In short, don’t ignore your 2%, 1% or even less than 1% regions and disregard them as noise. . The great-great-grandparent in the 4th generation who inherited 3 Native DNA segments is shown first, then the inheritance of the Native segments through all 3 children to the current generation. Y DNA reflects the direct male line, shown in blue above, and mitochondrial DNA reflects the direct matrilineal line, shown in red.

that begins having significant repetition within the first few generations:  The bio-grandmother was Asinor Wells, that I have never been able to trace with any assurance. Perhaps there are some Native segments that aren’t yet identified as such.

Thanks for these great references, Kitty. Going back to great-great-grandma and her Native heritage. Triangulation, by definition, has to include the identification of ancestors. And if you are male do you still carry the dna your 6-8 grandparent had on his y-dna, Y DNA and autosomal are different. When repetition happens in the near generations, we call it "inbreeding." https://dna-explained.com/2012/10/01/4-kinds-of-dna-for-genetic-genealogy/, Okay, my question is probably a very simple one, but its rather confusing to me.

I have the results but have not studied enough and do not know enough to derive any significant benefit or understanding of the results. I see this issue raise its head consistently when people take an ethnicity test and expect that their “full blood” Native American great-great-grandmother will show up in their results. generation and my siblings? Or perhaps there is an issue with the genealogy. I will be forever grateful that my 83 year old uncle agreed to test, and have me administer his results. In generation 1, your parent inherited half of the DNA that their parent carried, meaning one of 2 segments of Native DNA carried by your grandparent. https://dna-explained.com/2013/08/05/autosomal-dna-ancient-ancestors-ethnicity-and-the-dandelion/, https://gcbias.org/2013/11/04/how-much-of-your-genome-do-you-inherit-from-a-particular-ancestor/, https://gcbias.org/2013/11/11/how-does-your-number-of-genetic-ancestors-grow-back-over-time/, Ethnicity and Physical Features are NOT Accurate Predictors of Parentage or Heritage | DNAeXplained – Genetic Genealogy, https://dna-explained.com/2012/10/01/4-kinds-of-dna-for-genetic-genealogy/.

I know i have Sameblood gfrom both parents. Glancing at all the charts, you can see how testing an elder can gain you additional generations of matches. At FTDNA.

I have five known 4th great grandmothers, 2 known 5th great grandmothers and 2 known 6th great grandmothers who were fully indigenous. I descend from James Harbert and Rebecca Tinney, I think it is the Tinney line that has Indian heritage, possibly Choctaw. However, it’s not possible to assign a precise number of generations. Each couple have had 3 children. https://dna-explained.com/2017/04/11/autosomal-dna-transfers-which-companies-accept-which-tests/. de dah). Do you know what 1/8 cherokee would show up as on the ancestry DNA test? The mutations that we carry is what is being measured. aus oder wählen Sie 'Einstellungen verwalten', um weitere Informationen zu erhalten und eine Auswahl zu treffen. I receive a small contribution when you click on some of the links to vendors in my articles. The formula for the number of ancestors in a given generation

But a test came back at about 1%, which I really did not expect.

He had enough that Ancestry caught it. The photos of Martha Ellen (Harbert) Brown and her mother Savannah (Tinney) Harbert (married to Joe Bailey Harbert) are, in my opinion, unmistakably, reflective of definitive Native American physiological traits. Post was not sent - check your email addresses! It happens so often among southerners, like Jesse & Zerelda, that it's It's not a very exact science, though getting multiple members of your family tested often gives you a more accurate estimate. My Aunt’s / My Father’s Sister have about: Let me get at the question another way that is hopefully more clear.

