The useful thing about Ancestry's groups is that you can let a match be associated with any number of groups.
Best Mate and I are are not related (so far as we know!) but an obstinate little group of her matches also crop up among mine. So I have a group for her matches (just for fun) which doesn't stop me also using more sensible groupings as well

Interesting. I just need to prepare our dinner and then I will have some time to have another try.

Well, I have ten groups now, but only half of them have more than one person in!
I still feel despondent. Also, on this laptop I am running out of coloured dots from Ancestry as several of them look the same as each other. Maybe a spread sheet would be better as it would be more instant to see who is in which group and not have to keep clicking back and forth? I have sorted out the people who seemed to be connected through my father and mother - they are all my father's relatives. Time for another lie down!

I think using a spreadsheet might be the best bet. Then when you have sorted groups you can colour code them on ancestry.
Using the Leeds method just start at the first match and work your way down. I put all names from the ancestry match list on a spreadsheet, picked the first match, gave them a colour and coloured all shared matches. Then I looked at the second match. If they did not match the first one, they got a second colour and repeat. Don't try and work anything out at first, not until you are fed up with assigning colours. The issue is that the further down the tree you get the more spread the DNA is so it might look like people aren't related although they really are.

I know I am not incredibly think, but on this I feel I am! Why don't I get it? I did statistics as part of my A Level maths course and that was the only part I was any good at. I should get this as it seems similar, but I really don't. It doesn't help when the only DNA match I've come across where there really looked like the connection between me and the other person was earlier than the line on my tree currently goes back to, involves me having an earlier ancestor who I believe was buried aged 4 or 5, growing up and having children! That didn't fill me with confidence! I can't un-see the burial. Quote:
