From the Ancestry DNA matches I received a message from someone wanting to know how we were related. She was adopted and had no information. I was able to compare DNA and figured out she was part of my maternal line. Long story short...she was my half first cousin. She found her parents (unfortunately both deceased), a sibling and a whole lot of Ancestors.

Thanks for sharing. I learned I am 50 % Chinese, I had no idea about my bio-father and ethnicity. I also got a relative name , which could be my Paternal family 1/2 nephew or first cousin..I am believing this common Chinese name is my bio father, which makes it tough to research..Ive also written to him and have no answer , yet. Can you tell me does ancestry email notices from us to our personal emails?

Yay for the gingers! The Italian and Norwegian parts of my family carry that genetic trait. Gingers are found all over the place not just the British Isles 🤗 Love your videos btw! We did 23andMe in 2015 and had some interesting surprises but it confirmed that when our parents had us they united the entire continent of Europe plus some Native American, North African and Middle Eastern sprinkles for good measure. My Tunisian husband’s results really shocked him as he is from Tunisia and knows exactly where he’s from. The results just prove how diverse his Mediterranean country is. I have always known quite a bit about my ancestry due to relatives doing genealogy and keeping history but the DNA results are a nice addition. This was a really nice video. What a sweet man. I hope that this DNA test will be a launching point to discover more family.

A few years later, this new child lives with supposedly eldest sister (more like mother), whom later got married. The new husband refers to the child as his son-in-law.

My first husband grew up with a family who had a scenario a bit like that. The oldest daughter went away to school in Italy and somehow the parents went over there and came back with a baby girl that they had "adopted” 🤔. They already had a huge family with this baby being raised as the youngest. It was a secret that others knew about. At the girls wedding her sister/mother posed for photos with her after the ceremony as well as the adoptive mother and father/ biological grandparents. The biological mother had a very successful and prosperous life but never any other children. Being an unwed mother would have been too scandalous and shameful.

But mostly we're just hoping to find closer matches than we've had through 23 & me (I found some great results with 3rd cousins & 2nd cousins once removed from my dad's branch that filled in some huge blanks after we didn't know his great aunts had gone to America & Canada, but nothing closer).

I have an Irish connection on my paternal side from the early 1800s but everything about her & her parents before they moved to England is a mystery. I've also been helping a friend with her tree, we got back to Scotland for her father's branch then 7/8 great grandparent branches had come from Ireland in the mid 1800s and so far I've found nothing about the ones I've tried to research. It's difficult because most of my own known ancestors are from England (so far), you get used to the records you know will be available, so when you jump back to Ireland andnit's so...kinda luck based. Not that English records are plain sailing though, I've still had a few parish records that had been badly damaged through fire or just age, and some of them the further information you hope for is missing or damaged beyond fully legible. And again there's luck there because if my ancestors had been on the facing page, the damage would have obliterated their names completely and I would forever be searching for a document that can't be found. I'd love to be in a position where I could go through damaged records like that and try to use those and other parish records to piece them back together (like you have the names and occupations of the fathers of the marrying couple, but not the marrying couples names, so detective work using the other registers (baptisms and deaths) and census info if inhe right period, to figure out the names of the marrying couple. I just think something like that would be interesting to do, but very time consuming, but what do you do with the info after to make it accessible to those researching 🤷♀️?

I've something similar going on with one of my Irish close DNA matches. We share 201 cM across 13 segments. Their claim is that they are the great-grandchild of my grandmother but I also suspect they could be descended from my grandmother's brother (who had mental health problems and was very briefly married to a similarly troubled person). Everyone from the previous generations is deceased. So I'm not sure how to look at that shared DNA and determine whether this match is either a half-relation from my grandmother or a cousin from my grand-uncle. Any suggestions, Jarett? Thanks!

One thing you can check is if you share any DNA on the x-chromosome. If you share at least 10cM of DNA on your x-chromosome then you can use x-chromosome inheritance patterns to rule out certain relations. The next best thing is to get known descendants of your grand-uncle to DNA test, assuming he has known descendants. Another option is to try a WATO analysis, but this will require you having other DNA matches from this family that you know exactly how you are related and will more than likely give little determination either way.

