The ultimate tool that I am still waiting for is the ability to click on a segment and get a list of every match who shares it along with shared surnames and places. This would remove the entire need to hunt one by one for those matches and then hunt through those for common ancestry.

will there be more videos... it has bee 4 months, correct?

We sure do miss y'all and your content. Hope all is well. Looking forward to updated programming in the future. I've learned a lot! Take good care.

Dear Santa, as I have been very good this year, please would you grant me one wish? An Ancestry Chromosome browser. Andy wants one too!😇

I uploaded my raw data to LivingDNA and I love the segment filter in their chromosome browser 😃

My great great grandfather on my maternal side has zero documentation. The spouse, my great great grandmother has two daughters, one of whom is my great grandmother. They were inmates in the Irish work house system in the 19th century (poor houses for the extremely needy). She doesn’t seem to have married him and all subsequent documentation a census data lists her as single. Even the daughters never wrote his name in their documentation. So dna is my only source. Hopefully dna painting will be the tool to break the brick wall.

I am really enjoying these Family History Fanatics videos, but the most recent one that I see is 8 months ago. Are videos still being made?

Looking good! Nowifany matches were much bigger than 7....

Also, I'm not seeing a table view option.

I tested with MyHertiage earlier in 2024. I uploaded my raw data to Living DNA once I received the results. Would it be beneficial for me to test directly through Living DNA? As I’m not sure that my father’s ancestry is being represented in my Living DNA analysis of the MyHeritage DNA test.

Do you know of an sources that lists statistics for large segments. For example DNAPainter's "Shared cM Project" is based on total cM, not longest segment. Is there a similar tool that will give cousin relationship probabilities for large segments? Largest segment of 100cm 130cm 150cm? Does the particular chromosome matter in that situation?

Hello Sir, I have a very important question. Can people of either gender be more related to one parent then the other depending on the person? I see a lot of foolish people who think they are geneticists who think they know everything about this relying on old studies. Are you more related to your mother or father? On either gender, I seen results from other people where males are more related to their fathers and same goes to females, can you just confirm this because many think different about this topic. My main question is are people generally more related to their mother or father (including both male and female) or does it just depend on the person (male or female) Please respond quick, thanks.

Can I find out if my father is mine with only half cousins, half aunts and uncles and half brother? Please I can’t find the answer and everyone remarried a lot

Who are people more related to mom or dad? theres so much confusing stuff on the internet about this, can you answer for me?

Yippee! Now I can make at least some use of my Aunt’s matches who are Brits.

I recently received my DNA report, and while I find it fascinating, I'm also aware that there's a lot to understand about the results. I noticed that it shows my ethnicity as 33% Sweden & Denmark, 29% England and Northwestern Europe,12% Germanic Europe, 10% Ireland, 8% Scotland, 4% Eastern Europe & Russia, 3% Wales, 1% Baltics. The DNA report provided information about which parent I inherited specific ethnicities from, my British (England & Northwestern Europe, Ireland, Scotland, Wales) ethnicities were all attributed to my mother, which made sense and was consistent with the genealogical information we already knew. The Swedish & Danish, Eastern European & Russian, and Baltic ethnicities were all attributed to my father's side. Given that my father, his parents and paternal grandparents are all German, I'm particularly interested in understanding how recent my ancestors would have had to be in Sweden or Denmark to contribute to my Scandinavian DNA percentage. Additionally, could you provide insights into the historical and demographic factors that might explain these results?My father left Germany when he was 27 years old and he passed several years ago, we spoke very little about his family and life before. All I know is that my close German relatives are from Hamburg, Germany, in the northern part of the country, is it possible that there could be some overlap or genetic similarities with populations from neighbouring regions, that may have been mistakenly attributed to Sweden & Denmark? Also, because it is a third of my DNA, I'm curious about the timeframe for when my ancestors might have lived in Sweden or Denmark to contribute to this percentage. Are there any historical or demographic factors I should consider that could help explain this result? Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer.

Riddle me this…if my DNA says 15% Jewish , then is that a great grandmother/father?

still have NO IDEA what this does for my dna matching chromosome matching seems pretty useless to me
