Carrie Underwood is supposed to be my 9th cousin, once removed, though our MRCA, PRIVATE!  Now, #ancesrty.com that really gives me a great deal of confidence. Couple that with the generation prior to PRIVATE is PRIVATE FEMALE, my 7 times great grandmother, the mother of 6 times great grandmother, Mary Lovell (1704-1740) whom ancestry.com’s app previously told me was Elizabeth Dyer (1680-1747).   Now, PRIVATE, my 8th great grandparent in this pedigree could represent either my 8 times great grandfather or 8 times great grandmother, they were not specific.  But, the first entry below PRIVATE on Carrie’s chart was John Dyer (1710-1773).   So, potentially, it could really be either.  But, it is a secrect!  Shhhhhhhhhhhh.  (At least it is this time)
