Hello, thought I would attempt to upload my results to another site.. eeek

So chose my Heritage -

My Ancestry results were not what I expected... but saying that I really didnt know what to expect.

Yes they cleared up the major niggle I had.. because they prove I am who I am... which is good.

So now we will see what this one throws up..

I have added a direct line (both sides) small tree..

Nervously awaiting any communication from that now.

Fingers crossed.  If all negative then I will get back to doing things without the DNA results.

Cos it really has slowed down my normal research all this segmenting and stuff. :) :)

I hope you get some useful results - or meet up with other researchers who can swap ideas/information with you.

You are right about it being a distraction!! I wish some sites had better ways of grouping the matches.

Yes  thats it all uploaded -- so now just wait and see ...

eek

I too wish you could group them better on Ancestry, I am throwing out so many so called matches.

may regret it.

I haven't got enough living years left to go through all of them.. ha ha ha.

I'm a novice at this whole DNA ancestry thing too.

I'm just embarking on chromosome browsing......it's something I'm having to approach very slowly

When I start to get swamped I remind myself that the scientists who are researching this very specialized field have been studying it a great deal longer than me, it's a very new discipline to the general public and I'm only ever going to comprehend it at the most basic level.

I read/watch the various tutorials and hope that some of it will sink in ;D :D
Davis - Berkshire & London
Sutcliffe - Yorkshire & London
Harrington - Ireland and London
Fuller - Cambridgeshire and Essex
Waldron/Waldren - Devon & London
Frisby and Lee - Leicestershire
Hollingsworth - Essex
Williams - Ireland? and London
Ellis, Reed & Temple - London
Lane - ?
Surplice/Surplus - Cambridgeshire
Elwood - Cambridgeshire

Thanks Jill

looks like you have an extra chromosone or two that creates duplications :)  ha ha ha

Well well well


suddenly I am 100%  ENGLISH

for goodness sake

The Ethnicity thing is a total waste then one site telling you one thing and the other nothing like it...

So there you go.. I am happy to be ENGLISH cos I knew I was.. 7 - 10 gens via paper trail..

and breathe...

My niece asked me this question last weekend, and I don't know the answer!

If two identical twin men marry two identical twin women, surely their children will have exactly the same DNA make up?

I don't even know if identical twins have identical DNA? If they do, maybe my niece is right?

I bet its more complicated than that!!  ;D
HELP!!!

BIB - No. You only inherit 50% of your DNA from each parent and what you inherit is random. Therefore the chances of the 50% male parent 1 passes onto to his child being the same as the 50% male parent 2 passes on to his child being the same is minutely small (if not impossibly small) and similarly with the two mothers.
James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

Yes, I follow that - I think!

What about identical twins? Do they have the same DNA make up?
