This may be related to Why might number of Shared Ancestor Hints go down on AncestryDNA? but I think it is a more specific question, and so, at least for now, I do not think that it should be considered a duplicate.
On Ancestry.com when I click the DNA link at the top I am currently told that I have 25 Shared Ancestor Hints and 130 4th cousins or closer. Amongst my 4th cousins or closer is an individual X with whom I have 36 centimorgans shared across 3 DNA segments. X is not amongst my Shared Ancestor Hints, and I am trying to determine the reason for that.
- Both X and I have public trees with around 2,000 or more people in them.
- X has an ancestor named Jane Harvey:
- B: 6 Dec 1759 in , Devon, , England
- D: 14 Sep 1824 in Totnes, Devon, England
- I have an ancestor named Jane Harvey:
- B: Bef 6 Jun 1759 in Totnes, Devon, England
- D: 14 Sep 1824 in Totnes, Devon, England
- X has an ancestor named James Murch:
- B: 5 Aug 1757 in Totnes, Devon, England
- D: 1810 in Totnes, Devon, England
- I have an ancestor named James (II) Murch:
- B: 05 Aug 1757 in Totnes, Devon, England
- D: 31 Dec 1810 in Totnes, Devon, England
Is the way that I have named James Murch as James (II) Murch (whose older brother James died a week after being baptised) the likely reason for X not showing up in my Shared Ancestor Hints or is it something about the dates and locations of the events listed that may be preventing it?