That adds up to 38% that is non-british, though they could come from the same person they may be from separate individuals (eg Iberian may come from maternal side and Eastern European from dad's or both may come from one side but different grandparents). I mean, it is possible to have a misread, but that would be two big misreads. It sounds more like someone isn't being honest, possibly someone lied (or was lied to) about their ancestry (where they were from or who their parents were), there may have been an undisclosed adoption, or possibly an indiscretion somewhere. 38% could be all from one of your parents, or (more likely, I would guess), a grandparent or 2 (or more): my mum has 30% Swedish she inherited from 1 grandmother. Idk how accurate or the population groups they test for on MH, is it possible you have a grandparent (or 2+) who were Jewish and fled to England to escape the rising anti-semitism & Hitler in the late 30s early 40s. It's hard to say without know the ages/birth years we're looking at, it's just one possibility Have you checked the result by uploading to other sites/taking a test with a different site? Are your parents still alive? If so, is it possible you can get your parents (or grandparents if still around) to do DNA tests? Do you have siblings who might also take a test? Have you found any matches that could help you try and figure it out? You mention the ancestors ou know of are British, how far back have you gone and have you covered all 4 grandparents? So, what I would do in your position: My *1st* move would be to upload to other sites, get a different take on the raw data's ancestry admixture. *2nd* would be to take the test again with a bigger company like ancestry (to be sure there was no contamination or switched samples). Check genetic matches. *3rd* go back over what you know of your tree and double check all the connections are correct (get vital certificates like births deaths and marriages): Check birthdates correspond with parents marriages (eg, my aunt was born before my grandparents married, if there had been secrets kept we would have been confused, however my grandmother was always open that she conceived to another man who was kid during ww2, my grandad was a good friend of his and stepped in to marry her). Check if the baby (eg your parent or grandparent etc) was born/conceived before or after parent's marriage (I've been told it wasn't unusual in the 18th/19th century that the women got pregnant before they married because the husband quite often wanted to know the woman was able to give him kids before they married, but they _usually_ seemed to marry within a few months of conception so they weren't unwed mother's and the baby wasn't illegitimate; not sure when that practice lost popularity or died out). Was the mother a logical age for giving birth (if you see a woman who you know to be in her 50s listed as mum and she has an unwed daughter...she's likely to be grandma stepping in). You may also check for previous marriages that the child may have come from if they were already born when parents married or if you can't find a marriage for the parents in the right time frame. The amount of info available will depend on: where in Britain you're searching, eg English & Welsh records differ from Scottish, and some areas of E&W have more available info than others (eg, I was able to find school registration info for my London based great grandparents around 1890, but not for the others who were elsewhere in England, but then there were parish records etc that got destroyed during the London blitz); the date range you're looking at (eg from, England & Wales don't start putting mother's maiden names in the listing until about 1911, and the last publicly available census in England is 1911 (1921 is due early next year, I believe), then there are plenty of WW1 records available to search but they're not 100% complete, and WW2 records have very little available on ancestry at the moment - from my own experience anyway. You do have the 1939 register of Englnd & Wales, which is very useful for finding out occupation & date of birth if you know their name and where they were living, providing they're not crossed out because they're still alive or something); and, finally, it depends on what kind of money you have available to put into subscriptions for researching databases for corroborating info (eg, I'm lucky enough to be able to afford a worldwide ancestry sub, which has been very useful for my research). Make sure you have birth & marriage certificates for all your grandparents (where you can) and death certificates for older connections can give you unexpected info...like if a sibling or son/daughter you didn't know about is listed as the informant. Make sure everything matches up, because you could have a child being raised by an aunt/uncle/grandparent etc if something happened to the parents or if mum was unwed or too young etc. 4th if you still aren't seeing where the unexpected ancestry is from, start asking other family members to take tests so you can "expand your research". Start at parents & grandparents, if they're no help or unavailable (eg if they're estranged or passed), you could look a siblings, aunts, uncles, etc. 5th (may go hand in hand with 4 if people want to know why you want them to take a test, though I wouldn't talk about things like possible adoptions and indiscretions, just the unexpected Iberian & Eastern European ) talk to family members about their history and what they know (especially if you still have older relatives you can speak too, like grandparents, great aunts/uncles etc), see if there's any family drama you didn't knownabout from back in the day. Lol. Go in with an open and logical mind, but obviously tread lightly and carefully. It could be something very simple like a misread/mixed up samples, a flaw in your research, or the scenario of (great) grandparents fleeing N@zi Europe and raising a grandparent who didn't even know their family history. Or it could be something wild like a story I read about where two babies had accidentally been swapped in the hospital back in the 40s and grew up in very different cultures to their own. Or it could be something emotionally difficult like an undisclosed adoption (at any level), or your parents used fertility treatments to conceive (ivf for example). Etc. Good luck on your journey to figure things out. I hope something in my rambling & long reply is useful. (Apologies for any typos it's 1am)

Depends on the test you take. Also a misconception about these tests is that they are looking at older ancestry. They are matching you against modern populations so Irish people should match their Irish panels really well. The tests will change when they do updates also so it depends on how good their population panels are. Also they are majorly geared to US testers. Deep dna analysis is not what these tests are are.

