McIntosh DNA

Question

My McIntosh third cousin did a 111 y DNA test and he said I could post the info. Since he is not a wiki-Writer, whose page should I put the info on? His? Most distant paternal ancestor? My grandfather? Does it matter? Thanks. [[Hall-19106|Marnie Hall]

Answer 1

His profile........and its mather A LOT

Adding the DNA to the wrong person is like you put your money on my bank account it will make a difference for me ;-)

What our friend Magnus is trying to say is create a profile for this person and his parents, etc and connect him to your tree. Then add the DNA sample to his profile. Please add as much information about the results and markers as possible. If possible have him enter it on ysearch.org and enter his ysearch.org number. Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information.

Since he tested on FTDNA he has the option to post his results directly from FTDNA to ysearch.org with the click of a button. If he does that than using his ysearch ID people can access all is 111 STR markers.

 

Aside from that he should have joined his haplogroup project and asked the administrator to predict his terminal haplogroup. If not he should do so. I would at least post his terminal haplogroup and FTDNA # as well.

 

I would post your mtDNA haplogroup and FTDNA name. I would also publish your full sequence (if it was a full sequence) with the NIH and then post your accession number. Then anyone can look up your full sequence. ISOGG has instructions for this.

 

The DNA requests will propagate all the way up the proper portions of your tree all the way back to your most distant ancestors. This takes about 24 hours to occur. But after that more distant cousins will see your results if you share a common ancestor.

 

Best to ask these types of questions on G2G.

Roland, Thanks for your answer on G2G. I have ALL of my 3rd cousin's information, including all the SNPs etc, but I don't know what I should put up at wikitree. I will ask him if he has a ysearch no, however. I just got my mtDNA done and wasn't sure how to answer one of the wiki questions when I said I had taken the test. What do we add other than we've taken the test? And how do people know there is a DNA available if they just see the page for his grandfather? Thanks. Marnie

Marnie, What you put on WikiTree is information about whatever DNA tests your cousin has taken. Everything you enter about his tests goes on his profile: On his profile, from the dropdown list under his WikiTree ID (upper right side of his page) choose 'DNA'. On the next page, choose the 'DNA Tests' button. Make sure that the page where you're entering his test information says 'DNA tests for (his name)'. Within 24 hours after you enter information about his test(s) WikiTree will display information about those test(s) on all appropriate related profiles. When people look at his grandfather's profile there will be information on that profile indicating that your 3rd cousin took a DNA test.
