Found new DNA connections

My results:

  Gedmatch.com has this really cool option where you can compare your DNA to many different DNA’s or if you want to compare one to one you can also do that. Today, I used the one-to-one matching tool to see if any of the 15 DNA accounts that I manage for friends and family have any common ancestors. I learned that I am approximately a 7th cousin to my stepdaughters!  (through their mother’s side). When matching trees and connecting DNA matches you realize just how small our world really is. I narrowed down that our common ancestor had to come from my grandmother Beatrice Batchelder’s family tree line, since they were also a DNA match to her. I know that it is down the Cady line - and might connect the the ancestors from Canada. Our next step is trying to figure out who the exact ancestor was approximately 7 generations ago. I love making new discoveries! This hobby is so addicting.
