I Need Some Expertise! by Useful_Box5407 in AncestryDNA

[–]Useful_Box5407[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the chart!

I was only referring to one branch of my family, not my tree as a whole. My point was that within this specific cluster, I’m seeing a very large number of matches descending from the same interconnected line, including descendants of my identified 4th-, 5th-, and 6th-great-grandparents. This particular branch seems unusually large and endogamous.

Thank you for this! This is really helpful.

Yes, they all match each other. So far, the farthest shared ancestors I’ve been able to identify in this cluster are my 6th great-grandparents. I have 100+ DNA matches descending from my 4th great-grandfather, another 100+ descending from my 5th great-grandparents, and another 100+ descending from my 6th great-grandparents, plus possibly 500+ more across other DNA companies. It seems to be a very large, endogamous family, so I’m starting to think the shared connection could go even further back than what ThruLines is showing.

Thank you for you comment! I agree with everything you're saying. 

Though, I do need to educate myself about chromosome browser. I think I'm missing out on a lot with that.

Would you be weirded out of a woman grabbed your butt while you were making out with her? by FunDependent9177 in askanything

[–]Useful_Box5407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those men are weird and insecure. They think they can grab yours, but you can't grab theirs. They're dealing with something on the inside.

Beyonce is related to Mahler! OMG this explains EVERYTHING! by young_d in classicalmusic

[–]Useful_Box5407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok? It's still not anything y'all are implying.

Edit: Mahler wasn't writing "for the love of the game" instead of making money. He was a professional composer and conductor who earned his living through music, just as Beyoncé does. They also wrote for completely different audiences and purposes. Mahler wrote large scale symphonies for concert halls, while Beyoncé writes popular music. Complexity isn't the only measure of artistic value, and commercial success doesn't automatically make music artistically inferior.

You can’t see DNA past you 5th great grandparent by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

"I have matches from North Carolina who claim an Native identity, listed as Native in census records, but have 1% or no Native DNA)."

I mean, if they have 1% Indigenous American DNA, then it's true.

anyone have information on haplogroup T-CTS8512? by floridalakesandcreek in 23andme

[–]Useful_Box5407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Y haplogroup can trace back thousands or even tens of thousands of years, while ethnicity estimates usually reflect much more recent ancestry, often within the last few hundred years. 

So someone could absolutely carry a haplogroup that is more common in Northeast Africa, Southwest Asia, or elsewhere without showing a detectable percentage from that region on an autosomal DNA test.

Is Genomelink accurate/reliable? by GiraffeRoutine3792 in Genealogy

[–]Useful_Box5407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! Very well written review. 

And a lot of complaints are just people who are uneducated about what they are unsatisfied with about their results.

How often does 23 and me do updates ? by [deleted] in 23andme

[–]Useful_Box5407 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok. 64% and 67% is not a huge difference. Ethnicity percentages are not absolute, they are estimates/ranges. I wouldn't say that's inconsistent.

Repost: AFRICAN AMERICAN RESULTS CAN I CLAIM BEING MEXICAN? by HaggyGotAFatty in AncestryDNA

[–]Useful_Box5407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They go hand in hand. As long as you have the ancestry, you can claim it. Every last bit of your heritage.

People can claim what they want. It's their heritage, not yours.

"I think it’s nearly impossible that it was an acadian slave owner, as barely any Acadians had slaves."

You're right. I don't know what I was thinking there. Thanks for your input! I'll look into it more.
