The cosmetic changes, that don't do anything at all useful, are very annoying!<br /><br />I wish that Ancestry would get on with it and provide a chromosome browser, even if we have to pay an unlock fee like with MyHeritage and FTDNA. I have 1Cs there who won't upload to GEDMatch nor will they upload their deceased parent's DNA there. Ancestry providing, if nothing else, the segment data, is the only way I'll ever know how exactly my uncle matches me. Suzanne G.

DNA in general is something that I find exciting and so my fingers just keep typing long after I should stop. :) I will try to do better about keeping it brief. Suzanne G.

With such a large data base Ancestry would truly be king of the hill if they offered this feature. They are dead set against doing so. When I started researching in 2017 I signed a petition initiated by some genetic genealogist's advocating for this feature but it didn't go anywhere. Who knows the reasoning? Now I have learned that Ancestry is upping its subscription price from $19.95 a month for its basic membership to $24.95 per month. I am sure there are price revisions to the other memberships as well. Allegedly they are supposed to be providing new features. I can do without more cosmetic fluff. I need more useful DNA analysis tools.Rohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05441657682050354436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078973036927209827.post-52532856962750506842022-01-11T09:20:08.534-05:002022-01-11T09:20:08.534-05:00Thanks for the info.

When you look at your DNA match list, you'll always see how many cMs you share. That number corresponds to one or more types of possible relationships.DiAnn Iamarino Ohamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415937464194290775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078973036927209827.post-64211663917945988842022-01-11T07:56:11.273-05:002022-01-11T07:56:11.273-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02455476544117879115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078973036927209827.post-28053930627229057872022-01-11T07:54:14.693-05:002022-01-11T07:54:14.693-05:00I'm not familiar with the term cMs. Could you...I'm not familiar with the term cMs. Could you tell me its meaning, please?

That’s great!<br /><br />I have two matches with whom I share multiple relationships. Well, that’s all I’ve found so far! :) Both are on my father’s side.<br /><br />With LL (deceased male), I have three relationships: 1C2R, 4C1R, and 3C2R. I match him at 110 cMs.<br /><br />For the 1C2R, his mother and my paternal grandfather's mother were sisters. <br /><br />For 4C1R, my paternal grandpa's patrilineal line great-grandfather and LL's patrilineal line 2nd great-grandma were siblings. <br /><br />For 3C2R, my paternal grandpa's patrilineal line great-grandmother and LL's patrilineal line great-grandmother were sisters. <br /><br />With PJ(female), I have 2 relationships 3C1R and 5C. I match her at 90 cMs.<br /><br />For 3C1R, PJ's father's maternal grandmother is the sister of my paternal grandpa's maternal grandmother.<br /><br />For 5C, our common 4th great-grands are my straight patrilineal line and for her, through her maternal grandfather.<br /><br />My 5C relationship with PJ and my 4C1R relationship with LL are through the same ancestor couple (my patrilineal 4th great-grands). They are LL’s 3rd great-grands. So, he and PJ are 4C1R also.<br /><br />Thank you for the link to the chart on ISOGG. Adding the averages listed on the Shared centiMorgan Project with LL for each relationship, I get 285cM. For PJ, I get 73cM.<br /><br />I fall quite short with LL, a difference of 175cMs, and only a 17cM difference with PJ. <br /><br />LL sorts into three columns on my Leeds, as he should. PJ only sorts into one, and that is the 3C1R relationship through her father. <br /><br />So, should that mean, then, that my shared DNA with her is only through my connection to her father, since she doesn’t sort into the columns that relate to her mother? Her mother does not appear to have been tested.<br /><br />Thanks for another great post! Have a blessed day.<br /> <br /><br />Suzanne G.
