    hi, UsefulCharts : I made yesterday a tree of english kings by male primogeniture law, and I have find the rightful king : there is still a living Plantagenet, he's "duke" or "count" of Somerset, and he came right back in male line from John de Gaunt :)

    Hi. I'm a genealogy nerd, but the only thing keeping me from using these services is the privacy. There have been cases where the US government has demanded DNA data (and other stuff, like private conversations) to be used in crime related purposes. For instance, we have the recent case where a private conversation between a mother and a daughter was spied and used as a proof that she had an abortion (which had recently made illegal). And I'm not even American. Is there a way to use that information in a totally anonymous way, and making sure that the company does not store a copy of the data you uploaded? DNA is the most private thing we have, and I think we have to be very very careful with whom has access to it.

    Always encourage people to be sure to read any site's user agreement. There are some companies in some places that may make your data available to others, such as a government, without your permission. Also, I am a fierce critic of what I call _identity shopping_ , and the idea of "ethnicity" as so many companies call their algorithm output. Identity shopping is the desire of people to feel they need to be identified as _such and such_ for some other purpose than actual family history. Third party sites for DNA upload can help one with research on one's family history. But finding matches is often not what people desire, as they seek identities.

Keep in mind, it's not an app, it's a website. Add the site to your homescreen if you plan to view it frequently. They update their database as more and more dig sites get genotyped

What I was even happier to see is that some of the smaller dna amount results were added (they weren’t added in with the other three major company’s dna test results) and I needed proof of a certain dna connection in order to make sense of some Family connections. I’m still learning how the site works but I was up all night reading all the cool information that initially popped up. I want to try some of the other sites you mentioned as well! I was hesitant about dna tests in general but I’ve come to the realization that governments either probably already have my dna or can get it very easily as many times as I’m hospitalized lol.

    What’s your deep dive? On Mytrueancestry, civilization breakdown are just groups that share your overall makeup, meaning it’s useful for deciphering the populations your ancestors fell into. Whereas deep dive gives you your exact ancestor, which is more conclusive. As well as deep dive is a measure of which ancestor effects your snps, in which, snps effect things such as your phenotypes (what you look like) and your health. Which can show different results than your civilization breakdown. Mine, for example, my civilization breakdown is very British Isles Celtic,but my direct effect and snps are very heavily Scandinavian. Which with the York Gladiator sample, we know that Scandinavian dna found it’s way into the isles a couple of hundred years, before the Anglo-Saxon migration and around five hundred years before the Viking Age

    I first did an ancestry test on MyHeritage and after I recieved my results are was partly surprised as I expected most of it. I later found out on google that you could upload the raw data from MyHeritage to another platform. MyTrueAncestry sounded very interesting because it compares your data with that from archaeological digs and can tell what groups your ancestors belonged to. That goes into a little more detail. My 3 largest groups on MyHeritage were Balkans at 50%, then Balts & Eastern Europeans at around 30%, and then "West Asians" at around 13%. Roughly speaking, the result on MyTrueAncestry: - about 26% "Illyrians" - approx. 40% "Celtic-Germanic" (mainly Ostrogoths, Gepids, Scordisci, Gauls...) - Rest Scythians & Slavs for the most part My parents are both ethnic Serbs from Bosnia and Serbia respectively. The result (especially MyTrueAncestry) makes a lot of sense in my opinion since most of the peoples mentioned above once lived or still live in the Balkans. I am more than satisfied with this result.

Of all the videos you've done on DNA kits, what would you recommend?

I’m planning on running it through Promethease for further comparison.

    The thing with DNA matching: it absolutely cannot be used to frame you for a crime. That’s just…not how it works. They can’t download information about your DNA, and if they could, they could not use it to manufacture DNA evidence on a person or an object related to a crime. Now if you, or a relative, commit a crime with DNA evidence, and your DNA doesn’t already exist in CODIS, a genetic genealogist might be asked to use DNA related to a crime to try to find the perpetrator. The criminal DNA when uploaded would return a number of matches; the public trees of those matches can be effectively reverse engineered to determine one or more people LIKELY to be the suspect. The police then check public records and criminal case files to narrow down the suspect. Then they try to get a sample of the suspect’s DNA-that’s when you get the stories of napkins or disposable cups used by the suspect being retrieved from the garbage. That’s tested against the DNA from the crime scene. If it’s a match, the police get a warrant. You are not culpable for the crime. You are not directly impacted by your relative’s crime, unless you have a personal relationship. You may never even know. But you’ve helped bring a criminal to justice. A similar process can be used to identify cold case victims with no identification. The recent identification of the Somerville Man is a good example. You might help give a victim back their name, and give their family closure on a long-missing relative.

They had converted their facilities to do COVID PCR tests for almost two years (with the nagging question if they had also gathered DNA data in secret while doing the PCRs...).

    I love genealogy, and I prefer to do it the old fashioned way, not DNA testing. I've been able to trace one line of my family back to the Magna Carta, they were there making bad ol King John sign it, lol! One guy, the OG ancestor who came to America in 1609 came here, built a business, had kids, then later in his life he left everyone and went to the islands, lol! I love doing it this way because I get to meet more kinfolk, and am finding out that we are truly all connected. See, that's why I am pro peace, because all wars are are fights between different members of the family, the human family. We might be different ethnicities, but we are the same race, otherwise we wouldn't be able to breed together, which we do. My passion is history and anthropology, archeology too, and if history has taught us as one species, homo sapiens sapiens, anything is that we have GOT to evolve, especially in the mind, and stop this insanity. That's what war is, insanity, as I was taught in AA, what is the definition of insanity? Doing the same damn thing over and over expecting a different result. I may not do anything that would be defined as important in my life as far as man sees it, but I consider my kids and my work to contribute to saving this branch of the family history to be worthy enough.

    1. Each company uses a slightly to somewhat different "chip" with their own criteria and model so values between testing sites will always vary. 2. Within each company they evaluate new findings, develop new models and update on a fairly regular basis. There can be very big changes when updates are implemented and that's always good. It means the estimates (and they're always going to be estimates) are getting better based on current knowledge. 3. That knowledge can always go out the window or radically transformed based on new findings and this is a very young industry using very recent information from very recently developed areas of study. Using DNA to study migration patterns and individuals from burials a thousand or much longer ago is new! 4. Look forward to new updates. They're all good