I don’t think I understand the question, exactly. Discord: https://discord.gg/uKKF38c, Press J to jump to the feed. }); Your email address will not be published. this cousin is on my 1st page of matches and is 2nd-4th cousin. Now that I understand that she could have inherited her Bantu ancestry from one of her English, Irish, or Scottish ancestors, I can expand my search – and hopefully, discover the identity of my Bantu ancestor. The other 10 segments, with no color, were contributed by the father. I bought a 23andme kit from Amazon, then bought the LivingDNA kit when I found out it can show you the maternal and paternal lineage. In fact, the Gedmatch admixture utilities overemphasized the ancient Sephardic ancestry and assumed in some cases I was an Italian Jew. I have also run various tools on GEDmatch.com to confirm that this is indeed North American/Beringean rather than just noise. To me, this would me he is either not my grandfather or adopted. I have second great grandparents that were immigrants from The Azores. You’ll notice that by the time you’re in the 7th generation, you can be expected, on average, to carry 0.78% meaning less than 1% of that GGGGG-grandparent’s DNA. This is an interesting analysis to tell people to leave a record of their life particularly in the area of physical and mental spheres for the future generation which can know their ancestry so as to take care of their future life. Mercedes Brons, author and genealogist, has been doing genealogy both professionally and as an amateur for more than five years. I will go for close approximations. So , I have connected my tree . In 2015 I did my dna on Ancestry and was disappointed none of my Native American ancestry showed up. You might be tempted to brush off these “trace” amounts of DNA from a particular region as statistical noise, but should you? Could anyone help me out here? In other words, how can we know what is plausible – or even possible – when we don’t have a thorough knowledge of our family tree? https://gcbias.org/2013/11/11/how-does-your-number-of-genetic-ancestors-grow-back-over-time/. You may match people you had no idea that tested. Seeing examples of how inheritance works helps us understand that there is no “one answer” to the question we want to know about each ancestor – “How much of you is in me?” The answer is, “it depends” and the actual amount would be different for every ancestor except your parents, where the answer is always 50%. Today’s article has a chart you’ll find useful I think. Therefore, you may not have inherited the red segment of GGGGG-grandmother’s Native DNA, but your sibling might, or vice versa. It also stated my Native ancestor would have lived between 1680-1730. They moved to the Virginia frontier by 1750, where I imagine the qualities of character trumped a checkered past or ethnic prejudice. Of course, this number doesn't mean you have that many unique ancestors in 40 generations. Keep researching! The words “on average” are crucial to this discussion, because the average assumes that in fact each generation between your GGGGG-grandmother and you inherited exactly half of the DNA in each generation from their parent that was contributed by that GGGGG-grandmother. For several reasons, including wanting to know more about this small percentage of possibly North African ancestry, I asked him if he would be willing to take a DNA test with 23andMe. Genealogical research will help and mitochondrial DNA testing of an appropriate descendant will point the way to her true ethnic heritage, at least on her mother’s side. https://dna-explained.com/2018/12/28/ethnicity-is-just-an-estimate-yes-really/. A very common question is, “How much DNA of an ancestor do I carry and how does that affect my ethnicity results?”. Excited but confused. i have referred many customers to FTDNA (Bryan, McDaniel, Qualls surname projects). Is that because I inherited more DNA from my mom? There are lots of ways to keep track of this “segment data”, as I call it.

2 generations back you have 4 grandparents, so each contributed roughly 1/4 or 25%. And that’s why I always suggest that we follow the DNA, leaving no chromosome or DNA segment un-turned .

This is why ethnicity estimates are just that, estimates. “You” are at the bottom of the tree.

You or your siblings may show small percentages of Native or other locations considered to be a component of Native admixture in the absence of any other logical explanation for their presence, such as Siberian or Eastern Asian. 5 generations back you have … this cousin is on my 1st page of matches and is 2nd-4th cousin also. You never know where your ancestor’s DNA will turn up, and each person will carry a different amount, and different segments of DNA from your common ancestors. Roberta, thank-you so much for these educational posts! In 2019 my brother did his dna on Ancestry and he came back less than 1% Native. How can this possibly be? makes it very clear why At-DNA is most useful within five generations, In other words, your great-aunt and great-uncle’s DNA is every bit as important to you as your own grandparent’s DNA – so test everyone in older generations while you can, and their children if they are no longer available. Then in 2016 I did my great aunt on my mom’s side and she came back 3% Native. My family can be traced to almost 100% European……..I thought. What I have is on my tree is at Ancestry.com., where there is also Brown and Bryan / Bryant, but unknown if those lines are related to Qualls. In the second example, above, neither you nor your parent or grandparent inherited any of the Native segments. The status of a convict certainly limited his associations during his 7 year tenure and then whom he could marry when freed. 2 generations back you have 4 grandparents, so each contributed roughly 1/4 or 25%. Quick question. Every child inherits exactly 50% of their autosomal DNA from each parent (except for the X chromosome in males.) They thought when my face and body were more “Indonesian”, Thai or Vietnamese than my Father’s and his sisters.

That's about 200 years ago or slightly less. I have had my DNA results from both Ancestry and My Heritage, and zero Iberian Peninsula. Thank you!!! I hope that this post helped you learn why it is important that you research and learn about all of the branches of your family tree. This is the same principle as identical by population – and now you understand how those populations came to carry so much of the same DNA:).

If you have any questions about something that you read in this post, or if you would like to add your experience tracking down your trace ethnicity regions, I would love to hear from you in the discussion below. Often times we read experiences of people with strong played-up family lore about a Native American ancestor, who are severely disappointed that it does not show up at all in an autosomnal DNA test. My maternal grandmother was Josephine (Brown) Qualls. I feel for you Rosemary – this makes everything more complex. I have a couple of exact Mt-DNA matches to Qualls, although my Mt-DNA is western European. 7 years ago. This showed me that the inheritance of DNA can be haphazard indeed beyond the parent/child relationship.