I am surprised that he's putting such faith in Ancestry DNA. I did Ancestry DNA. I'm American, I grew up in a small town that was built on an ancestors farm; family came to the US in 1735 from Switzerland, through New Berne NC. For the first few generations, intermarried with decendants of other New Berne emigrants (some northern Switzerland, some southern Germany). I have a line going back to 1700 in the US that's Scottish, and through Chesapeake Bay Virginia prior to that. Another line goes back to a Welshman who settled in southen Virginia about 1650 and yet another to a Scottish family who came to the NC Cape Fear River valley in 1736, Ancestry DNA first reported that I was 32% English, 32% Scottish, and 32% Welsh, with 4% "General central Western European". OK, that sounds a lot like what I know. Then a few weeks ago, they sent me a notice saying that they reclassified me and now, I'm 30% Irish, the rest Scottish and English. I've lost a lot of faith in this process.

Ancestry is great to build a family tree and find records to match your relatives but as far as percentage and even locations they are not the realible when I first did the test they gave like 28% Portuguese and only %6 Spanish which is laughable since my moms father side are new immigrants and they come straight from Spain during the civil war and my dads family father side are Basques and arrived to Mexico in 1836 . Then they did another update and they changed but still the Basque is very low which if I go by documentation should be higher the only thing they got semi right was my Native American ancestry which it cover a lot of the West of the USA and I know my grandma tribe actually did cover those regions. I’m planning to try another company just to compare them but haven’t decided which one yet.

I was able to compare DNA and figured out she was part of my maternal line. Long story short...she was my half first cousin. She found her parents (unfortunately both deceased), a sibling and a whole lot of Ancestors.

We did 23andMe in 2015 and had some interesting surprises but it confirmed that when our parents had us they united the entire continent of Europe plus some Native American, North African and Middle Eastern sprinkles for good measure. My Tunisian husband’s results really shocked him as he is from Tunisia and knows exactly where he’s from. The results just prove how diverse his Mediterranean country is. I have always known quite a bit about my ancestry due to relatives doing genealogy and keeping history but the DNA results are a nice addition. This was a really nice video. What a sweet man. I hope that this DNA test will be a launching point to discover more family.

My first husband grew up with a family who had a scenario a bit like that. The oldest daughter went away to school in Italy and somehow the parents went over there and came back with a baby girl that they had "adopted” 🤔. They already had a huge family with this baby being raised as the youngest. It was a secret that others knew about. At the girls wedding her sister/mother posed for photos with her after the ceremony as well as the adoptive mother and father/ biological grandparents. The biological mother had a very successful and prosperous life but never any other children. Being an unwed mother would have been too scandalous and shameful.
As a note, the Irish lad has used an image from Cernnunos Celtic deity, depicted on the Gunderstrup Cauldron; found in Denmark. Iron Age.

I did 23 and Me a couple years ago, I'm hoping the larger database that ancestry have will give me more precise info (I'm expecting a small % of Irish to show, and a nice chunk of Swedish from my great grandmother (who we know very little about) but other than that we were still getting random mixes from the rest like France & Germany, that seem to alter every now and then...like the random 0.5% Senegal that popped up on my brother's after the last update out of nowhere (the rest of our results are very north/northwest European) lol. But mostly we're just hoping to find closer matches than we've had through 23 & me (I found some great results with 3rd cousins & 2nd cousins once removed from my dad's branch that filled in some huge blanks after we didn't know his great aunts had gone to America & Canada, but nothing closer).

