I can't physically see those private trees of matches but I can learn that a particular surname is there. Then I can add a birth location to the filter search to see if that Surname also appears in the area I am searching. Then either contact the person or do additional filter searches on associated surnames (marriages) that I know to narrow the match to a branch of the family and then contact.<br /><br />Using just the birth location (like a county) as a search filter with no surname entered can help narrow matches down quite a bit. This is especially helpful for more rural, smaller populated areas or if your people came from abroad, settled in a particular county and never moved for many decades.<br /><br />Gone Researching<br />http://goneresearching.blogspot.com/2016/01/intriguing-dna-match-may-be-first-lead.htmlgoneresearchinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425490218424236491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-61536194227706057462016-04-28T16:54:28.271-04:002016-04-28T16:54:28.271-04:00Very informative.
