How likely is pure chance, when I have three people, that closely (relatively) related to me, plus a load of distants matching with us all?
Lodgers, who knows?
Confirmed DNA matches. The closest is the second cousin I know about, where we have great grandparents in common. She’s not in doubt. We have the same family photos.
Other than that I have another second cousin and two third cousins, all the mystery people and then the more distant matches. My more distant matches generally confirm the Bodycote connection (yay!) and some other lines where people emigrated to the US in the middle of the 19th century. The rest are a complete mystery.
I’m still baffled.
