    I'm PR and did my DNA, it was very informative so much so that I bought my father a kit. It has been 2 years and he does not seem to be interested in doing it. My mother said what for? You know you are Puerto Rican. The conclusion is they are not cooperative and I'm not sure if is fear of something showing up that they don't want to share. Old people can be frustrating.

  • @erichamilton3373
    @erichamilton3373 2 года назад +11

    Another thing that can skew your impression of results is the nationality of the people in the database of matches. One side of your family can completely dominate a database--so 9 out of 10 could be from one side which will completely affect your impression. English-speaking people tend to be very over-represented vs other nationalities at 23 and me. If one parent was American and one was from Germany for example (my case) you might get virtually no matches from Germany.

    Austrians are actually genetically East European. Here are the closest genetic matches to Austrians from the My True Ancestry website; Hungarian, Czech, East German, Croatian, Serbian, Slovenian, Moldovan, and Bosnian. The Eastern half of Austria is covered by the Pannonia region, which is part of Europe East, on the Living DNA website.
    Austria_Tirol is northwest European. West Austrians cluster with Southern Germans.
    There is quite a genetic distance between someone from Vienna, and someone from Innsbruck.

    Around 21:55 you suggest possible ancestors to look at, in regards to the source of that particular region on you grandfather's X chromosome. However, that part of the X chromosome of your grandfather could have come from very many generations back. The source of the "French and German" region of your grandfather's X could be from so deep in time that there are just no records to trace that far back, especially if there were several father->daughter transmissions along the path to your grandfather.

    Just before xmas I found a "gateway?" ancestor on my Dad's line 7xg grandmother
    So I've drawn a pedigree(a present for my sister) that goes back to William I, the conqueror(aka the bastard) and the kings of Welsh/Manx lineage back to Hen Coel (Old King Cole)!
    But although I've checked these links, the relationships genealogicaly; via DNA there seems a very scant few cmorgans connection to other people on this part if the tree.

    Whilst Xdna is invaluable for reducing/eliminating many possible ancestral lines IMO there appears to be almost nothing to be gained from the size (cM) of an X-match.

    • @GeneaVlogger
      @GeneaVlogger  2 года назад +8

      There is a higher threshold for confidence with XDNA - instead of a standard 7cM min like autosomal DNA it is usually a 15cM min. I have been hopeful a study would be conducted to find correlations of amounts of X-DNA to certain relationships, but my understanding is Blaine Bettinger tried this when doing the Shared cM Project but was unable to find any sort of pattern (I've only seen him mention this in a few comments and have not seen the numbers myself).

    • @kroo07
      @kroo07 2 года назад

      @@GeneaVlogger About 5 years ago I started an informal look at X inheritance based on comparing X-matches between siblings. Health issues for my wife and then myself curbed my enthusiasm somewhat so the data is limited. I gathered data by inviting GEDmatch members to nominate sibling kit numbers and gradually built up to around 80 full siblings, a number unlikely to provide statistically significant results. The reason I question a single useful cM value is largely because it will be gender sequence dependant. F-F siblings will have a 100% match (197cM or so) whereas M-M and M-F will have a 50% (possibly more like 60% for M-F matches due to parental heterozygosity with F having X from bothe parents) nominal match but with a typical largest segment range of 30cM to 140cM. If you extend such cM values to a further generation or three with similar variation I am not convinced of usefullness - sadly. Love your vlogs.

  • @erichamilton3373

    Because it can be so hard to distinguish between NW and Central European ancestry, they should refrain from pinpointing ancestry to specific countries, but they're under market pressure to do it. They make a lot of mistakes identifying German as British etc... If I didn't know a lot about my family, I would have been totally misinformed by 23 and me: a German-born mother with no connection to Britain at least 4 generations back identified as British/Irish.and 0% German.

    • @MagnaMater2
      @MagnaMater2 2 года назад

      Recently I discussed the british/south-german connection with a british 'far relative' of mine. We worked out several reasons why we might have a vastly common gene-pool. 1) Central&east european pre/celts, 2) Elbsaxons&Thuringians, 3) Batavians, 4) the army of the Duke of Somerset in the 30year-war, 5) protestant Miner-&Weaver-migrations from Germany to England in newer history. All those don't need any recent WW1 or 19th-century-tourist paternity-event, if the same group of people perchance accumulate in the same way in two people.

