Why does a DNA match share far more DNA with you than the family tree suggests they should?

Why do the same surnames and families keep appearing in different branches of your matches?

Or perhaps a group of DNA matches seems closely connected, but you just can’t work out a single common ancestral line.

In The Enduring Effects of Limited Options: Endogamy, Multiple Relationships and Pedigree Collapse, Elena Falla Fowler explores what happens when our ancestors had a limited pool of potential partners and family lines became interconnected, sometimes many times over.

Discover how endogamy, multiple relationships and pedigree collapse can affect the DNA we inherit and the matches we see today, and learn how recognising these patterns can help unravel confusing DNA results and point your research in more productive directions.
