🤔 Start with this GEDmatch Tool Next 👉🏼 Are Your Parents Related? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqe9goFjhKZsfdk
@janetnavin66303 жыл бұрын
When you started out talking about "Are your parents related?" I thought there is no way my parents are related, but then I thought about it some more and realized I should run this tool on my mom. My mom's grandparents were all born in Sweden. I hadn't thought about that before.
@FamilyHistoryFanatics3 жыл бұрын
Glad I could challenge your thinking. The point is to add information on how to review your results. If my wife's parents had tested, they would have discovered that they are not related at all. Their biological family lines come from different parts of the world for 5 generations. After that, sure, they're related at some point. What that tells her is that when she finds that someone is related to her father, then she no longer needs to tell if they are related to her mother. Sadly, she finds far more maternal matches than her paternal lines (the one with all of her mysteries.)

Stumbled across this and wow, lots of information to ingest. Hoping that this tool can help me digest some data I have from AncestryDNA. I'm hoping this can help determine between a potential half-sibling or niece/nephew, wince the number of shared cM between those groups is similar.

The first thing to do with GEDmatch and DNA is to 1. Ignore the haplogroup because it doesn't help you build our your family tree in any meaningful way. 2. Be sure you understand how to build a famiy tree based on records kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKmVhZmcYrdgr6s and genetics kzbin.info/aero/PLcVx-GSCjcdmsw25mbI-wJin_9_9QQUzI 3. When you understand these concepts, then review the GEDmatch tools in the order I explained in this video. I know genetic genealogy is daunting. Take your time. Keep learning and you'll get the hang of this in no time.

Your next step would be to attempt to do living person research for the matches who won't respond. Here's an article that might be useful www.familytreemagazine.com/strategies/tracking-down-living-relatives/ Once you figure out who they might be, see if you can build their family tree and then use it in your research. Sometimes you don't need a match to respond to use them in your research.

Jim D asks: I have learned a lot with all your GedMatch videos. I have never seen mother and son DNA matches discussed. At Family Tree DNA I am helping a friend. FTDNA has they match 3760cM. This does not make sense as he should have his DNA from each parent. And if they match almost exactly, what is the value of having her tested other than helping identify her ancestry and cousins. Thank you for explaining this.
@FamilyHistoryFanatics2 жыл бұрын
When you key in that cM into the website tool dnapainter.com/tools/sharedcmv4 You'll see that 3760 is just above the parent/child threshold. It's possible that the child's parents are related to each other so that they have more DNA to share with the child.

If you know which line your 3rd cousin belongs to, that should help you, at least with some of your DNA matches. My wife has the same problem.

@FamilyHistoryFanatics2 жыл бұрын
I would recommend you stick with the Autosomal matches as few people have the x-DNA in their kits. With regard to finding your maternal line, there are several factors at play. 1. Your maternal DNA matches might not have added their DNA to GEDmatch. 2. Your maternal DNA matches have not taken DNA at all. 3. There are not enough descendants on your DNA line to take a test. I discussed the problem of small families in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnunm3udZpiEnas

Actually I will just ask it here and perhaps You can direct me if there is a better place in the future. Recently watched your video "are You related to all those matches" and Andy said that population segments can be as large as thirty centimorgans in rare cases. I have a segment that seems likely from an Irish great-grandmother, but I share it as a triangulated segment with maybe twenty people, a number in Ireland. Also, the segment appears to possibly connected with another group of matches later on the same chromosome, also with some of the people located in Ireland. The connected segment is 60 or more centimorgans long. My question is, what kind of segment is this likely to be? Since it is with a large number of people as a triangulated match, around 30 centimorgans, and others in Ireland show up around 30 later on the segment, could this be a population segment or more recent ancestor?
@FamilyHistoryFanatics2 жыл бұрын
Either or both. Ireland has a rather small mostly homogenous population so there is the possibility that you could have even larger population level segments.

@christhomas95212 жыл бұрын
Suggest you try a Y37 DNA test with FTDNA. I used this to prove my great grandfather changed his surname to Thomas - from the paternal line name of Styles. The test will not identify your husband's father, but it will likely point you in the right direction. If you can identify the correct surname to research, it will save a huge amount of time. Once you have the correct surname you can focus in through the autosomal tests on Gedmatch. Good luck.

No match between me or any of my close relatives. Now, he did match a 5th cousin on my mother's side. He also matched a person who might be related to my husband, but no match to my bio daughter. I ran the one-to-one autosomal tool. It showed a low match at 3.8 on some segments.
