How many matches, 4th cousins or closer do you have?

My immediate family is fairly small.

But both my maternal grandparents had around 9 sibings apiece.

My paternal Gt grandfather had 15 children (not all survived to adulthood though) and no one with that surname is showing as a match. I suppose they could be one of the many who don't have a tree on Ancestry.

A cousin has given me access to her DNA results, and she beats the lot of you!!

1000+ 4th cousins or closer according to ancestry. In actual fact there are 243 reported 4th to 6th cousins or closer, c 12,150.

Not that they are all really 4th to 6th cousins, she was born in Hawaii to an American father and a Hawaiian mother. Just goes to show the effects of an endogamous community and the difficulties in interpreting results. Her Hawaiian line is almost unresearchable with DNA, her father's line a tad easier.

Me, I have a mere 159 4 to 6 cousins or closer, and I have not confirmed where many of them match with me.

I have 386 4th cousin or closer, closest is a solitary 2nd cousin and a handful of 3rd cousins.  I've had my results for nearly a month now but still no dna circle and only 1 ancestor match 😓😓😓

DNA circles and ancestor matches just prove what you already know, so I wouldn't worry about it too much!.
