I am excited to announce that Eupedia is teaming up with Living DNA to launch the largest genetic ancestry project to date, which will cover most of the world's countries, regions and ethnic groups. It is called the One Family One World Project (see blog post) and it aims to initially recruit...
Hello everyone! I just got my Ancestry DNA results back and there are some interesting things I found out. My friend who is Russian took the same test so we could compare the results between myself (a Serb) and herself (a Russian). Ancestry uses autosomal SNPs as the base for population...
The new 23andMe experience, starting in 2016 and replacing the old version of other customers the early months of 2017, has been a disappointment for many veteran users. One major let down is that it is no longer possible to search for people with whom to share by location or other profile...
I was finally able to check the new Ancestry Timeline on 23andMe after my account was migrated to the new 23andMe experience.
The verdict will be brief. It is a fraud. I have a complete paper genealogy for the last 7 generations in every line, and many lines go back over 400 years. All my...
I always wanted to know for sure where my ancestors are from. First of all, I'm very skeptical and have doubts about how accurate these results really are. How much does it cost to take one of those tests, and how accurate do I need to expect them? Let's say they show me that my dna is from...
I realised that many people did not have a clear view of the percentage of European ancestry outside Europe. Goga wrongly believed that Armenians had much higher European ancestry than Indian Brahmins, when in fact Brahmins have about three times more European admixture (15% against 5%) if we...
Hi everyone!
First of all, this is my first post on this site. I should start by saying that my name is Kyla, I'm 23, and it's a pleasure meeting everyone. :rolleyes2::smile:
Anyhow, I really need help with what to make of my ancestry results. Initially, I got my DNA tested through...
Hi! I'm new in this forum, so here's my first thread.
My blood type is B (Rh positive). In theory, I should have asian ancestry, since that blood type had its origin in that region. HOWEVER, as far as I know, none of my ancestors came from Asia. I know that I descend from Europeans (Spain) and...
Is there anybody here knowledgeable with genetics and how 23andme analyses data that I could private message with, I have a sensitive issue that I don't want to discuss on the public forum.
This would be looking at genome comparisons between siblings and parents... should be quick, I think I...
Good day to everyone here!
I'm from Italian, Spanish and Portuguese ancestry and I took the family tree dna test to see if my deep roots really come from those places.
It turns out that my Y-DNA is R-M269, but as I've been learning, I can't really say from which people that came from, since it...
hey all i wanted to post my haplogroups and need some help with my haplogroup on my paternal side.
Mom's side: L3,N,R,U,U5,U5a1d
Dad's Side: M42,M168,M89,P128,M45,M207,P231,M343,L278,P310,U106 (R-U106),U198 (R-U198)
All of these are from Geno 2.0. i'm asking what my ancestry might be or my...
The first President of the United States, George Washington may well have belonged to R1b-L21>DF13. This deduction is based on the results from the Washington DNA Project where most bearers of that surname belong to various clades under DF13. The only member who claims descend from John...
This thread is dedicated to proposing new famous members of haplogroup R1b-L21 (M529) and its subclades.
So far, confirmed R1b-L21 carriers include:
- The House of Stuart (DF13 > DF41 > L744 > S781)
- James Buchanan (L1335 > CTS11722 according to the Buchanan DNA Project)
- William Ewart...
This thread is dedicated to proposing new famous members of haplogroup R1b-U152 (S28) and its subclades.
So far, confirmed R1b-U152 carriers include:
- The House of Habsburg (L2+ based on the Habsburg Family Project)
- Abraham Lincoln (probably L2+ according to the Lincoln DNA project)
Here...
This thread is dedicated to proposing new famous members of haplogroup R1b-U106 (S21) and its subclades.
So far, confirmed R1b-U106 carriers include:
- The House of Bourbon
- The House of Wettin
- James K. Polk (L48+ according to the Polk-Pollock DNA Project)
- Ulysses S. Grant (U106 > L47...
Inspired by sparkey's excellent thread Searching for famous I2 carriers, I thought it could be useful to start a thread to investigate another haplogroup that hasn't yielded so many famous individuals so far.
Confirmed I1 carriers include:
- Birger Jarl
- Alexander Hamilton
- Andrew Jackson...
According to the Gladstone DNA Project, the lineage of the famous Victorian British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone (1809-1898) belongs to R1b-L21. Indeed, his genealogy can be traced back to James Gledstanes who died in 1493 in Lanarkshire, Scotland.
Gladstone is considered by some one...
Looking into the Home/Hume DNA Project I managed to identify the ancestral lineage of the great Scottish philosopher, historian and economist David Hume (1711-1776). His genealogy shows that he is descended from Thomas Home of Home (1355-1427), and ultimately from William Dominus de Home, Laird...
I was compiling a list of common Ashkenazi Jewish surnames and their dominant Y-haplogroups when I found the Oppenheimer DNA Project. The original Oppenheimer family from the Rhineland-Palatinate appears to have belonged to Q1b. I verified the genealogy of the American theoretical physicist J...
