Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage DNA test

Now that is not quite true, My DNA proved conclusively that I am not the viking I believed I was and for that matter not the Scott Either. Turns out that we are Irish and there are at least 16 of us who were not at all known to each other and who are spread around the world, who submitted the

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage DNA test

The popular DNA tests match you with people who have similar DNA live NOW! They do NOT match you with the place from which your DNA may have originated! This misconception is fostered by the sites that are deluding you. CE From: LegacyUserGroup

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage DNA test

The least valid part of a DNA test is the ethnicity estimate. Load your results to GedMatch. They have a number of different options for calculating your ethnicity - but that's just for fun. The real results are the matches you have with other people. Understanding those results takes

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage DNA test

You are absolutely correct. Ask any geneticist! It is incredibly complicated. If you research your family, research DNA testing! The whole premise is flawed, to say nothing of the total lack of privacy concerning your results. Those may well affect your ability to obtain medical insurance and

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage DNA test

If you took the MyHeritage autosomal DNA test, you can transfer the results to Family Tree DNA and get their analysis of your ethnic ancestry. You can also transfer to GEDMATCH.com and see what ethnicity they find for you. Ethnicity estimates beyond continental origins, Africa, Europe, Asia,

[LegacyUG] Using Legacy for recording atDNA and Gedmatch.com for Ancient Heritage

I add people who match my wife's atDNA or mtDNA or my mtDNA or yDNA or atDNA test results to Legacy. I add info like "DNA Chr 1 Match to Jay" to the "Name Suffix Field". Then I use the Legacy Search, Find, Detailed Search, and search for PRIMARY CONDITION Look for Whom: Individual Where to

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage DNA test

This little flurry of erroneous DNA results reinforces my view that the current obsession with DNA as a genealogy tool serves more the commercial profiting from a quite recent and important scientific discovery, than adding any certainty to our family tree. Edward From: LegacyUserGroup

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage DNA test

I had similar DNA inconsistencies. Ancestry reported primarily Scandinavian, Irish and Western European. MyHeritage reported English and Irish/Scottish/Welsh. The only possible explanation I have found is from a couple of sources: They say that there can be a strong Scandinavian impact in

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage DNA test

Hi Kevin Join the club-I had my DNA test results from MyHeritage last week. They gave no indication of my English ancestors for which I have documented evidence. Both my maternal and paternal ancestors were English going back to at least to 1750. The DNA profile for England was 0. I intend

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage DNA test

Agree, and you can create events or notes to document specific matches or triangulations that you might find (as you could with Y-DNA matches). I think that the broad ethnic background tests are still a bit of a black art. Different companies produce different results. And how far back do you

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage DNA test

Kevin - This has been discussed before and, as I remember, the answer is that the autosomal results are too massive to include in Legacy. Plus, they would be difficult to interpret in Legacy. Putting the lengthy raw results into Legacy would swell the files unacceptably. Jerry Case On

[LegacyUG] MyHeritage DNA test

Hello, I have the results from a Myhertiage DNA test. I have one for myself and my wife. How do I go about adding this to my Legacy family tree? The DNA test was an autosumal test but I don't see that listed on the add DNA screen. The results are rather intriguing and I have no idea how far
