| Question: Has anyone used ancestry Dna? If so how informative was it? Posted: 01 Nov 2015 01:37 PM PST I haven't used their particular test but a lot depends on what you want to achieve. You have 46 chromosomes and there are 4 types of DNA. Y and X are the sex chromosomes. A male get Y from his father and X from his mother. Females normally get X from both parents. Some do get a Y but if you have or had ovaries and a menstrual period you are not one of them. Your other 44 chromosomes are your Autosomes. A person gets Autosomal 50-50 from both parents but not necessarily 25% from each of their 4 grandparents. The reason why when your parents passed on the Autosomal they received 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. The gap usually isn't that big but can be. How you inherited any bias will not be how your siblings inherited it unless you have an identical twin. Mitochondrial is not a chromosome but in the connective tissues outside our cells. Both males and females get Mitochondrial from their mother. For years people have used Y & Mitochondrial testing in genealogy and those 2 types of testing are respected as being pretty exact. With each they will assign a person to a Haplogroup and show that person the origin or his/her ancestors going pretty far back. The only thing about it a male gets each from only one person in each generation he goes back. A female normally get Mitochondrial from only one person in each generation she goes back. Your ancestry doubles each generation and get back to your 32 great great great grandparents and 31 of them will be excluded from the result. Autosomal along with the X is used for the overall ancestral testing. There are no Haplogroups with Autosomal and the only thing companies can do is match you with population samples in their database. If you and a full sibling were tested by the same company at the same time very likely the results will not be exact. 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. Also it has been reported if you go to more than one company and have this type of testing the results will vary. That is because one might not have or be deficient in certain population samples another has and vice versa. So which is the best company to use? The one that has the population samples that best match your ancestry and there is no way we or even you can know that. You might say the best company can be different for different people. For males the X is a little complicated. A male gets X from his mother but she got X from her father and her mother. So whose X did any one male inherit, his maternal grandmother's or his maternal grandfather's? No definite pattern and it can differ between brothers who share the same mother. The real use for any genealogy DNA test is if you are into traditional genealogy research using documents/records and if the company you choose has cousins of yours going back several generations and they are allowed to notify you of those cousins and you make contact with them and they are also into traditional genealogy research, you can collaborate information with them. They might have discovered things you haven't and you might have discovered things they haven't. |

| Question: Is there anyone still alive born in the 1800's? Posted: 01 Nov 2015 03:10 AM PST According to this article, there are a handful of people from the 1800's still known to be alive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldest_peo... The oldest person ever to have lived that we know of is a certain Jeanne Calment, who reached 122. Assuming that 125 is the upper limit, it's unlikely we will have anyone from the 1800's still with us for much longer, unfortunately. |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2015 07:55 PM PDT The "Boot Heel" area is the extreme south-east portion of Missouri that looks like a boot heel. It comprises Dunklin, Pemiscot, and New Madrid counties. I could not find anyone matching your description in any of those counties in a quick look in Ancestry.com and familysearch. I used a birth year range of 1915 - 1935. Either 1) They passed through the boot heel once, but were not from there. 2) They were born earlier or later than you thought. 3) They spelled their names differently than you thought, or used entirely different one. (I didn't try "Bobby", but I used "Nell*", which would return Nell, Nelly and Nellie.) 4) My skills are declining with age. |