I have an Irish connection on my paternal side from the early 1800s but everything about her & her parents before they moved to England is a mystery. I've also been helping a friend with her tree, we got back to Scotland for her father's branch then 7/8 great grandparent branches had come from Ireland in the mid 1800s and so far I've found nothing about the ones I've tried to research. It's difficult because most of my own known ancestors are from England (so far), you get used to the records you know will be available, so when you jump back to Ireland andnit's so...kinda luck based. Not that English records are plain sailing though, I've still had a few parish records that had been badly damaged through fire or just age, and some of them the further information you hope for is missing or damaged beyond fully legible. And again there's luck there because if my ancestors had been on the facing page, the damage would have obliterated their names completely and I would forever be searching for a document that can't be found. I'd love to be in a position where I could go through damaged records like that and try to use those and other parish records to piece them back together (like you have the names and occupations of the fathers of the marrying couple, but not the marrying couples names, so detective work using the other registers (baptisms and deaths) and census info if inhe right period, to figure out the names of the marrying couple. I just think something like that would be interesting to do, but very time consuming, but what do you do with the info after to make it accessible to those researching 🤷♀️?

I've something similar going on with one of my Irish close DNA matches. We share 201 cM across 13 segments. Their claim is that they are the great-grandchild of my grandmother but I also suspect they could be descended from my grandmother's brother (who had mental health problems and was very briefly married to a similarly troubled person). Everyone from the previous generations is deceased. So I'm not sure how to look at that shared DNA and determine whether this match is either a half-relation from my grandmother or a cousin from my grand-uncle. Any suggestions, Jarett? Thanks!

One thing you can check is if you share any DNA on the x-chromosome. If you share at least 10cM of DNA on your x-chromosome then you can use x-chromosome inheritance patterns to rule out certain relations. The next best thing is to get known descendants of your grand-uncle to DNA test, assuming he has known descendants. Another option is to try a WATO analysis, but this will require you having other DNA matches from this family that you know exactly how you are related and will more than likely give little determination either way.

Turns out I am 77.8% British and Irish and even one local is from Glasgow. My bio great grandfather had red hair. His last name was Allen. The German part is 15.1%. Crazy. The lesser amts surprised me. 1.7% Italy and .6% Sardinian, .2% Broadly NW Asian and .1% North African. I tested via 23andme. Where did red hair originate...does anyone know? Googled it and it says central asia red hair originated but I don't see that as predominate like it is in Ireland and Scotland.
I wish matches in Ancestry were more kind answering messages. I have enough records on my mother's side but none in my father's side. Is very frustrating and I don't know what to do. Any advice?

You mentioned about livingDNA, I uploaded my raw DNA there and it was pretty accurate, on another branch, 2 x gr-grandparents were from Wales, He was from Flintshire (North Wales) and She was from Brecanshire (South Wales), For North Wales it has 3.4% and for South Wales it has 2.1%.

