It also confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between RG (a descendant of the Ann Murdoch ancestral line) and KKS (a descendant of the Joseph Alexander Murdoch ancestral line) with a shared segment of 122.87 cM across 5 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between RG (a descendant of the Ann Murdoch ancestral line) and DBL (a descendant of the David Steele Murdock ancestral line) with a shared segment of 131.04 cM across 5 HIR segments.

It also confirms a distant cousin relationship between MM (a descendant of the Janett Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) and EC (a descendant of the Jacobina Wells Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) with a shared segment of 54.76 cM across 1 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 2nd cousin, twice removed relationship between MM (a descendant of the Janett Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) and MKL (a descendant of the Joseph Alexander Murdoch ancestral line) with a shared segment of 120.46 cM across 5 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 2nd cousin, twice removed relationship between DBL (a descendant of the David Steele Murdock ancestral line) and JCD (a descendant of the Janett Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) with a shared segment of 101.96 cM across 5 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 2nd cousin, once removed relationship between MM (a descendant of the Janett Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) and BJM (a descendant of the Millicent Sophia Murdoch ancestral line) with a shared segment of 200.88 cM across 6 HIR segments.

It also confirms a distant cousin relationship between ANA (a descendant of the Jacobina Wells Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) and JM (a descendant of the Sarah Jane Murdoch ancestral line) with a shared segment of 21.26 cM across 2 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between JWF (a descendant of the David Steele Murdock ancestral line) and JM (a descendant of the Sarah Jane Murdoch ancestral line) with a shared segment of 59.80 cM across 3 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 2nd cousin, twice removed relationship between EC (a descendant of the Jacobina Wells Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) and KM (a descendant of the Joseph Alexander Murdoch ancestral line) with a shared segment of 113.64 cM across 4 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between NA (a descendant of the David Steele Murdock ancestral line) and KKS (a descendant of the Joseph Alexander Murdoch ancestral line) with a shared segment of 104.68 cM across 4 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 2nd cousin, once removed relationship between AJ (a descendant of the Joseph Alexander Murdoch ancestral line) and BJM (a descendant of the Millicent Sophia Murdoch ancestral line) with a shared segment of 154.84 cM across 6 HIR segments.

These matches are consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.

Further support for shared ancestry within Ann Murdoch, Jacobina Wells Osborne Murdoch, Joseph Alexander Murdoch, David Steele Murdock, Janett Osborne Murdoch, Millicent Sophia Murdoch and Sarah Jane Murdoch is provided by an additional 94 DNA confirmed relationships among other tested descendants tracing back to these lines.
