My question was the last one you answered, about my Jewish ancestors. I just wanted to say thank you! After watching this I went and set the genetic matches search on MyHeritage to only show matches with Ashkenazi Jewish Ancestry, then I went through the top matches trees. I was able to see a few surnames that kept repeating, Grossman and Gottlieb. Then I went over to 23&me and ancestry and searched the surnames as well. I was able to find 5 100% Ashkenazi Jewish 4th Cousin's with the surname Grossman. This will really help my search!!

Yay! You answered my question! I was the question about the brick walls in my family tree. Let me clarify some things. My maternal great-grandmother (my mom’s, dad’s mom) was living on a reservation in southwest Louisiana (near the Lake Charles area). She claimed to be Native American but no one in my family can remember which tribe. We think she was culturally Native American and not genetically. We don’t know how she ended up living on the reservation, she probably had some enslaved ancestors. She looked to have more than half African ancestry (based on phenotype). My hints on Ancestry show her marriage and later census records but nothing before that. My mom’s DNA on AncestryDNA has no Native American DNA. It was a bit unclear on the links but I have about 85% African DNA and 15% European. My mom results show about 87% African and 13% European DNA. That great-grandmother may be a brick wall we can’t get past unless we find a living ancestor who has more answers lol. Thank you for all of the advice. I will try to match up my European cousins trees with my own and see where it takes me. I have aunts, uncles and cousins who have tested on both sides of my family, so that’s great, thank you. Also, I’ll look into those property and court records to try to get past those other brick walls. I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for your passion for genealogy and helping people with their genealogy journeys.

@adevans20 I agree it makes sense that your ancestor could be 100% Native American culturally but 0% genetically. Our lives, our options and our choices are as likely to be shaped by our culture as our DNA. Best wishes for a successful hunt! And perhaps check out Family Search which has growing African American branches.

We got DNA kits for Christmas. My results haven’t come back yet but my mum and sisters have. My dad was predominantly English/Irish. Mum half Chinese and Indian. She came in at 50% Chinese exactly central South Asia, northern India. Weirdly she is 29% Irish. No English blood which was shocking. She had 1% burusho, which was a lovely surprise. Now my dad was always just English/British so my sister can tell what came from what parent. I’ve not received mine yet but I’m fascinated.. my sister is 22% Chinese which is her biggest % in dna. What did surprise me was mums 14% central South Asia came in at 14% but nothing came on the report for my sister. Loving the videos, just discovered it xx

Might have to look at surname origin, history of migrations in different areas of Scotland etc. Everyone thought our Montgomery ancestors were Scottish but I couldn't find them, after I got an Irish result on ancestry I found they were from Northern Ireland. Some of my ancestors from Shetland are originally from the borders, which was discovered using surname research, genealogy and DNA testing.

If you are 100% Scottish there is probably a lot of Celt in you. Those were travelers, there is a History there. I get 18% Scottish and I have no clue where it comes from. I am kind of sure it comes from my dad's side, but even then I can go back several generations in some branches and find 0 relations to Scotland (although I'd love to find it). 18% is such a big number it seems odd not to find anything.

The redditor who posted about hitting a brick wall in their family in the 1880s seems to be predominately of African descent with some European and has mentioned relatives with fully European ancestry. Assuming the poster is an XX, maybe they could get their brother or father and a maternal uncle or grandfather to test if they're lucky to have such relatives and they're still alive. Unfortunately, statistically speaking, European DNA in someone who is black with deep roots in the US, its going to to show up on the Y DNA. Also, sharecropping in the 1880s, the first census where former enslaved peoples were counted... chances are they were sharecropping in the vicinity of where they were enslaved. I would look for white former slave owners with the same or similar surname in the area/ look at the family trees of those European-only distant cousins and look for surnames that match white land owners in... say, a 50 mile radius of where they were farming in the 1880s. Sadly, the odds are actually pretty high that they were sharecropping on the same land or land adjacent to where they had been enslaved. Most black Americans whose ancestry in the Americas dates back to 1800s really struggle to trace past 1880 unless they can find news articles, family journals, or are "lucky" (I use that term loosely) enough to share a surname with the former enslavers and then you might be able to use slave schedules and make educated guesses about whether an unnamed hash mark in a ledger refers to your ancestors. Its just a really sad, unfortunate truth of the American past. As for the claimed Native American history... that's a really common claim amongst black American families... usually the source of the the claims is to hide white ancestry and more white leaning features in a more palatable story. If it weren't, I think we'd expect to be seeing some French ancestry since much of the European heritage found in First Nations and Native American populations is thanks to French fur traders and of course, we'd expect to see Native American/First Nations DNA.

The question about the Native American ancestry was interesting to me. I think if they know which tribe in particular their female ancestor came from, they can look up how tribal status was determined at that time. Their ancestor might have been black, but living in the tribal community and would have been seen as a member of that group of Native Americans, even without having a blood line there.

Same with my French and Norwegian, my results were 0% French, but I know I did inherit some DNA from my French ancestors as I matched with their other descendants. I assume it's being read as either from the UK or the 4% Germanic Europe. I got 20% Norwegian, which is high, but I guess It includes DNA I would have inherited from my Shetland ancestors as well as great great grandad.

@sylviabargas3340 Жыл бұрын

With respect to determining what DNA came from each parent, Ancestry is now doing it for us, and WITHOUT our parents having tested. They're apparently able to do DNA Phasing just using our matches. So in addition to our own ethnicity breakdown, they now give us a breakdown of the half that came from "Parent 1" and the half that came from "Parent 2". It's up to us to figure out which of these is our mother and which is our father. That's easy to do as long as your parents are from different populations (eg, one is Polish and the other is Irish). But if your parents are BOTH Polish or BOTH Irish, you're out of luck.

Regarding Native American. I have a tiny trace of Native American that was picked up by 23&Me years ago. At that time, there was also an equal trace of African. Over the years, the African trace has disappeared from my admixture report; however, the Native American has persisted. It is exactly half what my father shows. We share one segment on the same chromosome, and he has an extra segment on another. This trace is also detected by tools at Gedmatch. No other company has detected it. I calculated that it would probably come from 500 years ago, so at the time of European settlement, which would be reasonable. I like to think about a long-ago Native American ancestor, and I think there is reason to think it's real.

I notice Finland popping up randomly in the My Herritage results for one of these sets of results. I have 7% Finland from them too, never shows up with other companies, and I have nothing in my facility tree that points to a connection. I wonder if they have a bias in their methods that assigns people to Finland, don't get me wrong a GG Grandfather from Finland would be exciting, but I just don't think it is likely, and the other companies agree.

My parents are both gone, I have recently found they were 10th cousins. I have found many matches that trace back to my parents ancestors. I have known one cousin for years who is a close cousin on my dad's side and a little more distant cousin on my mom's side, not from the same ancestor that my parents share. There are a number of DNA matches that don't have good trees to figure out how we are related. Many of them triangulate with other matches that I know the connection.

@phillipmoore9012 2 жыл бұрын

On Ancestry you can't examine the DNA, but you can do shared matches clustering. I named color-coded clusters first by each grandparent's parents using shared matches starting with known and DNA-confirmed 2nd-cousins. On one line I used a half 1st-cousin. Then I named eight color-coded clusters for great-grandparent's parents using shared matches with known and DNA-confirmed 3rd-cousins. The process continues, as a DNA match is confidently connected through genealogy, their shared matches are added to the cluster. It's not 100% as a shared match may match a cousin a different way than you do, but I have about 30-thousand matches clustered. Of course, you need to have the known 2nd- and 3rd-cousins already on your genealogy just to get started.
