Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Analysing DNA results
« on: Tuesday 13 April 10 11:21 BST (UK) »
I used DNA testing as a long shot means of finding close relatives.
I have 67 markers tested by Genebase..I have also posted the results onto Ysearch.....
Of my 6 closest 'matches' on Genebase four were named McCracken... 40/42 markers matched ...39/42..etc
I also Have two 19/20 matches, one a Muir and the other a Buchanan.
On Ysearch I compared my results against all McCrackens (27 in all)... 8 of them resulted in a match with only one difference over tests ranging from 12 to 27 markers. Of these 8 the only difference arose on 5 individuals with marker GATA H4.
On Genebase my readings on GATA A10 was different to all the McCrackens.
When you compare results does it matter which markers are different...in other words do particular markers represent specific areas of mutation ..Do certain markers have to be the same for there to be close relative??
