Matches

There were a couple of DNA matches that could be from either the Borucki or Budny lines. I have a cousin from Uncle Sonny’s first marriage that I have never reached out to connect with before. It was a short email just to introduce myself.
Hoping that the matches to my Polish side could narrow my research, I contacted two matches who I shared over 200 centimorgans either with me or my father’s DNA kit.
This first individual was a second to third cousin match to my father. I was thinking that this person was a daughter to one of my grandfathers’ sister. Yeah, no. I received a response in less than an hour. Woohoo! This person is a match through the Borucki line. They have a non-paternity event (NPE). I responded back with a couple of contenders from my great uncle, Ignacy Francis Borucki (a/k/a Frank Borke) family tree.
A match at MyHeritage shows an individual as a possible second cousin, first cousin once removed, or half first cousin once removed. We either share the same the great grandparents or great-great grandparents. This person lives in Germany. My message to him via MyHeritage was both in English and German, using Goggle Translate. Not enough individuals listed in his tree. One of the surnames he has is Zielinski. I have seen the surname at www.geneteka.genealodzy.pl when searching Borucki and Budny records in the Mazowieckie Province of Poland
