Hello Mrs, greetings. I am a professional RU-vid channel video SEO Expert. I visited your channel and found your channel video quality very good. But I noticed that the videos view are less and the subscribers are not increasing. Then I checked the channel and saw something problem on your channel. That's why views on videos are not increasing and subscribers are not increasing. Would love to share the issues if you are interested. This will increase the channel's organic views and organic subscribers. thank you
Hi Nicole, this is a fabulous tool that I am FINALLY using! I am having difficulty in trying to track both the GD and the cMs of multiple male testers. The problem arises when I enter 0 for the cM amount with a shared match. Let me explain... WG, CP, and DA have all tested both with Ydna on FTDNA and separately on Ancestry for the autosomal. WG and CP match on both the Y and the autosomal. DA matches WG and CP ONLY only on the Y. I need to capture that there is no cM match between DA and WG and DA and CP. Capturing this helps the algorithims in both DNA Painter and Banyan. Soooo, when I enter 0 for the amount of shared between DA and either CP or WG, the formula spits out 0 GD. Which if I were not careful, would lead me to think they had a much closer GD than they do (4 between them all). How can I separate the cm calculation field from the GD field?
Great question. I would add a column for type of test - Y-DNA vs. autosomal. Then change the formula for the cM/GD column to depend on the type of test column. You can use AI to help you write a formula now, even with the free plan, so it probably won't be difficult!
This makes a lot of sense. When I take out the extraneous descendants, I can get 3 groups for my Mom. There's no one who has tested who matches her maternal grandmother, who is the only one in her extended family who emigrated from Italy. (While we're in touch w/ some of our 2nd and 3rd cousins in Italy from that line, they have less than no interest in DNA testing.)
This was very helpful! I'm going to try to apply this strategy to one of my current brick walls. I do have some people with the same surname as my subject, living in a neighboring town within the same county. I have a theory that my subject and the man in the neighboring town are brothers, but have not found a way to confirm this yet. Perhaps I need to develop a project that focuses on the FAN and his family!
This video has been the most important video for me in the last 5 years. My genealogy goes back on both sides to Joseph Smith and my tree is mostly full on most sides. However, I have 4th great grandmothers I have been stuck on. I used your ideas for segementology analysis on MH and was able to find out the people from the 1600's within some previously identified segments. It is incredible to me how well this works. And how basically, we are all carrying around these original snippets -segments within segments- from all these people 10 generations ago. It works so well for me because my tree is pretty accurate and I am able to compare it to the trees of others and fill in blanks. Because of my mostly filled-in tree, I am able to see this before others, I believe. Yes I am eliminating pile-up areas, etc.
Ancestry is using its database and large membership to take advantage of us. No chromosome browser in 2024 when virtually every other site offers it for free! Shared matches on other sites...free! Male or female haplotype on 23&Me...free! They are losing me as a loyal customer!
Thank you so much for the great video. I ended up with more than four groups, so this will be very helpful for getting back down to the four groups. Much appreciated.
I find the DNA confirmation instructions confusing. I do have matches at Ancestry, myHeritage and FTDNA. Some matches are on WikiTree. But it feels daunting going through the confirmations. All of my close matches have known relationships. So is there any benefit actually putting the DNA confirmation on WikiTree? I've been using WikiTree since 2016 but only recently got round to adding my DNA info.
While I have made discoveries using Pro-Tools, I still have not solved a 20+ year brick wall identifying my 2nd and 3rd grandfather. I'm sure I have the family because so many are on Ancestry including 2nd-3rd cousins who all have trees. They have tried to help me. This involves and NPE and I just can't figure out how my female grands (at a young age) became impregnated and were in the same area as the men in this family.
Wow your presence presentation gentle kind words. As for myself don’t see advantages of new technology non expected parent having 2-3 & distant cousins they are likely to have married been told by search angel “not possible” Australia
You might want to become familiar with where your microphone is, and how it sounds to your audience. I am nearly sea-sick from the swaying fore and aft... barely hearing you fade away and then Boom! You're facing the mic again but it won't last as you fade away. Please don't neglect to think about how you sound on a video release. Thanks!
I noticed that the child of my paternal cousin was listed as maternal to me. I believe this is due to a possible extra chromosome. The child is not downs syndrome that i am aware of.
So excited to listen to this long researched project! I have a similar ongoing question for my 2x Grandfather 's father!!! I will be reviewing your blogpost as well as listening over & over to Hopefully gleen more ideas for my project. Thanks for your encouraging news!
For the research log, I recommend you create a template that you copy and paste for each citation, changing the specifics. For a research report, you could then copy and paste those citations into the report and, after the first instance, shorten subsequent citations. You could omit much of the information. Here is a possible shortened citation based on the example in the video: Civil marriage record for Henry Burge and Kate Delany, 5 Nov 1878, Irish Genealogy.ie; GRO, Dublin South, ID 2639411, No. 32.
@@FamilyLocket that's exactly what I'm doing for the research log but was really unsure how to shorten it in citation footnotes when I have multiple people. Thank you!!!
So happy you are covering Banyan DNA! I was a Beta tester for it and am amazed at how far it has come along in the last year. Love the new Hypothesis vs. Validation calculations.
Yes, we will continue to explore new tools! The world of genetic genealogy continues to grow and we love seeing how we can use those to make new discoveries in our research.
My thought is that in the tax list where it says 'same' it's because the original owner of that land was John Cline but it is now owned by John C. Cline, same as above. So maybe no mistake there
I've been on wiki tree for years but never looked at the DNA until now. Think I will start using it especially for the pedigree collapse. How can this be? My eighth cousin and I share 62 common ancestors according to wiki tree
Wow! My heritage DNA matching plus wiki tree DNA triangulation is very powerful tool. I just broke through a DNA brick wall in half an hour with my multiple relationships problem
Thanks so much for this information. I'm excited to use ORA for citations. My question is - how can I use the citations created in ORA in RootsMagic or Ancestry? These programs have formats that I don't think allow the copy and paste of citations into them.
