Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] DNA question to ponder

[JesseAndDeborah Mendonca]

E. Sharp,

I’m with you, at 64!   The breakdown isn’t quite as simple as that when you
are half if your parent’s DNA doesn’t come from a 100% parent.My
husband shows about 87%.  Our 4 kids ended up battling over who was the
MOST Portuguese. The one who looks most like him with the most shared
personality traits actually had less than her sister!   It all depends on
how her dad’s DNA recombined onto the X chromosome she received.

That doesn’t help on your question.I suspect that it would depend on
the number of total cM shared AND the length of the longest shared strand.
The shared lengths decrease over generations from the way DNA is passed.
Ancestry doesn’t give longest length.

Did your show ever give an answer?

Deb-OOO-rah when I order!

[AZORES-Genealogy] DNA question to ponder

[E. Sharp]

Cheryl and others.  Here is something to ponder.I will use Cheryl as an 
example as I believe her dad was half Portuguese and her mom none.  If her dad 
is half, Cheryl would be 1/4?? Portuguese, assuming all of the following 
married non Portuguese,  if Cheryl had a child, it would be 1/8?? Portuguese, 
if that child had a child it would be 1/16?? Portuguese...at what point would 
Portuguese be eliminated from showing up any DNA??  

Watching an interesting sort of gnome  program and wondered about this.
