Think Positive Cyber

On April 27, 2026, I am continuing my family tree research by sending messages to my known DNA connections. I am asking them to review my confirmed branch research and help identify which surnames they recognize in their own family tree. The goal is to use those surnames as clues so I can better understand where each DNA match belongs.

This project is mainly about separating my Luedtke-related matches from matches that may belong to other family branches. I do not want to mix the Luedtke line with non-Luedtke branches by mistake. If a DNA connection does not appear to match through Luedtke, then their surnames may help point toward another branch, such as McCabe, Johansen, Rice, Shapley, or another family group.

This will not prove every connection by itself, but it should help me organize the evidence. Surnames, shared matches, family trees, and records can work together like a sorting map. The more clearly I can separate one branch from another, the easier it will be to build a more accurate family tree.
