If someone is a DNA match on a very well researched line and they've posted a tree, we are almost always related on the branch that just shows a parent or grandparent. Often they know all about that line and are afraid of getting 40 messages from DNA cousins.

But I want to attach them to my tree. So I have to research them all the way back to our common ancestor.

Which makes me want to send a message because of all the work I did to figure out how we're related. 😁 #Genealogy
