With the new match function we can now add our relationship to known matches ...will that create new common leaf tagged ancestors
Out of interest
what dates are your common ancestors with more than one link ?
My mother has 4 DNA links to Nimrod GARDNER. 1756 of BUGBROOK Northamptonshire and his wife Susannah RODDIS 1756
& a few
5th cousins thru Richard Mawslbury1744(some don't show up because of spelling variations) but show thru his wife Hannah Higginson of Moreton Pinkney Northamptonshire 1751
Trees have been well researched !
The links go back further when descendency is thru younger children of younger children thru the generations .or children of older parents who can be a generation younger in years than their siblings but same generation in genealogy terms.
I've got a 20CM match and our closest known common ancestors seem to be born in the 1640s. We both descend from the same couple in two different lines which may explain how such a distant connection is possible.
