as a result (of this) and
as a consequence neither at least
consequently or even so
accordingly yet surely
for this reason but certainly
therefore for no doubt

probably
add reasons & info summarizing
also more formal
then too neutral & frequent at the same time
besides all in all after all
too that is apparently
again in other words possibly
