Results

Thanks for all the information. I learn a lot on these forums.

They do not have a lot of common relative matches to each other at all compared to other brothers and sisters I have seen.

For FTDNA X Chromosome matching Centimorgans I got:
50.91...

I have 2 Heteroplasmies also

I have 2 Heteroplasmies for Haplogroup H10, my paternal grandmothers family from somewhere in Germany. Not much info on Haplogroup H10 either.

Hello.

I have a issue I would like some feedback on.

I manage 2 kits for 2 sisters. As far as I knew they were 100% related meaning they had the same parents. When the younger sisters Family Finder Results came in it is listing them as Half Siblings, Grandparent/ Grandchild,...

Hello

I have had a few conversations with people who are curious about DNA testing for Genealogy and the same questions come up, "How do you know the results are real?" Then they usually say something like they heard somewhere that DNA testing for Genealogy is not accurate....

Sephardic

It looks like Sephardi and Mozabite are the same thing correct?

My mother has sephardic ancestors (Thanks FTDNA) and she comes up as 22% Mozabite.

The next sale I am ordering the upgrade. I have zero info on this line. All I know is that they came from Germany. Don't know where.

Now I wait...

Thanks for all the info,

I have 2 heteroplasmies so should I even bother with the full coding region with only I only have a match on HRV1 only? Would you?

I would get the confirmed Haplogroup anyway.

Strange

Have you done the full sequence? I only did the two coding regions.

Will doing the entire coding region give more results?

New Learning Center

I think the best part of the new Learning Center is that FTDNA is being more interactive with their customers, explaining results and resolving issues.

For people new to genetic genealogy like myself this is a big plus!

My Uncles Kit

Thanks for replying and for the link.

So does heteroplasmy mean that my Grandmothers MTDNA is mutating still?

I am hoping to find out where they were from in Germany and the much older roots of where this line originated. I have zero information...

[tab1968]

I found out why I only have 1 match on my uncles MTDNA Plus. I have 2 heteroplasmies.

Do you think doing an mtDNA full sequence will bring up more results?

Also any information on what is means having 2 Heteroplasmies?

This would be my fathers mothers line...

How many matches?

Mu uncles MTDNA Plus results came in and he is haplogroup H with only one match total for HRV1 and HRV2.

How many matches did you get?

Todd

[tab1968]

The results came in for my uncles mtDNAPlus test and there is only 1 match in the entire system. Does this seem correct? The predicted haplogroup is H.

My own mtDNAPlus results came in with hundreds of matches for Haplogroup V. My uncles kit came in with only 1?

Also when...
