4. I'm assuming that is from the DNA test?

I have 15, that's right, 15 second and third cousins from the Ancestry DNA test. 429 fourth cousin and closer. This is two years after getting my test results. My tree, which I have been working on for 20 years, went from around 3000 to now over 11,100 in the last two years. When you start adding fifth, sixth, seventh cousins to your tree, it gets bigger fast.
