Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Very odd Common Ancestor / Thrulines match
« on: Sunday 15 January 23 13:44 GMT (UK) »
I have a DNA match of 7cM with C. Ancestry tells me that C and I are half 5th cousins once removed, and that our common ancestor is my 4 x great grandfather Thomas Child. Looking at the relationship tree on Ancestry, it has my 3 x great grandmother (Esther Child) as the half sister of C's 4 x great grandfather (William Attfield).
Six Ancestry members trees are cited as source for Thomas Child being William Attfield's father. One is a private tree, but if I look at the other 5, none of them say that WA is TC's son.
They all say that WA is the son of Thomas Attfield and Elizabeth Rampton.
So how has Ancestry invented this relationship?
