It may tell you a common ancestor, but not necessarily who that is.

The other guy, not my uncle, had good documentation to take his line back to Abner, who did have a son Abraham. With the DNA match, Mother considered that enough to tie Abraham to Abner, though we have never found the birth certificate for Abraham.

At least Mama died believing she’d broken that last brick wall!

I’ve heard of people sending their DNA to different testers and being placed into different haplogroups. I think this is what “Which Computing” is referring to.

But I haven’t read criticism of the “close ancestry”. It doesn’t tell you ‘how’ you are related, though.
