<\/a><\/p>\nTracey shows as a likely 4th cousin once removed to Sharon.<\/p>\n
Here is my Snell DNA Tree:<\/p>\n
Looks like my Snell DNA tree got too large, and I built a tree just for descendants of Otis Snell and Ann Parker. Sharon is on the lower left and Tracey’s likely ancestor Albert Snell is on the right.<\/p>\n Tracey’s Ancestry Tree goes back to Norman Snell born in Rochester, MA:<\/p>\n It should be an easy task to join Tracey’s tree with mine. I’ll add Tracey to my tree as a floating tree and then her connect her to my Snell line in the likely event that the genealogy checks out.<\/p>\n When I look at Tracey’s shared matches with Sharon, I also see Jeanne:<\/p>\n Jeanne is one generation closer to Sharon as a 4th cousin and Jeanne’s grandfather is seen on Tracey’s tree. Here is a record connecting Tracey to her father:<\/p>\n Here is Tracey’s dad and his family in 1950 in Wayland, MA:<\/p>\n Here is Katherine in 1930 in Framingham with her family:<\/p>\n I already have Norman in my Ancestry Tree, so now I merge the Nornan of the Census with the Norman in my Tree:<\/p>\n Then I can add Tracey and Jeanne to my Snell DNA Tree:<\/p>\n There is Tracey. Jeanne shows as being a 1st cousin once removed by DNA. At that level there is very doubt of the relationship.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
