AncestryDNA brick wall help!?! My AncestryDNA account is linked to my public, confirmed match Ancestry tree. I do, however, have other unconfirmed, "theory" trees that I have set as private in Ancestry.
In my typical setup on ADNA, I have never received any DNA+Tree matches on my Anderson surname (a genealogical brick wall of mine).
Previous family research on my Anderson line has revealed two theories of my Anderson line prior to my 4GGF, James Anderson. I have produced a private Ancestry tree based on each of the two theories.
As a thought, I changed my ADNA-assigned tree to one of my theory trees. Lo and behold, I had Anderson surname DNA+Tree matches that I did not have prior using my tree of confirmed relatives.
My question - Do these new matches revealed using the theory tree with AncestryDNA confirm Anderson relatives before my 4GGF?
