Is there a method to find the nearest connection to me with a particlar surnmae [closed]

Question

I have just received a DNA match on My Heritage for a CONNER.  At the back of my mind I recall having this surname somewhere in my tree, but I foolishly thinned my watchlist down to blood relations and spouses only so I do not have any CONNERS on my watchlist.  The only way I have thought of to find if I have a CONNER is to go to the family list by searching on surname alone and then selecting each profile in turn and checking "connection to me" to find the nearest one.  This could be tedious.  Is there a better way?

Answer 1

If the nearest Conner is in your CC7, you could use the CC7 tree app, retrieve your CC7 and filter the result on the Conner LNAB. The degree number would show how far they are from you, but of course not all of them would be "DNA connected".

Thanks Riel.  I hadn't thought of that so I'll give it a whirl.  I have started on my method but have completed less than one percent and haven't found anything less than 24 dgrees yet.  I haven't contacted them on My Heritage yet so don't know if they are on wikitree or not.   

Many thanks for your work on Wikiapps by the way

That CC7 report is vary useful.  I was going to suggest a feature to download the data as an Excel file or CSV file, but I see it already does both.  

I didn't find any CONNERs. I now think i might have got confused with

Connie (1st name) versus Conner (2nd name)? 

Well i was born before the war.
