Finally, a video that easily explains how to determine who fits where. Thanks for showing how to chart them. Make more videos!

I like the music, but it is extremely annoying when trying to follow the narrative. Otherwise, the presentation is excellent and well presented.

Ancestry now makes it easier by telling you whether your matches are on your Paternal or Maternal side (it would be great if they could go one step further and split them up among our four grandparents). They also have Thrulines, which compares your family tree with that of your matches to find common ancestors. But Thrulines is only as good as the family tree you give it. For Thrulines to work well, you need to have a very detailed family tree that goes back several generations and includes not just your ancestors, but also their siblings, and the siblings' children.

I found your videos very helpful. I have. 8 groups on my Leeds chart, however, I can see the connections with the four main groups. When this happens should you add another row above showing great parents or combine them into one of the four main colours?

Thanks for watching! I'm not sure what you mean by adding another row. Feel free to reach out through our website and I'll do my best to answer your question

Is it beneficial to extend your cM range if you don't have too many matches within the 90-400 range? Or is there a distinct reason why we wouldn't do this? Mine split into 6 groups currently. 1 - my paternal grandmother's mother's side - 3 people 2 - my paternal grandmother's father's side (much more mystery and chaos there) - 3 people 3 - my maternal grandmother's side - 1 person 4 - my paternal Grandfather's side - 2 people 5 - Unknown - 1 person 6 - Unknown - 2 people My thought was to incrementally move the filter range to sort more matches, but if there's a reason not to I'd love to know why

So the 90-400 range exists because this is the typical range for 2nd cousin matches. Leeds is only designed for this range, BUT once you have your groups, you can use shared matching to infer which branch the under 90 matches are on. So go to your 60cm match's for example page and see who they share dna with in the 90-400 range. They'll be the same color

I have hit a brick wall. I have done Ancestry Dna . On there it shows which people have common ancestors with you. The only common ancestors I am coming up with are from my Grandpas brothers an sisters. Nothing from my great grandpa other than what I know already. Have common ancestors for my great grandma his wife and my other set of great grand parents. On the bible records I have found it does not say who his parents are. Beginning to think he was adopted. Can you help Me where to go from here

It is not possible for me to remove music from a KZbin video, but feel free to mute the video and utilize closed caption. It is well-timed with the video. Thanks for watching!

So at the 2:31 mark, do we only list 5 of the surnames for each one? Mine have several, but I only write down 4 or 5 generations giving me 8-10 surnames for each person. I'm trying to follow this video step by step as I'm doing my Leeds all over and I'm thinking this is a step that I normally do in my Leeds charts listing all the names.

Do you just keep a list of family surnames for each match in a spreadsheet? Or is there a easier way to extract this information out of the matches trees?
@opendoorgenetics55962 жыл бұрын
A spreadsheet works well. Focus on surnames in recent generations, rather than every surname in the tree

ok, what if your grandparent is an only child and his mother died when he was 10 and his mother did give him any info on her family? Only census record in 1910 show her listed as step-daughter in-law. She appears no where else.
