So the past couple of days I have been about to communicate with Sandra Fisher Woolsey. I was not getting any response on the Ancestry site, so using the power of google, I was finally able to find an email address I sent a simple inquiry to. Luckily she received it and responded. What a great opportunity. I was able to convince her to share her ANCESTRY DNA results with me through the Ancestry Site. Ancestry allows you to share your DNA results in a way similar to sharing your tree, in that now, I can look at all of Sandra's matches. Using AncestryDNA helper, I was able to go through and cross tabulate her results with mine and pull out the line to concentrate on.
It seems the next few weeks will be looking at her COZART and PRIEST lines. I matched someone that shows on her list as a 1st/2nd Cousin, someone who shows as 2nd/3rd Cousin and a smattering of people further out. This is awesome in that I can really start narrowing down the search for how we are matched up. No longer do I have to search her entire tree. I can concentrate SURNAMES that all of us match together. Since COZART and PRIEST are new in my line, I would never have found the matches without her sharing her results with me.
Lets start today and see how long it takes me to find our MCRA.
