This interactive ThruLines page maps Anderson family descendants in Jamaica who descend from the common ancestor Mary McDonald, organized by their relationship to Marie at the Ketcham House. The connections are based on DNA matches and on individuals identified within our carefully constructed family trees. Expand the branches to explore how each descendant line connects and how genetic evidence supports these relationships.

DNA has transformed family history, revealing connections once thought impossible. People are discovering that longtime family friends are actually biological relatives, uncovering hidden branches of their trees—and in one remarkable case in Toronto, a woman learned she had more than 600 half-siblings. These discoveries are more than surprises; they are guides, helping people find their origins, understand their identities, and reclaim histories that were never written down.
