Why Does My Leeds Chart Contain More than Four Groups?

[@cathyd1030]

This makes a lot of sense. When I take out the extraneous descendants, I can get 3 groups for my Mom. There's no one who has tested who matches her maternal grandmother, who is the only one in her extended family who emigrated from Italy. (While we're in touch w/ some of our 2nd and 3rd cousins in Italy from that line, they have less than no interest in DNA testing.)

Great overview- didn’t know to exclude children/grandchildren of 1st cousins.

Thank you so much for the great video. I ended up with more than four groups, so this will be very helpful for getting back down to the four groups. Much appreciated.

I'm so glad it was helpful! Good luck as you continue your research.

This helps so much! I had done the Leeds method on my great grand aunt and so many extra lines came up. I suspected this was the reason but wasn’t sure what I needed to do. Thank you so much Diane!!❤
