Thank you for this explanation. This is literally the first time that I have understood kinship relations. Your explanation was simple and easy to follow. Also, I loved the new cursor. Stay safe.
Good explanation! I'm finally understanding these relationships. However... I had to keep backing up the video because ads kept popping up in the middle of your sentences and disrupting the thought. Too many randomly placed commercials, TH-cam!
Larry, it would be nice if you can put the level in the title. For instance, Beg 1, Int 1, Exp 1. I'm fairly new to your channel and when I click to watch, you introduce it as intermediate #4 etc. I would like to start from the beginning. I do think it will be helpful to me but right now, I'm way too confused.
Larry the line I am trying to find has an entire family of cousins who matches to me from 18cM-120cM. And they are the all the same generation (as explained by your video) but the spread of ages is from 40-75 years old. Using your other cM video and DNA Painter we have decided our MRCA is my third great grandfather. We think he had two wives and two families. I am the descendant of one and they are the descendants of the other. Is there a way to prove this without documentation? We are trying to find the documents but mid 1800's is tough going.
@@DNAFamilyTrees we believe the documents are not online. FS has many as yet unindexed documents and so that may yet yield something. Sadly South African doc are not as indexed or placed online as in the US.
@@DNAFamilyTrees just was watching the step by step one. I also do my husbands genealogy and his mother was adopted. We found her mother's side of the family through DNA matches but as this was a highly endogamous Irish family finding the Dad is interesting but as it was in the US I am very hopeful especially using your methods. I'll let you know if we succeed. We have a possible contender but the match ran for the hills when we mentioned we may be their half first cousin through the grandfather! :0
Yashaya Yaquab 144 I will get a lot of flak on this answer but the answer is no Despite what others in field will say It will tell you only that you intersect that particular person on male line somewhere It will not give tree or surname with any high degree of certainty My very latest video explains why Both you and the other person may have paper perfect trees that neither ( or one of you) actually connect to. That is why I have not done a video on Y dna tests They depend on accuracy of paper trees which with the dna tests now are about 50% surprises at parent/ grandparent With Y dna that would mean the paper tree would have to be without surprises 13 generations or at least 9 Just not reliable in my opinion Would be hard to change my mind in this area The Y tests that were “accepted “ as fact a few years ago no longer are even grouped on FTDNA groups Then the variances by generation means even surnames can mix over time So in my opinion - No

Thank you Kathleen
Once again Thank you for making this subject clear

im going to split them into channels to make it easier :)

check the playlist for "finding bio family" those in order should help you significantly
todays 2@2 will help too, and itll be hard without some document somewhere but if in usa, its highly likey there, just have to find right spot

Excellent! 🌿
I'm older than my mother's half sister. She is my half-aunt
👍
It’s not common but not really uncommon either!
Ty for the real world example!
@@DNAFamilyTrees You're welcome. Love what you are doing.

They depend on accuracy of paper trees which with the dna tests now are about 50% surprises at parent/ grandparent
With Y dna that would mean the paper tree would have to be without surprises 13 generations or at least 9
Just not reliable in my opinion
Would be hard to change my mind in this area
The Y tests that were “accepted “ as fact a few years ago no longer are even grouped on FTDNA groups
Then the variances by generation means even surnames can mix over time
So in my opinion - No
How do I get to talk to you ?
Email dnafamilytrees@gmail.com
how do I access the wiki?
never mind. en.wikipedia.org
I thought ancestry.com had a wiki
On search menu option on top click it and last option in drop down is research wiki
@@DNAFamilyTrees Larry, is that for all membership levels? I don't have it.
