They easily followed the instructions and sent in their tests. The giving of this gift was simple for my parents as they are local. Giving this gift was easier said than done. Of course, the further back in your pedigree you can to the DNA test the better.

The thought behind giving the tests to them was to get a clearer picture than doing them ourselves. We thought it would satisfy our family’s curiosity as to where we all came from and hopefully confirm rumors of Native American and Jewish heritage that floated through the family stories. I can add that we and the links are also in different parts of the world, – I am in Oxford England, CD in New Jersey – the link to GY and me is in Central Germany around 1800, the link between BS and me in Yorkshire in the same period.For a recent Christmas, my husband and I decided to give a gift to our parents that would then, in turn, give back to our family for possibly generations to come. These should have been clues to what my link with CD was, except that the two shared matches are on totally different sides of my family, GY from paternal grandmother, a double link 5 generations ago and BS from paternal grandfather, also 5 generations back. Both of them matched more distantly than I did – GY is 41.9 to me, 0.2 to CD and BS is 2.4 to CD and 0.2 to me. Looking at the shared links with CD I found two with people whose relationship to me I knew. Thank you for your continuing posts which are interesting, informative and helpful.įollowing your post today on finding information from links on MyHeritage I did some searching on a link (I can use name CD)which has always been a little puzzling as it is quite close in DNA terms (172.1 cM) but I had never been able to see a link in our trees, though CD had not taken hers all that far back.

Chromosome Browser – Shared DNA Segments.Triangulating with multiple other relatives assures me of a valid match. MIchael matches my mother too, so if I didn’t already know which parental side Michael matched me on, I do now. Shared DNA Matches, including triangulation indicated by the purple circled segment icon at right.Summary Information (estimated relationship, % match, shared cM match, number of shared segments, largest segment in cM,).Scroll down to review all of your information in common with this match including: We’ll use my match with Michael as an example. You’ll see a combination of both features. Voila – using this filter setting, the only matches you will see are your DNA matches that are also SmartMatches, meaning the other person shares a common ancestor (or more) in a tree with you.
