Yes, shared derived characters indicate a common ancestry among taxa. These characters are traits that are unique to a particular group and are inherited from a common ancestor. The presence of shared derived characters in multiple species suggests that they share a common evolutionary history.
Three is the number. Van Buren was actually raised in a Dutch-speaking home. The two Roosevelts had a Dutch ancestry and shared a Dutch last name.
Homologous structures are structures that indicate a related evolutionary ancestry, not just similarity. For example, the flipper of a whale, the wing of a bird, and the arm of a a human are similar in their bone structure. Analogous structures are structures that are similar in appearance and function but are not the result of shared ancestry. For example, the wings of a birds and insects have the same function, but they do not reflect a shared ancestry.
This group of Indians would likely be considered an ethnic group. They would have common characteristics such as language, culture, ancestry, and possibly a shared name or identification. Examples of such groups could include the Navajo or Cherokee tribes in the United States.
To copy a family tree on Ancestry, you can use the "Export Tree" feature to download a GEDCOM file of your tree. This file can then be uploaded to another family tree software or shared with others.

Common ancestry refers to the shared biological heritage between two or more species, indicating that they all descend from a common ancestor. For example, scientists study common ancestry to understand the evolutionary relationships between different species and trace their evolutionary history.
Cladistics is a phylogenetic classification system that uses shared derived characters and ancestry as the sole criterion for grouping taxa. It aims to create monophyletic groups, where each group includes an ancestor and all its descendants.
Molecular homology refers to similarities in DNA or protein sequences among different organisms. These similarities suggest a common evolutionary ancestry and are used to infer evolutionary relationships and trace the diversification of species over time. Molecular homology is a key principle in molecular biology and evolutionary studies.
Homologous structures are features that originated in a shared ancestor, such as the bones in the limbs of vertebrates. These features may have different functions in modern organisms but have similar underlying structures due to their common ancestry.
