Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Finder results in (through part of batch 527)

Eddie M,

For Family Finder:
If you have access to your parents (or even your grandparents) test the
older generation first.  If your parents (or grands) are not alive but
their siblings are alive, test them.

If it's just you and dad, test your dad and yourself.  Then you can filter
your matches between you and your dad and find your mom's half.

Eddie, as Cheri always says, it’s probably better to have your Dad do the FF 
because he is 100% even though his Mom is from Madeira. You could also have 
Dad’s Ydna done too.

I only have one new FF match in the Azores group from this batch. But my

this batch. Her results came out in July. She is half Azorean, I'm only a

  They are behind on mtDNA.

  Some people are having a hard time with Y-DNA (finding the right region

  If they are having problems with your DNA and the expected date has

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Finder results in (through part of batch 527)

2013-08-31 Thread Diane George
Two male relatives on two different sides of my ancestors have similar Y-DNA
results-all Northern European. One has no matches for the YDNA-37 markers,
only 12 and 25. The second has four 37 marker matches, all at 4 steps.
Neither has matches with people with Portuguese surnames listed. Both are
haplogroup R-M269. We have brick walls on both sides and hoped that we might
break through, but nothing so far.

 

A third male relative has several fairly close matches at the YDNA-37 level,
including a 0 level match, and his matches are all Portuguese or Spanish in
origin. The haplogroup is J-M172 indicating North African, Middle Eastern
and Southern European origins. We have identified the matching ancestor, but
it appears that the births of the common ancestors were illegitimate which
has greatly complicated the search. My cousin has been working diligently on
doing the research, but so far lots of probabilities, no conclusions. At
least we have advanced some in the quest.

 

With my own FamilyFinder results, I have lots of matches. So far, except for
my first cousin and one fairly distant cousin from Terceira, I have not been
able to identify common ancestors. The match from Terceira confirms the
information we have on that line as to its origins in Terceira as discovered
on the NEPS database. 

 

I have had problems today with Y-DNA matches and the FTDNA site not
responding.

Family Finder (FF) results are in up through part of batch 527.

They are behind on mtDNA.

Some people are having a hard time with Y-DNA (finding the right region on
that Y chromosome).

If they are having problems with your DNA and the expected date has
expired, there will be a note on your page.

Right now, I can't get the FTDNA pages to load consistently.  Everybody is
probably checking their DNA.
