I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, I lived there through the 1950's and 1960's, my first cousin Bob Church III introduced me to genealogy about 2010, thank you Bob. Today genealogy has become a hobby for me and I find it both challenging and rewarding with a plot that twists and turns in so many different directions. Now with some assistance from DNA research we can be assured we are on the right track. [1]
DNA testing at 23 and Me has classified me as being in:
Paternal Haplogroup: R-CTS4188
Maternal Haplogroup: J1c2b5
The majority of my recent ancestors are 98.2% British and Irish, 1% Scandinavian.
Y-111 DNA at Family Tree DNA, Haplogroup R-M269, Kit #: B543744
Y-700 DNA at Family Tree DNA, Haplogroup R-FTD32647, Kit #: B543744
mt DNA at Family Tree DNA, Haplogroup J1c2b5, Kit #: B543744
Looking to compare your au DNA samples to mine:
On 23 and Me: George Church
On Family Tree DNA Kit #: B543744
On GedMatch Kit #: YC4370774 and NH4098205
DNA Confirmation Paternal relationship is confirmed by a 23andMe test match between George A Church Jr and Paul Maina as third cousins.
Predicted relationship from 23andMe: Second to Third Cousin, based on sharing 89 cM across 7 segments.
DNA Confirmation Maternal relationship is confirmed by a Family Tree DNA Family Finder test match between Brian Ward and George A Church Jr as third cousins.
Predicted relationship from FTDNA: 2nd Cousin - 4th Cousin based on sharing 105 cM, longest segments 18.
DNA Confirmation Paternal and maternal relationships are confirmed by a GEDmatch test match between Kathleen Meehan GEDmatch JD8333258 and her half first cousin George A Church Jr GEDmatch YC4370774.
Their most-recent common ancestor is their grandfather Thomas Patrick Meehan with both Kathleen and George having the same grandfather and different grandmothers.
