Why do you 'need' to find a connection? You can only find what exists - a connection can't be manufactured.

I am looking at a DNA match I have with a Forster and am trying to find a common ancestor . Holgate is a surname we share and its in the right place . Kent /Essex. On this occasion I am not working from the known to the unknown.
Thank you Pam
