What's with all the "[half]" business when Thomas Gilbert and Martha Wright are both of the parents?

Hi Scott .. I have been trying for many years now trying to make my connections on Wikitree. If you do a connection finder from Truesdale-360 to this profile Bancroft-86. My father being a Truesdale and my mother is maiden name Bancroft, through checking through dna results names I’m pretty confident I connect with these. The Truesdale’s from Boston in Lincolnshire eg: Truesdale-314 are closely connected with the Browne-549 families who are also from Boston in Lincolnshire. Yourself are closely with these names but I am having difficulty making the connection. Truesdale-314 families was early settlers with Endicott-21 and Winthrop-12 and Cotton-178 to settle around Boston Massachusetts.
