Batch 487

[Pied_Noir]

I have not received any results yet - I'm the eternal optimist. My cousin was in a previous batch and she got her Family Finder results earlier than December so I had hoped to get mine a week after her - still checking and hoping.

Denise

Yeah I thought we would get our results a week after Batch 486. Oh well. Must be patient...

You guys get anything yet? Oh how I'd love to have my matches come in lol

[Pied_Noir]

Not a darn thing!

I am hopeful that we will get them by this Friday. That will put us right at the 4-week mark. Let us know when you get your matches, maybe the rest of us will at least have gotten our PF results. Lol

Is 4 weeks generally when results come in from FF? I'll be sure to let you know, you do the same if PFs come in, at least coming in here and chatting takes the edge of waiting for it to come in

Rosemary please post on the Facebook page when your matches come in.

Good Luck.

Population Finder results just came in tonight for my two kits!!

My mom's has a relatively high margin of error: 14.86% but my brother's is lower at 6.63%

Mom is 56.10% European (Orcadian, Spanish, Tuscan) and 43.9% Middle Eastern (Druze)

Brother is 82.75% Western European (French, Orcadian) and 17.25% Middle Eastern (Palestinian, Druze)

Interesting to say the least!

Hope everyone else's results are coming in as well. m

PF results are in!

Yay!!! So my mom is 90.36% French, Spanish and 9.64% Tuscan, Finnish, Orcadian, Russian, and Sardinian. Can't wait to get the raw data to send to Dr. McDonald to get more accurate results.

Hope everything got theirs too.

PF just came in for my parents kits tonight... the results don't jive with mine, maybe they will change when the rest of the data comes in.

[RosemaryFurtaw]

So happy to hear this! maybe the rest of the results will soon come in for all of us.

Population Finder

My parents both now show Population Finder results. Pretty interesting as Mom says 100% European and Dad (who is 100% German) says 83.25% Europe and 16.75% Middle Eastern or Jewish. To my knowledge we have no Jewish ancestry or Middle Eastern but still interesting.

I hadn't been looking for Population Finder so I don't know if it was there yesterday. It's fun to see something and hoping for Family Finder matches soon. I've uploaded Gedcoms in readiness.

Should I bother uploading my GEDCOM if very little family members are listed? I am adopted and only have my sisters, my brother and my mother on it.

I wondered the same thing myself since we only know about the maternal side of my mom's biological family. I went ahead and did it in hopes that it would help tease out the maternal from paternal matches.

Good luck, Rosemary! You'll have to come back and post every so often to let us know how your search is going. Seems like there are a lot of adoptees on here so it's encouraging to hear any progress.
