| Question: Jean Guyom 1592-1663 image genealogy? Posted: 31 Jul 2016 06:05 AM PDT He is said to be an ancestor to 3/4 of French Canadians so hoping to get an awnser to one of them who knows him a little more. I found several places that has this as an image. Is this really him? http://raisincajuns.com/the-darbonne-family-tree-a-brief-description/ |
| Question: Family tree question!? Posted: 31 Jul 2016 04:42 AM PDT Sometimes adults will adopt their nieces and nephews, in which case yes, you are related. It sounds, however, like you three were adopted by families that had no relation before the adoption, so they don't have any relation now. What you need to ask yourself is "Who is our common ancestor?" If there isn't one, you are not related. Biologically, for that matter, you are not related to your own family, and, biologically, it isn't incest to marry your adoptive parents' child, although it might be incest in the eyes of the law. They sometimes throw step-siblings and adopted siblings into the incest laws. |
| Question: Is Wills a short form of saying Williams? Posted: 30 Jul 2016 02:07 PM PDT Sort of, but the shortening happened in the middle ages. There are over a dozen surnames that mean "Son of William"; Williamson, Williams, Wilson, Willey, Will, Wills, William ... Given names have abbreviations; Jas for James, Thos for Thomas, Wm for William, and so on. Surnames don't get abbreviated. |
| Question: While investigating your family tree, what did you find that was completely unexpected? Posted: 30 Jul 2016 11:48 AM PDT I found several legends which I expected were untrue ware in fact true. One was that ggrandfather had a carriage factory and was asked to make bodies for Ford, but declined because his sons thought automobiles were a passing fad. One, that my surname came from Alsace, I thought I could never prove, but I found his arrival by ship with the spelling of the name as it was in France. Also, if you get a line to mid-17th century MA, NY, NJ, or Connecticut it is very likely that you can prove you are related to numerous presidents. |
| Question: What DNA test should I take to look at my ethnicity? Posted: 30 Jul 2016 09:25 AM PDT Ethnicity is your culture and doesn't necessarily have anything to do with your ancestry or your DNA. Now for the overall ancestral testing which they call "ethnicity testing" the best company to use is the one that has the population samples that best match your ancestry and there is no way we or even you can know that. Please let me explain. They use the Autosomal DNA along with the X. Autosomal is what most of your DNA is. 44 of your 46 chromosomes are Autosomes. With it the only thing companies can do is match you with population samples they have in their own database and each company had its own. So if you are tested by more than one company the results usually will differ as one might not have or be deficient in certain population groups another has and vice versa. It has also been reported if you go back to the same company sometime later, the testing might show different results as by that time they have obtained more population groups that can change the picture. You got Autosomal 50-50 from both parents but not necessarily 25% from each of our 4 grandparents. The reason why there usually will be a bias in 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 if you and a full sibling were tested by the same company at the same time, you will probably get different results. That is because of the differences in how you inherited the bias from your grandparents. http://www.dnainheritance.kahikatea.net/... The real way any genealogy DNA test can be helpful whether Y & Mitochondrial or Autosomal along with the X 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 in their database and they notify you of those cousins and you can contact them and if they are also into traditional genealogy research, you can collaborate information with them. They might have discovered ancestors in records you haven't and you might have discovered ancestors in records they haven't. |
