I am so excited!!! I was able to track back a connection with a cousin listed on my Ancestry DNA results. I found the surname "Hoare" on his family tree which i recognized from researching my father's family. I checked back in my notes and the answer was there! Bridget Hoare was the daughter of Daniel Hoare and Bridget McHugh (a name i didn't have on my tree). When i researched Bridget McHugh, i found the common connection. Bridget was actually the sister of my great grandfather Michael McHugh. Their parents were Owen McHugh and Ann Brown.
There is still a mystery of an additional brother named Owen that i am trying to verify. I'm hoping with this new resource from the DNA results, i can use the connections' trees to provide some information and unlock a few key facts.
The DNA results have given me a great new tool. The test was worth every penny!
