I, too, have the same question as Karin T. My grandmother and I share generation index of 1.5 but I am two generations from her.

window.fd('form', { I’m female.

The number in this column means the estimated number of generations back to the common ancestor shared by you and your match. 2C1R (second cousins once removed)

I had a case just like this recently. You may discover many of your 4th and 5th cousins—and sometimes even your 8th or 10th cousins. BD – 109.0 23.6 3.5 In Tree as 5th Cousin
Hi Syvellia, I have contacted them and am awaiting a reply. Basically, it’s impossible for the number of ancestors that we have to simply keep doubling every generation. If the common ancestor lived 20 generations back, the 25-year interval would place him about the year 1500, about at the outer limit of genealogically useful records except for kings and nobles. She has made it her mission to help as many people as possible understand their DNA results and learn how to build their family tree.

Yes, you would expect it to say 2 generations but for some reason that I can’t explain, it does seem to come up as around 1.5 – a glitch in the system? This leads us to one reason why this can’t possible be true. I don’t have 33 million ancestors 25 generations ago – it’s impossible.

Genealogy & Family History Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for expert genealogists and people interested in genealogy or family history. This cousin has 3 ancestors in common with me.

That sounds about right – 2nd half cousins take you back to shared great-grandparents, around 3 generations. This is because I am descended from the eldest child of our common ancestor, but my match is descended from the youngest child, who was 25 years younger; and likewise my ancestors were the eldest of young parents, but my cousin’s parents and grandparents had children late in life, which resulted in this apparent shift of three generations even though me and my match are in the same present-day generation! Third cousins count back four generations to their great-great-grandparents. This page was last edited on 16 November 2016, at 18:35. Hi Jerry, So much to learn! Could you please let me know what 3.1 is? However is his grandfather my half brother or my Father.

This number is to be understood as a guestimate or guideline that shows roughly how far back you might start looking for your common ancestor. http://slides.com/gengenaus/deck-1-4?token=upW8cHYQ, How to download your AncestryDNA raw data But we can’t find our MCRA.

Why is the centre of mass of a semicircular wire outside the body? 2C (second cousins) Two of these matches run through this same line as my known Graves line which runs through my grandmothers, mother. What’s the benefit of keeping track of all these cousins and how they’re related to you? Knowing the generation(s) to look at would help greatly! 3C (third cousins) This happened in my own family tree, and not even ten generations ago. What do people mean when they say “fourth cousin,” or “third cousin twice removed”? In this case, you would be first cousins once removed, since there is a one-generation difference between you.

The Y-chromosome is passed along only from a father to a son because women only have X chromosomes in their 23rd pair of chromosomes. If the common ancestor was 20 generations back, so that the modern descendants are separated by 40 generational events, we could expect a mutation in each of the lines, and a two-step difference between them. Besides the VIC-20 did any other micros have fewer than 32 columns available for text mode?

Indeed! How does being half siblings effect the numbers?
We can expect a random mutation to occur at any one of the distinctive markers tested perhaps once in 500 generations. Largest segment = 72.6 cM

“Oh, that happened three generations ago.” We often reckon the passage of time by generations, especially for those indefinite periods measured by a number of successive parent-child relationships. Thanks again! I have two separate kits and show up as 1 gen to myself.

I will be subscribing to your newsletter.

But it is also what makes DNA & genealogy such a challenge and what hooks me in . We exist, of course, and we also – most definitely – have ancestors. How to register for GEDmatch Total of segments > 7 cM = 532.0 cM Is it possible we could have this high a match after so many generations? Each cousin can be numbered based on how many generations back your shared ancestors are and “removed” a given number of times, based on how many generations apart you are from each other. Imagine that you and your cousin share a relative: it’s your grandfather, but your cousin’s great-grandfather.

Half-aunt will be around 850cMs, whereas 1C1R will be about half that. We’ll begin with our 20th generation, and the 1,048,576 18th great grandparents that we would theoretically have at that point: As you can see, doubling the numbers every generation allows the number of ancestors to get really, really big – and really quickly! I have tested and two of my full siblings have tested, a first cousin has also tested and shows as first cousin to myself and my two siblings and we also have a 2nd cousin to all of us who has tested. Hiya – yes, that does seem some leeway, but it is definitely not related to gender, which has no bearing at all on autosomal DNA results.

Uncle ~ niece It’s important to remember that the further back in generations, the more factors influence the range of possible relationships. By the way, I like your website about your Irish ancestors – I have a great interest in Irish Australian history – my focus is on South Australia . Ok thank you, yes we do share a great grandfather who married twice, first to my 2nd cousins great grandmother then after her death to my great grandmother…. The technical genealogical term for this is “pedigree collapse”.

Yes, Gen 3.1 would suggest common ancestors who are great-grandparents.

Total of segments > 7 cM = 564.1 cM These results are just what I have found in my own personal DNA research. All rights reserved. Of course, it's not exact, so it would probably be 8 generations, give or take 2-3. It is also possible for the match to be a half-sibling or a first cousin. Anyway, check out http://www.dnapainter.com > Tools > “Shared cM tool v4”.

More than 134 million ancestors! Most of my Graves matches are accurate according to the chart, and I have many of them.

Incomplete transfers of y-STRs from FamilyTreeDNA to ySearch? First cousins share grandparents, counting back two generations to their shared ancestors.

2C1R (second cousins once removed), Gen 3.5 © Copyright 2005 Ancestry.com. Please feel free to contact me directly at gengenaus@gmail.com if you would like more help with this. They shared grandparents, which means that the number of ancestors that I have going back eight generations is two less than the 256 6th great-grandparents that many people have, and I can’t simply double that number to get back one generation further, since many of the ancestors are the same. These figures are reporting what I’ve found in my own personal DNA research.

Can you tell me where gen 4.6 would fall on your list?

Or it could be yourself, with 2 different kits. I have a gen 4.2 match and we can’t find the common ancestor but we know they come from an English village where many families intermarried over the centuries, which means our actual common ancestor might be 7 or 8 generations back! We are now led to the obvious question. Part of the explanation lies in the fact that my grandmother and her great-grandmother were identical twins.
