my mother and my two uncles were abandoned in a hotel in 1953 and my mom spent years trying to learn where they came from...she would have loved to be able to look up anything from her past.she died 20 years ago and i am now hoping to answer those questions for her..i hope i learn some things

Good luck. I have a video series that talks about researching when you're adopted. Even if you have a few details about your mom and uncle's relatives, this series would be beneficial. kzfaq.info/sun/PLcVx-GSCjcdk1GsAs9NfLWKvACcjE3Afg

Great overview! I think it’s important to note ethnicity estimates change as they get more DNA tests in the database and can vary between companies (Ancestry, FamilyTreeDNA, etc.) Thanks for a great video!

Thanks for adding this. It's correct.

In my experience the estimated ethnicity seems to be what the majority of people who take the test are interested in but it’s probably the least useful for research. Shared matches have been much more useful and I’ve recently been paying more attention to thrulines as well.

Amen to that, Robert! I rarely glance at the ethnicity stuff.

💯 Too many people put too much into the estimates. Mine verified the information I already had.. Lol

Yep. The primary reason people have taken a test is for ethnicity results. I blame the flashy marketing campaigns. Sadly, the companies weren't able to convert the curious into tree builders to build the cousin match tools. Very sad. But that's what I attempt to do. Devon attempts to help people build their trees using paper trail research. We can only help so much.

Thank you Andy for the reminder that ThruLines is tree- generated! I have a fairly strong example of where this can lead: TL suggests that a person "G" might be my 6C, since one of my remote female relatives married someone of that name - blind eye turned to the 455cM I happen to share with the match in question. Another cousin informed me that a female 1C (whom we share) had married a G - making the 455cM match, my 1C1R - much more reasonable ! Ancestry does say these are suggestions - & this example reminds me to look for supporting evidence! Thanks again!

My DNA is now on the extraction point. 3 weeks till my results or earlier.

Yes they are only estimates back to 8 generations ago.

In the case of female twins. If twin A has no dna on file, but twin B does with husband and oldest daughter. Why would ancestry have twin B's husband set as 100% the father?

@anniemcfarlane5052 5 ай бұрын

In my Ancestry communities the areas highlighted do NOT show where my ancestors CAME FROM, but where they WENT. A lot went from Scotland to USA so all that community information is not helpful in finding ancestry origins at all. This surely shows that they are taking data from matches with other people, not analysing DNA for its origin.

@trolleyline9 Жыл бұрын

Ancestry only finds my US/CAN relatives. I have to use myheritage for European. I am starting to document triang. segments in my notes now with with segment I find them on - pair up with DNA Painter (clusters).

@FamilyHistoryFanatics Жыл бұрын

That's a great approach. Not everyone has tested with the same DNA companies to be sure.

Great video Andy! I spend a lot of time in the DNA section of Ancestry with all my family's kits (mine, brother's, mother's, sister in law's and step father's) and one of my favorite things is to watch how the places and percentages change/sharpen over time as they get more information. (My sister in law is the only one I've ever seen to have Scottish and English but 0% Irish! Nada! Zilch! O.o lol) Do I have this right -- when we click/tap on the region and see all those dots on the map in the color of our genetic community, are those all people who match us? and are in that genetic community too? Bigger/darker the circle/color the more people in that area of the world?

Yes, that is correct.

If you have already covered this and I missed it on another video please forgive me. I had my mom and dad tested, DNA on ancestry and wasn’t too surprised with the results. What would be the point of me getting tested? If we all have the same ancestors, I don’t see the point. Am I wrong in this?

@FamilyHistoryFanatics 2 жыл бұрын

Actually, you don't necessarily need to test since you have your parent's DNA. Instead, work on getting DNA from your parent's siblings.

My daughter had one done and I decided to have 1 done. Just got results today and we are not matched at all.

If you don't share centimorgans with her high enough to be declared a parent, then that would mean she's not your biological daughter. I really hope that's not the case.

Thank you from an adoptee. Do you take commissions ?. And if so what is the fee. Please feel free to PM me. Thank you.

How long dose it take to get the results

@FamilyHistoryFanatics 2 жыл бұрын

It depends. It depends on when you take the test during the year. The closer to December/January, the longer the wait is. But typically, 6-8 weeks depending on where you're shipping your test from.
