Can someone explain why my DNA connection shows my ex-husband as my own dna connection. No blood there!

Question

Can someone explain why my Mayflower DNA connection shows my ex-husband.  I don't need to see his.  I want only my paternal lineage.

Thank you,

Carol

Answer 1

When you are on the connection finder view, and you see the whole line of people connecting you to the Mayflower passenger, you can click the small "x" (top right) on any person, and the connection will be re-configured without that person. If you want to see a blood-relation connection, instead use the Relationship Finder. (You can go to, say, Richard Warren (1583-1628), then hover over Warren-66 at the top right, and click Relationship to Me.

Answer 2

Connections can and often do include marriages thus the reason for your spouse being listed.

i get many many american connections coming through my spouse because he is from North America and I am not.
