RE: [LegacyUG] DNA testing
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.

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

Re: [LegacyUG] DNA testing - Topic stopped
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.

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.

Re: [LegacyUG] DNA testing
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. kb - Original Message - From: Charani phoenixantis...@gmail.com On 16/03/2015 14:19, adam allan wrote: Was wondering if this testing using DNA is a valuable tool.

Re: [LegacyUG] DNA testing
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
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.

RE: [LegacyUG] DNA testing
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 is April 14.

Re: [LegacyUG] DNA testing
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 adam allan wrote on 17/03/2015 03:19: Was wondering if this testing using DNA is a valuable tool.

[LegacyUG] DNA Testing
Ancestry.com is running a DNA special for $79. It is supposed to run both male and female lines. Has anyone used this and is it the best company to use? Not sure how much help it might be. They claim that it doesn't follow lines as far as others, but gives more relevant results. I have 3 trees on Ancestry and connecting with others that may be a match appeals to me.

Re: [LegacyUG] DNA Testing
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!

Re: [LegacyUG] DNA Testing
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 discussion would be how to enter your results in Legacy.
