Hi Cynthia,
First, it's good hearing from you.
Second, I assume this is regarding Relative Finder and your autosomal test.
I'm not clearly following the email because of the way the formatting came
out. But the ancestor you have in common is Nancy Cooley, right?
I have a Nancy Cooley born 1797, daughter of John II who married Matthew
Lane. But I suspect you have that.
What is the predicted degree of relationship? How many and how large are
the matched segments?
If indeed she is from the Stokes Cooleys, I'd encourage her to upload her
data to gedmatch.com and to get involved with our "John's Auto" Project:
