Note: This series on Ancestry’s “We’re Related” app begins here.

Since I first wrote about my matches on Ancestry’s new app (click here), I’ve had a two more pop up, both in the Actors category:

Lucille Ball
John Wayne

The John Wayne match made me laugh because when I was a little girl, I always thought my dad was just like John Wayne – only better, of course. But this match is on my mom’s side, not my dad’s. In fact, both are on my mom’s side.

But I digress.

Of these two, the Lucille Ball connection looks like it might be legitimate. I’ll know more after further research.

I also started a WE’RE RELATED tree in Ancestry and have added these four matches (from the “part 1” list) so that I can study them more carefully:

Billy the Kid
Warren Buffett
Abraham Lincoln
Elizabeth Montgomery

Out of these four, the match that looks the most promising at this point is Abraham Lincoln – although I still have more research to do before calling this one a “good” match.

The matches for Elizabeth Montgomery and Warren Buffett will require quite a bit more research – so it’s too soon to tell whether either one is legitimate.

The “Billy the Kid” match is the most problematic, as it’s based entirely on the assumption that he was the son of William Harrison Bonney – which, as far as I can tell, has never been proven.
