Greetings,
I've been using Gedmatch the last week and have begun to really enjoy the tools
available for admixture information. I have tiny bits of admixture in my Middle
Eastern segments that are very intriguing......my primary European H3 admixture
is also very interesting....so much yet to discover and interpret in this learn
as I go process.
I've been using my kit# f84748 and my paternal uncle, John Baptiste, kit#
f184472 to discern differences in my father and mother's DNA admixture. What I
discovered were many similarities that raised questions. Then I discovered
another available tool.....to compare my parents.
In 2009, a year before my mother died, I noticed the Silveira surname used by
both of my parent's lines on Sao Jorge. My mother's used it in the de Lemos and
Machado line's from Rosais/Velas and my dad's line had the Silveira Leonardes
from Topo. I told my mom that my intuition told me they were connected somehow
and were cousins.
The Gedmatch tool showed, yes, they are cousins with a shared total segment of
9.3 and had a common ancestor 6 generations ago. My mom would have enjoyed the
affirmation via the "science" tool. Now to follow the trail on paper. I have a
long way to go.
I wish there were better reference maps built into the site tools for clear
understanding of exactly what areas geographically define what admixture
name...ie: Beringian, Hazda, North Europe etc. Some of the tools have maps but
one big admixture map would be helpful.
It's easy to upload your FTDNA info and easy to compare with others and
navigate the site tools.
Now off to the chromosome colored graphs....
