I just did a gedmatch comparison of our kit #'s and we do have a small match. It says: Estimated number of generations to MRCA = 7.5. My kit # is KQ5512045.
I know very little about Margaret Maher other than she is a gggm on my mother's side and she married my gggf Richard Roche on 21 Nov 1843 in St. John's. Apparently she was from Ferryland, or some place nearby although I do not know that for a fact. Given the year of their marriage I'll make a guess she would have been born around 1820. Richard died in 1872. Her ID# on my Wikitree is Maher-1947.
I looked at your tree on Ancestry and it appears your Maher ancestor from that time period was born in Ireland and then went to Greenspond. That isn't near Ferryland so I'll make a guess our Maher connection would be in Ireland not Newfoundland.
Let me know what you think. Thanks for getting in touch!

Thank you for adding your DNA to WikiTree. Getting the Best from DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.

Thank you for adding a GEDCOM. The GEDCOM does not automatically populate your tree it generates a GEDCOMpare report which you work through either accepting or rejecting suggested matches, once that has been done, you add any remaining names manually. The GEDCOMpare process guide has tips on how to use the data in your file most efficiently.
