I would use FTDNA or 23andme. You get to see the actual chromosome map with 
either of those.

I have confirmed several lines are connected and found several brick walls are 
NO connection at all.

This is using the Y DNA test from https://www.familytreedna.com/

Yes. I was able to confirm a line that had circumstantial evidence but I felt 
needed one more hard fact. However, unless you are willing to share your tree 
on Ancestry, you will not get full benefits. I pull out a barebones GedCom from 
Legacy and uploaded it to Ancestry and link it to my test. And I periodically 
update the Ancestry upload as I add more information into Legacy. I strongly 
advise keeping Legacy as the file you make changes to.



And my husband was able to connect with a lost side of his family.

Very worthwhile.  I recommend Family Tree DNA.  It's the same price as
Ancestry and they will probably have a sale on DNA Day - which I believe

Go for the FamilyTree DNA testing: https://www.familytreedna.com/
Very effective.
They let you 'add in' your DNA test from Ancestry - so you get both sides
of the testing - so do both.

Very impressed with the practical results for genealogy research - we
confirmed an entirely new wing of the family - that linked from the
pre-records period - this would never have happened without this testing.

Even though there are few people with our surname - we were able to sort
out the surname into 5 completely different families. Only DNA has let us
accomplish this.

It's essential - do it.

Re: [LegacyUG] DNA testing

2015-03-16 Thread Wendy Howard 
Judy Russell, aka "The Legal Genealogist"
(http://www.legalgenealogist.com/), writes about DNA each Sunday (her
time, Monday for me). You may like to take a look at some of her
columns, they're well-written and easy to understand.

Late last year she ran a "best of" series, including this one on her DNA
posts through the year -
http://www.legalgenealogist.com/blog/2014/12/29/2014-top-posts-dna/

 From what I've read of this blog, you need to consider what you are
trying to determine from the testing, and who you're going to test,
before deciding which tests might be the best one for you.

Hope this helps.  :-)

Kind Regards,
Wendy

I'm going to buck the trend because as far as I'm concerned, DNA
testing is a waste of time and money.  To me, it's just a gimmick and
the latest craze.  It's not going to "prove" anything I don't already
know and I'd be very sceptical about any alleged results.  I'd rather
spend the money of a test on a sub to The Genealogist.

If DNA test results were the only "proof" of a supposed connection to
a family I've never heard of before and to whom I can find no other
connection, I would definitely NOT accept it as evidence of a family
link.

DNA is not infallible evidence.

Re: [LegacyUG] DNA testing

2015-03-17 Thread BARTON LEWIS 
I strongly disagree with this statement by Charani.  DNA is not a "fad"
or "craze."  It is science, and while traditional genealogical research
is needed to back up its findings, it can prove relationships where the
other sometimes cannot.  Let me give an example:  In November I found
out that my great-grandmother's father died three years - not three
months as we had always been told - before she was born.  So clearly, he
was not her father!  Because I was able to map my mother's
chromosomes so as to identify the segments she had received from her
grandmother through her grandmother's mother, I was able ot identify
those segments which had come from the unknown great-grandfather.  A
network of close matches on those segments proved the identity of my
great-grandmother's father.  This could never have been achieved using
traditional methods.  Although there was a longstanding relationship
between the families of my great-grandmother's parents, and although the
father was recently widowed (like my great-grandmother's mother) at the
time of her conception and living in the next county, none of this
information would have been known to us unless the DNA had led us to
him.  This is just one of several examples in which DNA has helped me
break down brick walls and confirm relationships.

Re: [LegacyUG] DNA testing

2015-03-17 Thread brittongen 
Charani,

DNA certainly can be "infallible evidence". You've forgotten that it can be 
exclusionary. In my case, I spent 5 years or more studying the Brittons of 
Bitton to find a link to my brick wall in the adjacent parish of Kelston. One 
glance at the first 16 STR markers that I received, and I junked all that work. 
They were R1b and I was R1a, so we parted company many thousands of years ago.

I was already back to about 1500 in Somerset, so further conventional progress 
would have to be via heraldry and old documents. That's a bit of a lottery, 
probabilities and not infallible, so not too different from inclusionary DNA 
for the "Genealogical Time" domain. DNA did offer, though, a potential means to 
rigorously test more conventional findings. The Brittons of the Bristol area 
seem likely to be Bretons, displaced to Brittany in the Dark Ages and returning 
at 1066. My DNA arrival has been assigned to the same event, but as 
mercenaries, not real helpful and fairly expensive in testing. Another test, 
reported just a couple of weeks back, trippled the cost, but found a cousin and 
illuminated deeper history. It now seems likely that our joint ancestor arrived 
with the Romans, presumably as an auxiliary. I emailed my new cousin; he, of 
course, did not reply. You don't always get much for money spent on DNA 
testing...


