I recently had a notification that my wife had a close relative match named Adria:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Adria has two Boggy trees and one Butler tree, so I assume the match is on the Butler side:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fortunately, I had tested my wife’s Aunts before they passed away. When I check the Aunt with the biggest match I see that Adria is likely a grand niece. When I check Lorraine’s shared matches with the closest match to Adria, I find Jasmine:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This could be a short Blog, because the two people icon near Jasmine means that Ancestry likely knows how Lorraine and Jasmine are related:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That meansn that the private box above Jasmine must be Adrai. The John Butler above was my wife’s Uncle Jake. Adria apparently lives in Illinois which is perhaps why my wife had lost touch.<\/p>\n

Updating Jake<\/h2>\n

This would be a good time to update Jake in my Anestry tree:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t even have his wife.<\/p>\n

I added some information to my Tree. I see now that Jasmine, her mother and grandfather John have all tested at Ancestry. Here is a photo of Uncle Jake from Findagrave:<\/p>\n
