David,
Do you know about GedMatch?
http://v2.gedmatch.com/login1.php
Gedmatch has a variety of Tools for DNA & Genealogy Research.
You can download your DNA results from Ancestry (or other DNA sites) and then compare your DNA with other users.
The end results are very interesting, you can even compare chromosome matches with other users you match up with.
It may be a way for us Davis cousins to compare matches if we have used different DNA services.
And, what is interesting is that one of my top matches is a Fred Krause!
Can you tell from the email address whether it is the same Fred Krause?
Laura

Subject: RE: Interesting cousin result on Ancestry DNA
I did the 23andme and submitted my moms dna. We have over 1000 matches.
Been in contact with distant family. What surprises me is that some females with only maternal matches opt out of accepting contact. Males generally have both maternal and paternal matches. After looking at the Davis family tree I see Spencers on the tree and on paternal Spencer tree see Davis. We are from the Ishmael Davis line whos father was Mirandi Davis whos father was Jeremiah Davis. Our closest match is Fred Krause whos gg grandfather was Ebenezor Davis Mirandis brother. I spoke with Jane Devota who is from New Lothrup a few miles from my home town Chesaning is related through her mothers Dupraw line who is decended from Ebenezor.