Adam,

My reply to Charani gives a sense of the scope and utility of DNA to genealogy, 
so is relevant to possible Legacy support of such data. Specific DNA testing 
questions are better on a DNA list or forum. If you email me off list with 
whatever you know of your haplogroup and earliest ancestor, I'll try to help. 
Advice in this area is usually worthless or worse without knowing a lot about 
your situation and aims.

I haven't forgotten anything and DNA is fallible.

I certainly wouldn't junk 50 (fifty) years research just because
someone with a financial interest in trying to "prove" my research was
wrong so they could sell me more tests that also wouldn't "prove"
anything.

I know where my family came from, I don't need to waste £100+ for a
third party to tell me.

I have a line that goes back to about 1590 in Somerset.  I also have a
line that goes back to around 1360 in the Chiltern area.  That is an
interesting line because it was always believed to connect to a family
in Sussex which connections to royalty.  Did it? Nooo.  They were a
Cornish family with no firm evidence of a connection to the Sussex one
at all.  There was no DNA involved in that, just good and careful
research.

> You don't always get much for money spent on DNA testing...

More a case of not getting anything for money wasted on DNA testing in
my book.

Where DNA can sometimes be useful is where there's a 100 or 150 year
old murder and physical evidence is still extant, something of an
achievement in itself.  The murder is believed to be X but the
physical evidence, when the DNA is analysed, says it doesn't match. X
is therefore innocent and the offender is Y against whom no action can
be taken because s/he has long since passed from this mortal coil.

My husband and I have three daughters.  The eldest is very like me.
The younger two are carbon copies of each other.  Not too surprising
except they aren't full blood siblings.  The eldest two are step
sisters to the youngest and there is absolutely NO connection between
the two families.  I don't need DNA to tell me there isn't.  I already
know there isn't.

RE: [LegacyUG] DNA testing

2015-03-17 Thread alan 
I am sorry to hear some people have complained as I thought this was a very interesting topic and much better than some of the other debates.  Sometimes you have to get off topic to understand the topic at hand.  The off topic discussion made me think about the possibilities of Legacy and DNA.It actually sparked several Legacy questions.My next questions on the topic where what tests were supported in Legacy and what tests where not (I seem to remember Legacy did not support several tests people wanted)?Then the next Legacy question was does Legacy help you interpret the tests?  So you get DNA for several people, put it into Legacy for easy comparison, and help with some sort of "relationship level/likelihood".I have never done DNA, but wonder how it would play out with Legacy.To make this even more on topic I have been very reluctant to upgrade to Legacy version 8 as opposed to staying with 7.5.  I did not see some of the new stuff really that special.  The DNA answers about Legacy might make me more interested in upgrading.

Re: [LegacyUG] DNA Testing

2014-08-11 Thread Jessica Morgan 
I have had two Ancestry DNA kits done on direct family. I'm still sketchy
on the results, and not utilizing them 100% at all. It doesn't come with a
whole plethora of laymen instructional terms. I don't know half of what the
site refers to. It takes research and time that I don't quite have right
now.

As for ease of use, Ancestry was very simple, got results timely, etc.

That being said, I also downloaded the DNA files from Ancestry and uploaded
them to Gedmatch. I have hundreds of hits on gedmatch, and as it referenced
both matches exactly as they are (grandfather and granddaughter) as far as
generational match, I'd say it is pretty accurate. Again, I have a hard
time reading the data, but the gedmatch info gives you email addresses to
other members you match and you can then correspond with them.

I have a cousin that did the 23andme.com DNA testing. It seems to have more
information medical wise and such. Again, I can't understand it all!

There is a Yahoo group that's specifically for discussing DNA testing.

Check out  https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/DNA-NEWBIE/info

The LUG list is for discussing Legacy and really the only appropriate DNA

I think it is a shame someone felt it necessary to complain about this

don't descend into name-calling and generally being rude.  I believe a good

The Legacy rules are clear that this list is for discussion of Legacy
and the Add-On topics.

The list can be very busy at times and the person who complained had
not interest in the topic and was getting frustrated with having to
delete all the emails the thread generated.

There are plenty of lists for discussing DNA in general.

Had the discussion been about recording DNA tests in Legacy, that
would have been appropriate.
