My Thrulines on Ancestry.com have been hit or miss lately. They suggest DNA relationships based on family trees and DNA matches. They can be completely wrong based on wrong trees on the site. Additionally, your Thrulines could disappear if someone deletes or makes private a large tree that the Ancestry algorithm is using to make the connection. Even when it’s wrong though, I’m normally able to use it to get clues suggesting a direction in which to look.

My Allmond Thrulines aren’t that great right now and I suspect this has to do with a geneanet tree that Ancestry is using. I’ve seen the tree; they have confused the four sons of Moses Allmond and with four sons of Tony Allmond that have the same first names (Moses, John, James and Joseph). While my Allmond Thrulines is ragedy right now, some of the others are very helpful.

For the first time, I clicked on my fifth great-grandfather Willis Blizzard, father of my fourth great-grandmother Martha Blizzard (Cypress) and found some Blizzard ancestors that are my matches. This looks promising. I would have never found this without Martha Blizzard’s surname.

(I have blurred them for privacy.)

I can’t wait to dive into this!
