I am working on several mtdna lines. Is there a chance there will soon be better tests for more recent ancestors? An in-law that that is very white skinned and with blue eyes came from Ireland. Oops, her DNA says she should still be in west Africa. It ends there. All I can think is someone hopped into a canoe and headed up the coast
Must have been the only one, though, because her test had NO matches! There's a story in there somewhere....
The other one is mine and we have records of both grandparents being from Norway for many generations. The DNA map (T2) shows them somewhere in France at the end. OOPS! They must have paddled their canoe, too.
I've noticed on the four lines I am working on at the moment, that the matches may have no relation to whether we were in an area. I know the instructions say that, but it makes it difficult. Of all the Norway relatives there, to look at the matches, you'd never know it. There were only two matches out of 75 HVR2.
One thing I guess I am not clear on is how many of the genes tested have to match to be a close match as in HVR2. It does seem the map should have shown a more accurate lineage at the end.
Comments on when tests for more recent ancestors will be coming?