    Mulatto was the "correct" word to use when one parent was (originally) from Europe and the other parent was (mostly) from Africa. As I was taught:
    Most people of Europe are what is called "Caucasian" (something I have never understood.) I do not think of me being anything but European (I am north-European) a Nordic person. Also known as "white" I do not think of "the Mainland" as Eurasia... I think of that big landmass in a lot of smaller segments... Britain, West-Europe, North-west Europe, North-east Europe (Sovet union) Asia, North Asia, Middle Asia, West Asia (mayby?), East Asia and Indland...
    People from Africa are "Negro" or "Black"
    People from East Asia are Mongolans or "yellow"
    And at last the native Americans are Indians or "Red"
    Never did understand that sort of segmenting the humans...
    And it actually keeps going on.... Only the "names" for most "races" i.e. racial category have "changed"... It is said that using those words i.e. "names" for the races is "RACIST"
    I was taught that our species included 5 races or "subspecies" as it was a scientific fact of live.
    But the true fact is that our species are survivors of a catastrobal event that happened possible after all other "sub-races" died out (or what?) those sub-races have been called (by now living scientists... Neanderthals, Densovans, Naledi... and more?
    DNA has told us (who are willing to trust the science) that humanity is a species withour any sub-species or races - there is only one single species we call Homo Sapiens.

    Ancestrydna and origins is way off for me. I even went to GED match to check out their primitives...and it only proved it. The closest ended up being ftdna, as they must be using actual individual data. Another hard lesson learned is Y dna testing HAS TO have a close paternal relative with you.. or they will send you off like an orphan skipping 1400 years to a foreign land (nightmare). Other points, endogamy may even be a guide to an origin. Another thing is all sites have mixed up my native american by A. ignoring it. B. calling it jewish. C. dropping percentages to 5 times less than what it actually is. GED match is great for native american. And one last note for my really difficult trail in dna testing in 4 places.. my biggest X matches are to a very rare native american women. I was then guided to spend even more, and am waiting for my Mt DNA results now. Keep trying, stay cool... it would be easier to accept an NPE than go over my dna facts LOL..

    @julilla1 2 года назад +3

    OK, this is very interesting! So the X chromosome on 23 and me refers to a grandfather's line? Which grandfather, paternal or maternal? I've only got the mtDNA for myself, but I have some interesting things down in that X but I've not been able to find an explanation of where that X data comes from.

    • @GeneaVlogger
      @GeneaVlogger  2 года назад +3

      No, the x-chromosome does not refer specifically to a grandparent's line. The person whose question I answered was posting their grandfather's results, not their own, that is why we know it is the grandfather's mother. But anything you receive from your x-chromosome will have to be through only x-chromosome inherited lines. For females that means you can rule out your paternal grandfather's line, but for males it means they can rule out their entire paternal ancestry. It really just comes down to the fact that men receive no x-chromosome from their father, so it limits the lines where the x-chromosome dna may be coming from.

      @@GeneaVlogger Ok, I have a question: 23andme did a study called The Consequences of The Trans Atlantic Slave Trade which studied how The TAST shaped the genomes of descendants of The New World Africans into the Americas.
      They talked about a gender bias wrt to admixture of Black Americans, which is why a great amount of Black American men have non African origined paternal haplogroups while most Black Americans have African origined maternal haplogroups.
      So I have about 97% Nigerian genomes on my 23rd X chromosome(I'm a man so I obviously have one X chromosome), how would you interpret that?

      "what Haplogroup is Adam" - which "Adam"? If you mean in one of the creation myths in Genesis, that character is a literary character, not a real person. If you mean the misnomered Y-chromosome "Adam" , i.e., the last common Y-ancestor of all extant human Y chromosomes, then such person is the root of the human Y-clade, and his descendants are enumerated as you can find in theY-tree managed by ISOGG, for example.
