My daughter used 23andMe for her DNA test. She wants to try the Ansestry DNA test too, so we can compare the results. I'm excited to see the comparison.
Hi Connie. Great video, as usual. I like to use a split-screen when comparing 2 different trees rather than clicking back and forth. It can be a little difficult when trees are large but give it a try.
That was a very informative video, thank you. I will be doing my DNA with ancestry again in the new year (I only had haplogroup & migration information from 2012's Ancestry DNA test) and already know a few cousins who have done it through Ancestry DNA.
What is the takeaway that I get from this video? That I Really want to watch the other 23 videos in this playlist, want to pay extra attention, taking notes and stop in the interim sometimes, to go study my own tree and it's matches. I have taken the Ancestry DNA test a year ago and relatively speaking haven't done anything with it. Now, I have the 23 And Me test results pending. I want to make the best use of both of them.
Hi Darlene. What this video next. It will help you a lot on Ancestry. It's called AncestryDNA Cousin Matches ua-cam.com/video/vm9WRkyaE14/v-deo.html Depending on what you're trying to accomplish will determine how best to use DNA. Watch this one video, I bet it starts to make sense. You can use the same technique on any service. I hope that helps.
Check out your ‘shared ancestor hints’ , you have 2 branches of your tree that match up. That’s why you are DNA third cousins, you are probably sixth cousins in two different places.
Ancestry has upgraded their software since that episode but the concept hasn’t changed. Look for my episodes called Cousin Matches. They are more current.
I wholeheartedly agree with not taking other peoples' trees as gospel, no matter how many have the same information. I see the same error across all trees for one of my close relatives. His death date is wrong...
I have the same problem. Multiple other trees with a death date that is actually the person's son. Too many people to contact individually but no way to do a group email. I usually put a comment on their tree but I don't think many people are aware of the comment feature.
Hi! Thanks for detailed video! I'm curious as to the 6th cousin 1x removed, in the tree, that you were seeing as a DNA 3rd cousin...what is your take on that? I'm thinking that the DNA is more correct than the tree.
+decko cards yes the DNA is correct. DNA doesn’t lie. I’ve since gone back and looked at that and I believe my guess that the Davis in my cousins line is also the missing father of Henry HENLEY. Now I need to try and prove my theory and also disprove my theory. One will provide the answer.
@@GenealogyTV Did you see the arrows to the left and right of your common ancestor. I believe you have more than one common ancestor. I kept waiting for you to click on the arrow to show the additional common ancestor you have with her.
One tree. I do have other trees for other people (clients) I work with. Sometimes if I’m working a specific problem I’ll have a separate private tree while I experiment with a hypothesis.
Click on Ethnicity Estimates, click on a region. When you do there should be a timeline show up on the right side. Click on one of the years in the timeline. See if that works to answer your question.
@@GenealogyTV Thanks for the help but it doesn't seem to work :( . When I click on Ethnicity Estimates, for example, it shows my ethnic breakdown (e.g. Germanic Europe ); if I highlight that area on the map, and click that region, on the right, it just describes the region with the option of clicking "view history of region" option. No timeline :(.... Conversely, if I click the region on the list, same thing shows up. No timeline :(
@@mydreamquest The timeline I see is between the regional information... but is actually on right side of the map, not in the description. and the migration only shows when you click on a year in the timeline. I do know that some newer users have a slightly different view/experience... or in other parts of the world have a different dashboard for parts of the Ancestry website. Sorry... I wish I could help more.
This video is likely more what you're looking for. It's all about cousin matches and a much more recent episode. ua-cam.com/video/vm9WRkyaE14/v-deo.html
When I see someone with thousands of people in their tree I have to admit I am suspicious if they just copied stuff from others never researching each person themselves.
Your description of DNA Circles is great! I now have a much better understanding of how to use them. Many thanks for your clear and excellent videos.
Unfortunately DNA circles went away but through lines replaced it which is much better.
@@GenealogyTV Oh....You can tell I haven't done anything with DNA except take a test. Too busy trying to clean up my messy start.

This popped up perfectly on my feed!!! I am expecting mine any day!!!
Excellent. I hope you found some interesting stuff.
Thank you very much from my whife and me. We are new on My Heritage
Thank you so much, you have opened some new windows for me to discover.
Love your info!

Smart idea.
Hey, I live in Huntington, WV. Lol. Thanks for the help. :-)
This is a great video! Thank you very much.
Ah thanks!
Thanks for the info, it was very useful 🙋🏽♀️👍🏽

I have Mary Pierce and Phineas Nixon in my tree too. I am distantly related (I think) to Mary Pierce.
+John Etie well hello cuz.
When I click on my DNA Matches, the screen doesn't look anything like yours. And I don't have "buckets".

How can Link my dna to my tree
Here is a video Ancestry did (assuming you're talking about Ancestry). ua-cam.com/video/sDcfiOe5swc/v-deo.html
HI! I don't have the regional feature. When I click DNA it shows the overall geography but not the migration part. How did you get to that???
Click on Ethnicity Estimates, click on a region. When you do there should be a timeline show up on the right side. Click on one of the years in the timeline. See if that works to answer your question.

@@GenealogyTV I recently had my DNA done and many of these features are not available either
Why so convoluted? simply how to match up cousins to figure out remainder of family.

I hear you. Sometimes I think some think it is a race to the most ancestors.
