| Question: Can I get a little help with my family lineage? Posted: 22 Jul 2016 09:37 AM PDT Start with yourself and work back one generation at a time, documenting everything as you do. Start with your own birth certificate that has the names of both of your parents including mother's maiden name. Also death certificates usually have the names of both parents of the deceased including mother's maiden name. Now when you get so far back births and death weren't recorded. Then there are church records, census records, maybe wills, deeds, old family bibles. You don't work down from a person. Also being kin to someone doesn't mean you are descended from one of his siblings. It could be you are descended from one of his great uncles. If that great uncle was on Clyde's maternal side his name wouldn't even be Barrow. |
| Posted: 22 Jul 2016 08:26 AM PDT Ancestry tests are not accurate. 1/2 of a person's ancestor's DNA is lost in each generation. So it is entirely possible that some of a person's ancestors are not represented in a person's DNA at all. Native American ancestry is the commonest legend (lie) in European American families, so it is not so surprising to find similar legends in African American families. Some African American families with family histories in Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas do have Native American ancestors -- and this is supported by documents as well as DNA -- and the same is true of some of the Louisiana "Redbones." African American families from the Atlantic states also have legends of Native American ancestry, and these are less likely to be true. |

Actually as I have said before if anyone was actually white they would look like Casper the Ghost and underneath that sheet he might be a KuKluxKlansmen or a Black Panther. They use the Autosomal DNA along with the X for the overall testing and if you and a full sibling took the test at the same time your results probably would not be the same. You got Autosomal 50-50 from both parents but not normally 25% from each of your 4 grandparents as usually there is some bias between what you inherited from grandmother and grandfather on both sides of the family and how you inherited the bias will not be how your siblings inherited it unless you have an identical twin. So you can see how the results will be different for siblings. http://www.dnainheritance.kahikatea.net/... Also since you are a male your X can be different with your brothers. You got X from your mother but she got X from her father and her mother. Whose X did you get, your maternal grandmother's or your maternal grandfather's? It can differ among brothers who share the same mother. If you have this test done by a different company the results probably will not be the same. The only thing companies can do is match you with population groups in their database and if one doesn't have or is deficient in certain population groups another has and vice versa, naturally the results will differ. Also if has been reported if you go back to the same company you used, sometime later, there very likely will be a change as by that time they have received more population samples that can change the picture. When you answer question on forms the people asking don't care about your DNA. Actually you don't really have to answer such questions. Just put down as you feel and don't ask others. |
| Posted: 22 Jul 2016 08:01 AM PDT In America, there is no such thing as a "little black." It has always operated on the "one drop rule." Well at least until you can pass and just tell people you have "some Cherokee" in your past or that you're Italian. The reality is, ninety percent of black people in America have European Ancestors, usually a product of slave rape. In the same way, ten percent of white people have African ancestry. |
