Thank you for this video. I'll be starting a new wato tree. The way you explain it is actually easy to understand. I built one before but don't think i did it right. I've been trying to figure out who my dad's birth father was and i think I'm close, but the wato tree should help me.
Thank you!!! I've a 2nd gt grfather who seems to be a stray cat: no known links to either of the names he used - cousins came to same conclusion. I've a cluster of names-right place, time, and both endogamy & pedigree collapse show up in matches 'trees - so cMs can be disproportionate. (I've dealt with that in another family- 59cM for a 5C? Seems to me about 4 siblings were in the same tree..) Now I see how I can start with one of the 3 pairs (His suspected grandparents, build down to my matches- & look for what adjustments are needed. I am not ignoring the possibility that the donor was not the family stray cat, but x, y, or z.. Needless to say I'm not dealing with huge numbers of cMs, but the DNA is there- they match each other. Thanks again!
Could you do a video on comparing the difference between two different scenarios. Scenario 1: 2nd cousins with the MRCA being identical twins. Scenario 2: instead of being 2nd cousins, they are instead half 1st cousins? I have all the shared match data in a Wato tree, but there doesnt seem to be a way to designate identical twins.
That's the way the algorithm is written, that it must be 1900 or later. The year doesn't need to be accurate though, so I would just put 1900 and keep on going
Ciao sono Kevin ho fatto test DNA myheritage e ho corrispondenze molte dai paesi europei orientale e ovest e balcanici e finlandesi.io sono italiano sud puglia.le mie etnie sono greco e italiano meridionale sardo e medio orientale.ho un gruppo di persone dai Balcani 11 che non tutti hanno le mie due etnie greco e medio oriente.ma loro hanno anche ebrei poi europei orientale e balcanico e altre etnie.qualcuno di loro hanno italiano .però tutti loro hanno Asia meridionale e gruppi genetici dei rom cosa vuol dire? Le percentuali sono tra 8% 9% 13,7 14,8 15% e myheritage dice prima diceva che avevamo trisavolo in comune ora myheritage dice che sono cugini di quarto grado e abbiamo in comune i quartisavolo e qualcuno i qui tavoli.cosa significa.?co loro questo gruppo ho una triangolazione su cromosoma 16 stessa posizione.non riesco ha capire chi e questo antenato che abbiamo in comune.io nel mio albero non ho la parte materna perché mia nonna non si sa chi era il suo padre e anche sua madre mia bisnonna non ave un padre e possibile una connessione?grazie
I had high hopes for this video, but found the music to be distracting. I had to unsubscribe. Perhaps you can shoot it again without the music? Thanks.
This clear explanation of WATO makes me want to dance, so bring on the music!
Awesome! This is really helpful. You explained it clearly for something that could quickly get complicated.
Thanks for watcing!
Such a great video series. I hope you have more videos. Off to look now.

Whose is the target name
You can put whatever you'd like. It won't affect the calculations. It's just for you.
Why is it telling me to enter a birthday of 1900 or later, when the target person was born in 1889? Please help!

Ditch the music!
Sorry that you're not finding it helpful. I can't delete the music, but if you mute the video, I think you'll find the closed caption to be well-timed

Hi Colleen. Feel free to mute and use the closed caption. It's perfectly timed with the video. Good luck in your search!
Me too. I have ADHD and can't cope with the distraction. Tried watching with sound off but cant read transcript and watch at the same time! Hopeless
