Hi Cheri, Thanks. Your cM explanation really helps to explain parameters. I suspect the lower levels are my ‘target’ generations? The ‘we’ refers to the cousin (hopefully) who contacted me. Per paper research, she is 4th cousin (also verified by DNA [ancestry]) to someone who is my 6th

Hi Gayle, Cheri answered your question, but for context: I mentioned "Gertrudes" because in the records I've looked at, it seemed to be an extremely popular name for girls in the late 19th century-- something I would never have guessed. The article Cheri linked to stated that "As far as
