Hi, Amelia. Sometimes our DNA results will be a bit different than what we expect the results to look like, this is because we establish baseline ethnicity for our DNA test from contemporary people with known roots in a specific region. The 56,580 people whose DNA is used to establish baseline ethnicity is called our reference panel. What you get for your DNA results may be different than what you would expect them to be according to your family history, even histories proven through paperwork or other means. The results of this test are entirely based upon what you've inherited from both lines of your family with the information we have collected up to date. What you do inherit from your ancestors is randomized by genetic recombination, which may be the reason for differences in what you expected to inherit. You may find additional information regarding inheritance here: support.ancestry.com/s/article/Unexpected-Ethnicity-Results As DNA science improves, the number of regions we test for (and the countries covered in each region) may change in an attempt to narrow down the results to more precise locations. To understand how we determine your ethnicity, please view the article below: support.ancestry.com/s/article/DNA-Reference-Panel

Hi Patrick. You only got 50% of your mother's DNA. That means that there is 50% of your mom's DNA that you didn't get. Testing one of your siblings (who also got a random 50% of your mother's DNA) would give you about 75% of your mother's DNA to work with. Testing a 3rd sibling, means you will be working with about 88% of your mom's DNA. So, if you want to use your DNA Matches, and those of your siblings, to make new family history discoveries, the more of you that test, the more possibilities there are for discovery. Hope that makes sense.

How do endogamous populations like the Amish and Mennonites affect the DNA results and cousin matching? I have been contacted by several cousin matches that were adopted as infants and know nothing or next to nothing about their birth families but are really hoping I have the answers they have been searching for. All I am able to determine is that yes, we are related but I can not say what side of the family we are related on. My parent's lines criss cross several times at various points. It is very important that these concerns are addressed for those of us that are descended from these populations that have intermarried within their religious groups like the Amish have since they began centuries ago. Now, when an Amish or Mennonite couple marry, they are marrying their cousin. PLEASE help us with this issue. I bought most of the kits for my family to be tested and as it stands now, I have spent hundreds of dollars getting myself and my family tested and beyond our ethnicity estimates, it sits there useless to me and my family . . . .

Ancestry, it's been 2 years since the last ethnicity update when you added new reference populations. Of course, I can understand if you haven't added any new reference populations every six months, bu *TWO YEARS* should be enough time for you to have an update. An update is long due, ancestry.

+John Weston No. Both ancestry.com and 23andme have said they don't have a timeline on when they'll finally update their ethnicity portion. Tribecode just opened late last year, so I don't expect them to have one anytime soon. So far the only company that has updated is Geno 2.0 who now have "Geno 2.0: Next Generation" (why not a "Geno 3.0?"), which I still haven't seen any reviews of. On Roberta Estes' "DNA Explained," dna-explained.com/2015/11/18/2015-family-tree-dna-11th-international-conference-the-best-yet/ Family Tree DNA's 11th international conference says that Razib Khan (whom I don't really think very highly of, since he has been involved with some far right wing people, and I also don't understand why he, of all geneticists, was brought on by FTDNA to do their so-called "update" from the Population Finder) is talking about an update to the very terrible and underwhelming "myOrigins." The page says that this is supposed to happen in "due out in mid-late first quarter of 2016." It looks like there's supposed to be a new cluster aka category (mistakenly referred to by Roberta Estes as "reference population") for NA, but there's nothing saying on what the actual reference populations are. So far, this is the only thing I've seen on an update to the ethnicity portion at any of the companies unless you count Geno.

I don't know how they're going to do that without more of the same old five HGDP Indigenous reference populations.

At that small of an amount of shared DNA, I would hypothesize that it is more likely that you are only related through the mother's side of the family tree. It is just likely that some of the shared DNA has been filtered out through the Timber algorithm that Ancestry applies in order to downweight segments of DNA that appear to show up in what we call "pile-up" regions.

The DNA results that are available currently is really only useful for comparing to another family. For instance, if you have hit a brick wall in a certain line and there are several different prominent lineages of the same name, DNA can pinpoint which family you come from in order to concentrate your investigation in the right family line. DNA results come from only two people in each generation. Your father's patriarchal line and your mother's matriarchal line. So by the time you go back eight generations, which would be your g-g-g-g-g-grandparents, you have 256 persons and only two are counted. Each generation you go back, the number of people are doubled, and only two are counted in the DNA sequencing. So the ethnicity of your DNA test is only about 1% or less of what you actually are. Which is why you can know you have say Native American blood and yet have it not show up in your DNA results. Plus, parents only give a random 50% to each child, which is why the DNA of full siblings will not be the same. The 50% DNA you received from say, your father, will most likely not be the same as the 50% your sister received (unless you are an identical twin).
@AncestryUS8 жыл бұрын
+France2107 Your understanding of genetic inheritance is mostly correct. You do inherit 50% of your DNA from each of your parents. They inherited 50% of their DNA from each of their parents and so on. So, on average, 25% of your DNA will be from each of your 4 grandparents. About 12.5% of your DNA will be from each of your 8 great-grandparents and so on. Now, due to the randomness of inheritance, the math may not work out exactly that way once you get beyond your parents. But, at a 5th great-grandparent level, even though there are 256 of them, you likely have DNA from far more than just 2 of them. Hope that makes sense. (Crista)

Many of our members do take part in AncestryDNA with the aim of locating biological family, and many are successful and especially when it comes to close relatives like a biological parents. However, we always want to be clear that there's no guarantees what you may find as it depends on who you may match with. This said, most people have hundredth of matches. When you take an AncestryDNA test you will be linked with everyone else in our database that share DNA with you across your biological maternal and paternal lineage, and by reviewing them you may be able to locate links with your biological parents and get in touch.

The majority of these surnames are Western European (I'm Native American/Iberian peninsula/Cameroon), & to the best of my knowledge, direct ancestors didn't marry Europeans. Even the Hispanic surnames don't match to the records I have. So, do they fall into the "random ethnicity/match" category? Having a hard time wrapping my head around this....

So, how many centimorgans of DNA do you share with the top three matches on your list?

Hi Chuck. Everyone gets exactly 50% of their DNA from each parent. But, you get a random 50% of your parents' DNA not an equal 50/50 split of all of their DNA. Does that make sense?

It's for them to know and for you to research about. You can't expect scientists to give out every critical data out to the public. It's like asking how does a plumber fix the sink? Geneticist researches their information.
