Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] X-match

I'd need to log into your DNA page to see exactly what you are talking about. In general, X match follows are particular inheritance pattern. I'll start with a male. The 23rd chromosome is the sex chromosome. He got XY - Y from dad (that makes him a man) and an X from mom. Mom is XX. She gave

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] x-match

Yeah, FTDNA knows that they are real good with delivering high quality DNA results, but are lame at the interpretation. They are working on their Learning Center, but I just use Google to find what I want. Their Learning Center still says Beta, so they are working on it. Cheri Mello Listowner,

Hi Cheri, I don't know how you found this blog, but this is exactly what I was looking for. I wish ftDNA would make this available by clicking on the x-match column. If we did not have your expertise ftDNA would be very frustrating to use. Thanks again for your help, Tish On Mon, Aug 1, 2016 at

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] x-match

Thank you for the lesson. It is easier for me because I have two pretty diverse genetic pools... right? On Mon, Aug 1, 2016 at 10:27 AM, Cheri Mello wrote: > Tish, > > It depends. > > Generally, the genetic genealogists suggest that the X match be AT LEAST > 10 cMs on the X

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] x-match

I wasn't clear, as I've got a couple of questions in my inbox sent personally to me. So if 2 people weren't clear, there's probably at least 20 of you that I confused! mtDNA: This type of DNA is passed down by the mothers to all their children. Only girls can grow up to be moms, so only they pass

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] x-match

Tish, It depends. Generally, the genetic genealogists suggest that the X match be AT LEAST 10 cMs on the X chromosome AND you also share DNA on some of the other chromosomes. So if it meets those criteria, it can be used. The X inheritance follows a specific pattern. I'll start with males

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] x-match

if you are a female, an x match to a male means you relate to the match through his mother and it cannot be through your paternal grandfather. An x match to a female means only that you are not related through the match's paternal grandfather and your paternal grandfather... all the other lines

Is the x-match column in the ftDNA family finders of any significance? If so, how is it used? Tish -- sfig Researching Island: Santa Maria Freguesia: Santa Barbara -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit
