I took the ancestry.com DNA test. I am highly impressed with all of the DNA results. I have several people I am related to that would fall into 4-6th cousins and I still can’t figure out how I am related to them. I feel like I am so close!
If you are my cousin one of your grandparents would have one of the following last names: Hendry, Franklin, Schmidt, or Jauert.
If you are my 2nd cousin one of your great grandparents would have one of the following last names: Hendry, Franklin, Schmidt, or Jauert (same as above) OR Darby, Fennin, Maack, or Badcker.
If you are my 3rd cousin then you will have a great great grand parent with one of the following names: Hendry, Franklin, Schmidt, Jauert, Darby, Fennin, Maack or Badcker (same as earlier) OR Cullen, McDonnell, Martin, Keeffe, Krummel, Wegner, Patow, or Kruse.
If we are 4th cousins then we would share a ggg grand parent with the name Hendry, Franklin, Schmidt, Jauert, Darby, Fennin, Maack, Badcker Cullen, McDonnell, Martin, Keeffe, Krummel, Wegner, Patow, or Kruse (same as the third cousins) OR Alexander, McCann, Carr, Martin, Young, Hanlon, Pukel, Schiele, Bachmann, Heitmann, Schult, Moller, Kruse, Abel. Notice how the name Martin appears twice as does the name Kruse, additionally I am missing three other last names.
Why am I spending so much time figuring this out? I am hoping that I can use this info with the info I have from ancestry.com to find a few new relatives.
