line of my family tree seems to be testing and most either have no tree or a tree that is full of errors 😓

Well, it's only 150 miles away, give them some credit !! At least it isn't in America like a lot of my English hints .

And the Welsh and Cornish languages are closely related.

it is St David's Day

 

More generally, I'm not sure where all these US relatives came from. I know that one line went to Canada and, with help from Canadian members a few years ago, I traced most of them.

There were 3-4 kin groups that went to US - mainly Pennsylvania (coal mining) and NJ. Also have a nephew of my great grd going to Michigan and on to California. Did these groups have so many descendants, all doing DNA tests with Ancestry

I have a similar thing, with a huge number of US relatives all connected to each other in shared matches, over 50  ! I can only assume they were either Mormons, Catholics, or randy mid west farmers  . I also have no idea how they are related .

I have 1 distinct Mormon connection that is my 'go to' American Family

The others I assume are the Scots connection to Canada and Irish connections to the US. ie I think one of my Macnamara brothers went to the USA while the other came to Australia
