How Many Autosomal DNA Matches Descend From My Eight 2nd-Great-Grandparent Couples?
Let's find out!
1. Christen JENSEN (1839-1908) and Maren Margrethe HANSDATTER (1843-1902) have 0 DNA match descendants to my father.
Our matches are from Christen's sisters: Ane Margrethe Jensdatter (1835-1881), Gjedske Kirstine Johansen (1825-1880), and Jensine Pedersdatter (1842-1913), and from Maren Margrethe's sister: Larsine Andrea Hansdatter (b 1847)
2. Christian Peter POULSEN (1843-1910) and Mathilde Marie Lorentzdatter (1847 -1916) have 12 - 8 matches from other lines, and 4 from my great-grandmother Anna Marie POULSEN (1883-1918)
3. Lars Peder PEDERSEN (1845-1939) and Maren Sofie PEDERSEN (1854-1908) have 4 DNA match descendants, from their children Maren Sofie Pedersen (1892-1972) and Johannes Pedersen (1896 ~1952)
4. Christian HANSEN (1848-1922) and Ane Birgitte HANSEN (1865-1918) have 0 DNA match descendents. My great-grandmother Ella Marie HANSEN (1890-1975) was an only child.
Our matches are from Christian's brothers: Jens Peder Hansen (1833-1905), Hans Jørgen Hansen (1837-1917) aka John Hanson of Michigan, and Jørgen Hansen (1840-1916) aka John Hanson of Maine, and from Ane Birgitte's sister Ella Annette Hansen (1881-1971)
So 12 DNA matches descend from my paternal gr.gr.grandparents.
5. James ADAMS (1851-1913) and Emily BOUTCHER (1858-1942) have 12 DNA matches from other lines, 4 from my great-grandfather Llewellyn ADAMS (1881-1972)

Our matches are from Jean's siblings Margaret Alison (1849-1928), John Alison (1854-1900) and David Alison (1863-1885)
8. Charles Frederick CRESWICK (1845-1919) and Sarah Ann SHELVERTON (1856-1908) have 8 DNA matches from other lines
25 DNA matches from my maternal gr.gr.grandparents.
