Hi
I have a couple of DNA matches that also have triangulated matches, so I'm pretty confident of a link. however getting info from the people I link to is proving impossible and I don't want to harass anyone!
So what I have is:
Person A - to me they are great uncle or a first cousin (they could be others, such as great grandparent, however due to the age of my actual grandparents I think this is verging on the impossible. I'm also not convinced of the first cousin bit, given what I believe to be the age of this person (unfortunately it doesn't look like they have given their age on My Heritage so I'm having to go from the only birth registration I can find with this persons name). Total 916cm
Person B - to me they are 3-4 cousin (65cm) and to person A they are 1st cousin twice removed to 3rd cousin once removed. (100cm)
So to person A our "link" if I go with the great uncle is my great grandparents
To person B our link is between 2-3 great grandparents and straight across (when looking at a relationship chart, no removed)
Person A-B is across 1 down 2 generations to straight across and one down. That potentially means their relationship is person A's grandparents
there also seems to be a common link of Battersea between these two too, although none to me that I know of yet
This means the possible link is my 3x great grandparents
Does that sound logical? I know this isn't a guarantee, I'm just trying to find somewhere to start. I have sent to Ancestry my mums DNA and my paternal grandmothers DNA, so in 6-8 weeks I should be able to distinguish between one side of my family to the other but I'm too impatient to wait that long!
