The families below are pre-1750 with DNA matches across various of our Golden lines that branched between 1770 and 1790. They are probably our grandparent or first or second cousin lines. Having access to a wide range of DNA tests for members of our extended family, DNA matches with the various branches are added to and identified within my Ancestry.com tree. There are five descendant lines that represent the ‘always check first’ for relevant DNA matches:
