My DNA Results

Well I found an online DNA tool how good it is is anyone's guess, at the moment I am just fiddling about.

and on the amount of cM it calculates the predicted relationship!

Edit to say I have put in the cM for my closest and known relationships and it was pretty accurate.

It's worth noting that the number of cM shared with any particular match may come up differently on different sites. For instance, ancestry says I share 829 cM across 38 segments with my first cousin, but My Heritage says 906.2 cM across 26 segments.

So much for an exact science.

Ancestry seems to filter out segments of less than 6.0 cM. It may be that My Heritage counts everything, including tiny fragments, but calls a segment anything - say - in excess of 10 cM.

I'm mainly interested in those who only share about 4 - 10 cM, so find it frustrating that Ancestry doesn't detect matches where they may exist.

Phoenix, have you uploaded to GEDMatch?

Maggie, I'm very dubious about putting my DNA in too many places. Don't care for myself, but I know sib has reservations, which I feel I have to respect.

That is fair enough, I must admit I still have some reservations too.

I've uploaded to GEDmatch but my matches are 'research' so no one can see them. The problem I've found is that there is no way to work out how you are related except by emailing the person. While GEDCOMs can be uploaded I can't work out if a tree has been uploaded or how to view it.

Is this what you need, Toni?

I don't actually use GEDmatch, so I could be wrong.

Yes it is. Thank you very much.

It is very confusing. I entered the first kit number off Dad's list and it gives a list of roughly another 100 kit numbers. It was overwhelming and confusing and very similar to another screen I have seen before.

I've realised that half way along the top row is a GEDCOM ID so it the link to the tree. I'm thinking that the list of kit numbers must all be related to each other, maybe.
