Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: finding ggrandfather's bio father

Thanks for your reply
I have now found 1 match -3/4 cousin; 6 matches - 4/6 cousin; 3 matches - 5/8 cousin who all feature the same ancestor. Generational differences no doubt account for the range. I have looked at most of their trees and can find no other commonality with my tree. Of course this is only as good as their trees are (and my own!)
I'll investigate your second piece of advice, first I need to understand what DNA painter is! I am very much a beginner with this but will enjoy the learning curve!