That adds up to 38% that is non-british, though they could come from the same person they may be from separate individuals (eg Iberian may come from maternal side and Eastern European from dad's or both may come from one side but different grandparents). I mean, it is possible to have a misread, but that would be two big misreads. It sounds more like someone isn't being honest, possibly someone lied (or was lied to) about their ancestry (where they were from or who their parents were), there may have been an undisclosed adoption, or possibly an indiscretion somewhere. 38% could be all from one of your parents, or (more likely, I would guess), a grandparent or 2 (or more): my mum has 30% Swedish she inherited from 1 grandmother. Idk how accurate or the population groups they test for on MH, is it possible you have a grandparent (or 2+) who were Jewish and fled to England to escape the rising anti-semitism & Hitler in the late 30s early 40s. It's hard to say without know the ages/birth years we're looking at, it's just one possibility Have you checked the result by uploading to other sites/taking a test with a different site? Are your parents still alive? If so, is it possible you can get your parents (or grandparents if still around) to do DNA tests? Do you have siblings who might also take a test? Have you found any matches that could help you try and figure it out? You mention the ancestors ou know of are British, how far back have you gone and have you covered all 4 grandparents? So, what I would do in your position: My *1st* move would be to upload to other sites, get a different take on the raw data's ancestry admixture. *2nd* would be to take the test again with a bigger company like ancestry (to be sure there was no contamination or switched samples). Check genetic matches. *3rd* go back over what you know of your tree and double check all the connections are correct (get vital certificates like births deaths and marriages): Check birthdates correspond with parents marriages (eg, my aunt was born before my grandparents married, if there had been secrets kept we would have been confused, however my grandmother was always open that she conceived to another man who was kid during ww2, my grandad was a good friend of his and stepped in to marry her). Check if the baby (eg your parent or grandparent etc) was born/conceived before or after parent's marriage (I've been told it wasn't unusual in the 18th/19th century that the women got pregnant before they married because the husband quite often wanted to know the woman was able to give him kids before they married, but they _usually_ seemed to marry within a few months of conception so they weren't unwed mother's and the baby wasn't illegitimate; not sure when that practice lost popularity or died out). Was the mother a logical age for giving birth (if you see a woman who you know to be in her 50s listed as mum and she has an unwed daughter...she's likely to be grandma stepping in). You may also check for previous marriages that the child may have come from if they were already born when parents married or if you can't find a marriage for the parents in the right time frame. The amount of info available will depend on: where in Britain you're searching, eg English & Welsh records differ from Scottish, and some areas of E&W have more available info than others (eg, I was able to find school registration info for my London based great grandparents around 1890, but not for the others who were elsewhere in England, but then there were parish records etc that got destroyed during the London blitz); the date range you're looking at (eg from, England & Wales don't start putting mother's maiden names in the listing until about 1911, and the last publicly available census in England is 1911 (1921 is due early next year, I believe), then there are plenty of WW1 records available to search but they're not 100% complete, and WW2 records have very little available on ancestry at the moment - from my own experience anyway. You do have the 1939 register of Englnd & Wales, which is very useful for finding out occupation & date of birth if you know their name and where they were living, providing they're not crossed out because they're still alive or something); and, finally, it depends on what kind of money you have available to put into subscriptions for researching databases for corroborating info (eg, I'm lucky enough to be able to afford a worldwide ancestry sub, which has been very useful for my research). Make sure you have birth & marriage certificates for all your grandparents (where you can) and death certificates for older connections can give you unexpected info...like if a sibling or son/daughter you didn't know about is listed as the informant. Make sure everything matches up, because you could have a child being raised by an aunt/uncle/grandparent etc if something happened to the parents or if mum was unwed or too young etc. 4th if you still aren't seeing where the unexpected ancestry is from, start asking other family members to take tests so you can "expand your research". Start at parents & grandparents, if they're no help or unavailable (eg if they're estranged or passed), you could look a siblings, aunts, uncles, etc. 5th (may go hand in hand with 4 if people want to know why you want them to take a test, though I wouldn't talk about things like possible adoptions and indiscretions, just the unexpected Iberian & Eastern European ) talk to family members about their history and what they know (especially if you still have older relatives you can speak too, like grandparents, great aunts/uncles etc), see if there's any family drama you didn't knownabout from back in the day. Lol. Go in with an open and logical mind, but obviously tread lightly and carefully. It could be something very simple like a misread/mixed up samples, a flaw in your research, or the scenario of (great) grandparents fleeing N@zi Europe and raising a grandparent who didn't even know their family history. Or it could be something wild like a story I read about where two babies had accidentally been swapped in the hospital back in the 40s and grew up in very different cultures to their own. Or it could be something emotionally difficult like an undisclosed adoption (at any level), or your parents used fertility treatments to conceive (ivf for example). Etc. Good luck on your journey to figure things out. I hope something in my rambling & long reply is useful. (Apologies for any typos it's 1am)

Depends on the test you take. Also a misconception about these tests is that they are looking at older ancestry. They are matching you against modern populations so Irish people should match their Irish panels really well. The tests will change when they do updates also so it depends on how good their population panels are. Also they are majorly geared to US testers. Deep dna analysis is not what these tests are are.

I am surprised that he's putting such faith in Ancestry DNA. I did Ancestry DNA. I'm American, I grew up in a small town that was built on an ancestors farm; family came to the US in 1735 from Switzerland, through New Berne NC. For the first few generations, intermarried with decendants of other New Berne emigrants (some northern Switzerland, some southern Germany). I have a line going back to 1700 in the US that's Scottish, and through Chesapeake Bay Virginia prior to that. Another line goes back to a Welshman who settled in southen Virginia about 1650 and yet another to a Scottish family who came to the NC Cape Fear River valley in 1736, Ancestry DNA first reported that I was 32% English, 32% Scottish, and 32% Welsh, with 4% "General central Western European". OK, that sounds a lot like what I know. Then a few weeks ago, they sent me a notice saying that they reclassified me and now, I'm 30% Irish, the rest Scottish and English. I've lost a lot of faith in this process.

Then they did another update and they changed but still the Basque is very low which if I go by documentation should be higher the only thing they got semi right was my Native American ancestry which it cover a lot of the West of the USA and I know my grandma tribe actually did cover those regions.
