Default 344 4th cousins.....

I may regret having my aunt's DNA tested!

Who can beat this?

It fascinates me that sib's child has nearer 150, and I less than 250.

Can't beat it, but one of my relatives has 313.

My dad has 388 4th cousin or closer matches, and my daughter 198. We know that about 50 of Dad's matches are from his direct paternal line.

In total Dad has over 41,000 matches and I have not bothered with any less than 20cMs unless Ancestry suggests a common ancestor or there is a large family tree. We have picked up half a dozen in the 7-8cMs range who have a common ancestor (his 5xgreat grandparents).

I like Common Ancestor feature better than the ThruLines and DNA Circles.

I haven't explored Thrulines enough. It has confirmed the close matches, who for the most part, I had already been in contact with. Further up the tree it either confirms what I already have or has something I've disproven and you can't get rid of an incorrect Thrulline to get a better/different option.

Common ancestors is good for showing how matches are related but I still haven't got any further back.
