I did an Ancestry DNA test and some of the matches did not have any connection in my tree.
I concluded that my great grandfather William Darcy Armstrong is not connected to me by blood. Although he did marry my great grandmother Kathleen (who is proven through DNA) while she was pregnant with my grandfather William JR Armstrong.
I believe she was impregnated prior to getting together with William Darcy Armstrong.
I started a separate tree in Ancestry called mystery tree to try and connect all my unknown DNA matches to one another. I have had some success, but it's still a brick wall.
My closest unknown has 123cM with 2% shared DNA with me. Listed as a possible 2nd-3rd cousin in Ancestry DNA. He is in my mystery tree but I have not found a connection with him to the other unknowns.
The next match has 106cM with 2% shared DNA and she is also listed in Ancestry DNA as a possible 2nd-3rd cousin. She is in my mystery tree and I have connected a lot of the unknowns to her and that tree is pretty detailed.
Is there a genealogical expert that is able to help with this brick wall?
I have a similar situation on my mother's side but I mainly want to focus on this wall because technically my last isn't Armstrong and I want to know my true DNA roots.
Thank you to anyone who can help.
