Wish there was Origin Info for FF Matches

[IslaMel]

I do not know who my maternal GGF was. I suspect that he is the mysterious Iberian/SE European in my results. Having that easily "clickable" would make this so much easier--especially since so many people don't bother to put up surnames or trees.

I have a new match on GEDMATCH that does not have a GEDCOM loaded. I compared his kit to mine and I see matches on several chromosomes. He was a mystery to me. Later, he contacted my father when he saw the match because he is the son of my grandmother's cousin. Could the number of matches mean he...

Chromosome Matching on GEDMATCH

I have a question about matching more than one time on the same chromosome. What does it mean? On GEDMATCH I am finding people who appear to be related to me on several branches of my tree. Here is one example:

Most of my families were colonial. I have a few brick walls though. I am English, Scottish, Irish, Danish, Swedish, Swiss, German, French and a smear of Native American on paper. I think one of my ancestors in Nova Scotia had an English Mail Order Bride back in the day.

My 2nd, 3rd and 4th FF matches with the most shared cM do not answer my e-mails. One of them I am dying to get some info from and....nothing....Sometimes I wonder if these people are still alive.

Yay!

I got my results and a response from my inquiry about them being late. Apparently they had to re-run them. I turned out to be a I1a1a with a rare varient--T15184C. So maybe that's why??

So on paper, my maternal line is all English. I have traced it to 1560 and Lancashire England. However, my results just came back as I1a1a. Do you think I took a wrong turn somewhere with my research? So confused...

There has been no reply to my inquiry, but I got an update today.

An increased demand for our testing has caused unexpected delays. We understand your frustration in not receiving your results as anticipated. We appreciate your patience as we work...

[IslaMel]

Interesting. So what's the holdup for the rest of us? Going to ask now......

[IslaMel]

Yep. Still waiting.

[IslaMel]

Still waiting on my MtDNA (Batch 601)...I forgot to mention that on paper I am Irish, Scottish, French, English, German, Swedish, Swiss a smidgen Native American, and Danish. I don't know who my maternal great-grandfather was so I have a big question mark about some of these other results.

Tenn4ever I didn't mean to be inconsiderate. I am aware that people are waiting for batches ahead of 601. I certainly don't feel that my batch is any more important than those. This is the Grumbles and Gripes section, is it not? I thought posting the dates might help someone in the later batches...

[IslaMel]

Still waiting for my results from 601. I got my FF results back on 1/07/15. Now showing a delay with new dates of 02/11/2015 - 02/25/2015.
