It also confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between RG (a descendant of the Ann Murdoch ancestral line) and RB (a descendant of the Brigham Murdoch ancestral line) with a shared segment of 56.22 cM across 3 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 MM (a descendant of the Janett Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) and KA (a descendant of the David Steele Murdock ancestral line) with a shared segment of 88.35 cM across 4 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 MM (a descendant of the Janett Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) and RJM (a descendant of the James Crawford Murdock ancestral line) with a shared segment of 70.28 cM across 4 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 2nd cousin, twice removed relationship between RJM (a descendant of the James Crawford Murdock ancestral line) and CU (a descendant of the Jacobina Wells Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) with a shared segment of 86.89 cM across 2 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 2nd cousin, once removed relationship between JJ (a descendant of the Jacobina Wells Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) and JH (a descendant of the Brigham Murdoch ancestral line) with a shared segment of 101.76 cM across 4 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 2nd cousin, once removed relationship between BJM (a descendant of the Millicent Sophia Murdoch ancestral line) and BLS (a descendant of the David Steele Murdock ancestral line) with a shared segment of 163.72 cM across 7 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, Brigham Murdoch, Janett Osborne Murdoch, Millicent Sophia Murdoch, James Crawford Murdock and Sarah Jane Murdoch is provided by an additional 95 DNA confirmed relationships among other tested descendants tracing back to these lines.
