| Question: If I go back 10 generations how many sets of 10X great-grandparents would I have? Posted: 13 Aug 2015 06:05 PM PDT Going back 10 generations would be your 8xgreat grandparents. You have to take into consideration your parent and grandparents as 2 generations. If they are all a different person, it would be 512 sets and 1024 individuals. Going back 12 generations to your 10xgreat grandparents, you would have 2048 set and 4096 individuals Now when you get back that far chances are there were duplicates. You will find cousin marriages in your family tree. When people lived in small towns and villages their chances of becoming acquainted with someone who wasn't a cousin wasn't very easy. The further back you go the number begins to pyramid big time and eventually would be larger than the population of the world at a given time. |

| Question: Ancestry.com Vs 23andMe ? Posted: 13 Aug 2015 12:59 AM PDT A lot depends on what type of DNA tests you are interested in as none will tell you who your specific ancestors are. The best way to use them is if you are into traditional genealogy research using documents/records and the company you use has cousins of yours going back several generations and they are allowed to notify you of those cousins and if those cousins are also involved in traditional genealogy research and you make contact with them, you can collaborate information with them. You might have discovered information they don't have and they might have discovered information you don't have. A lot of ifs! You have 46 chromosomes and there are 4 types of DNA. Y and X are the 2 sex chromosomes. Since I assume you are a male by your name you got Y from your father and X from your mother. Then the other 44 chromosomes are your Autosomes which you get 50-50 from both parents but not necessarily 25% from each of your 4 grandparents. The reason why when you parents passed on the Autosomal from their parents to you it went through "meiosis" where it was randomly jumbled and recombined. So while you got 50% from your mother's side and 50% from your father's, there usually will be a bias in what you inherited from grandmother and grandfather on both sides of the family. In other words, you could have inherited anywhere from 0 to 50% from any one grandparent. How you inherited any bias will not be how your siblings inherited it unless you have an identical twin. Autosomal is what determines your "looks" genetically as well as other things including health issues. Mitochondrial is not a chromosome but in the cytoplasm (connective tissue) outside your cells. Both males and females get Mitochondrial from their mother only. For years people have used Y & Mitochondrial testing and the results are view as pretty well accurate. With each they will assign a person to a Haplogroup and show them the origin of their ancestors in those 2 lines going pretty far back. However, understand you got each from only one person in each generation you go back. If you had both tested by the time you got back to your 32 great great great grandparents, 30 of them will not be included in the results. For the overall ancestral testing or what some call "ethnicity testing" they use Autosomal along with the X. However, if you and a full sibling were tested by the same company at the same time the results will probably not be the same. Example: You might have received more Scandinavian Autosomal from a Norwegian grandfather and your brother or sister might have received more Slavic Autosomal from a Czech grandmother. It has also been reported if you go to more than one company and have this type of testing the results will vary. There are no Haplogroups with Autosomal and the only thing companies can do is match you with population samples in their database and that can cause the differences. One might not have or be deficient in certain population samples another has and vice versa. So the best company to use is the one that has the population groups that best match your ancestry and there is really no way we can know that, nor really can you. Also the X is a little complicated for males. You got X from your mother but she got X from her father and her mother. Now whose X did you get, your maternal grandfather's or your maternal grandmother's? No definite pattern. The 3 most recommended companies are FamilyTreeDNA, 23andme, and Ancestry.Com. So I would suggest you read very carefully what they have and ask as many questions in advance you have. |
