   Ah!  I think I get it now, thanks!   
      
   It turned out that someone descended, on their father's side, from 4th   
   Gt Grandparents of mine.  On their mother's side they descended from X   
   and Y who were also the nxGreat Grandparents of Ancestry Member.  From   
   that, Ancestry determined that Ancestry Member and I shared my 4th Great   
   Grandparents as common ancestors.
