DNA and branch research
Finding our shared R-FT194071 ancestor
Browse the research
Four disconnected branches form this research puzzle. Each chart begins with its earliest named person, shows the selected descendants, and identifies the evidence needed to work backward or connect to another line.
R-FT194071 shared-ancestor notes explain the DNA evidence and estimated period. The branches are not four established children of that ancestor.
Family groups remain separate records for couples, marriages and children. Follow a person’s family-group link for those details; use the branch chart to investigate the missing ancestry.
