Hi

I checked mine to him here how I match. I think I am distantly related dna wise. This not enough to confirm it though. Adam Barnes would be my Seventh great grandfather. Wonder why my dna don’t show in list????

Bud Barnes passed on 21 Sep 2021, he was 103 years old.

Could be a valid match but all Bud's ancestors go back to 1600's immigrants from England and Scotland. Might be a connection to Pocahontas according to Family search. My records show possible connection to Susanna Pawmunkey Swann daughter of Chief Totopomoi, who married Cornelius Dabney.

DNA information above needs to be entered by individuals, I think.
