We had 2 males tested with FamilyTree DNA Y only and found 1st male at 37 marker at a distance of 0 and the 2nd male at 67 marker at a distance of 1. We were all raised to believe that our last name was Barntd/Barndt and have put 20 plus years and 5 people at various times researching and the DNA showed no Barntd's except from my Gr Gr Grandfather down through. I called FamilyTree DNA and they said that the common ancestor was within 4 generations. My gr gr grandfather Barntd was born in 1815. We figure that our gr gr grandfather is the fourth generation from the 2 males tested. The information on Daniel is limited at best and I have to rely on what has already been published. You are the first that I have seen that has made many proven connections. My gr gr grandfather stated in a census record that his mother was born in New Jersey and his Father Virginia. Now that I know about Daniel,I think he may have had it reversed.I am basically at a loss at this stage of the research and feel like I am starting over. Anything that you can share or a direction would be much appreciated. Thank You and I assume we are some sort of cousins.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18358903217621814289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-44011370166318497162019-02-24T18:57:13.767-05:002019-02-24T18:57:13.767-05:00I enjoyed having my DNA analyzed.

I share about half of his DNA, which makes sense. Ancestry matched me with two second cousins I knew and one I did not. It turns out she moved to Florida when we were both very young. They matched me with two second cousins once removed. Then there are a pile of fourth and further cousins. I haven't managed to figured out how we are related yet.<br /><br />Unfortunately, my father's parents were born and died in Greece, so there is no information about them.Paul C.

It performs a clustering on the shared matches profiles. Here is an example: https://www.geneticaffairs.com/auto_cluster/examples/autocluster_40cM-400cM.html Usually, it performs this analysis in a matter of minutes.<br />EJ Blomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02389077367109603840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-46125716096582425592019-01-08T12:08:47.062-05:002019-01-08T12:08:47.062-05:00Genealogy is becoming interesting and could spook ...Genealogy is becoming interesting and could spook potential criminals<br /><br /><br /><br />https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/.premium.MAGAZINE-to-solve-cold-cases-all-it-takes-is-dna-a-genealogy-site-and-high-speed-internet-1.6657176<br /><br />https://www.gedmatch.com/login1.php<br /><br />Tom Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829281784362177069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-88928714811551888682019-01-08T07:38:21.389-05:002019-01-08T07:38:21.389-05:00https://www.livescience.com/63997-dna-ancestry-tes...https://www.livescience.com/63997-dna-ancestry-test-results-explained.htmlTom Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829281784362177069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-76630955460636764052018-12-29T09:32:12.241-05:002018-12-29T09:32:12.241-05:00Yes, I noticed.

I'm not sure what to do with that information. <br /><br />The biggest complaint that I have right now is that Ancestry only shows you the names of shared direct ancestors. I wish they would show those plus the shared names of anyone else in our trees.

But when ancestry DNA started showing I was closely related to people named "Dion", I put 2 and 2 together and figured out that her real birth name must have been Emma Dion. With more work I was definitely able to establish the relationship.Jeffrey Shallithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763971505497961430noreply@blogger.com
