I was still a bit worried about my wretched Mallets, because there are another couple of people on Ancestry that I should have a match with but don't; however, right on cue a new match has just come through (a descendant of Henry Mallet's uncle James) that definitely confirms my Mallet connection, so that's a great relief. i don't even need to check out his tree, because I already had his grandfather and ancestors on my tree.
I probably wouldn't even have noticed the match, as it's only 8 cM, except that Ancestry did the Thrulines thing. Luckily I check my unread Common Ancestors occasionally.
I was initially sceptical about Thrulines, because it's presumably entirely automated, but I've found it extremely helpful on several occasions.
