Hi.
Wondering if anyone can help on finding out a connection between me and my 5th cousin.

We both did dna and found each other through the matches.
We would like to know the connection as we don't hold any matching surnames in our trees.
Is it possible to find out ?
What steps would we need to take to trace to family members if none match in trees.
Thank u . Yr help will be very much appriciated. Xxx

How far back have you gone with your family tree? If you are 5th cousins then you should share a great great great grandparent. Have you both got back that far in your research? You will each have 16 sets of great, great, great grandparents so there are a lot of names to get through.

Thank u for your reply. That's a great help to undrstand who we have to look for. I think on my mums dads side I have. But.....not my mum's mum's side. Not much on her.
And my dad's mum's side I have found zero on her.
Have asked in another thread .
Once we add them to our my heritage trees we should know.
Thank u loads for yr help. Xxx

If you want to give some names and approximate dates and places of birth then I can see what I can find.

You really need to buy certificates so that you know you are following the correct family.

I had one similar and the connection was wayyyyy back
The connection was through the widow who married my grt x 3 grandfather in 1850 and one of their children who I am descended from and a descendent from her first marriage who the connection is descended from


Shows it works though

The only thing i can add is that some of the references on India records ( on FMP) to Rosario surname seem to suggest it may be Portuguese.

Thank u Shirley. Aww glad yr in touch with them. It's lovely isn't it when we find family members no matter how we r connected ......xxx

That might be my nan but I'm sure she was born about 1903 or there abouts. And she was florence gasper......as my pop (grandad) was gasper.....
Does it say they had children ?
Strange

That's my dad Shirley that's the ship he came here with.
He came with his friend George hardaker whom I did find :-D :-D
But unfortunately my dad had passed away when I found him....
