I was adopted by the late Heinz West at the age of 7 hence my surname changed from Basso to West. I was born in Duisburg, Germany but currently live in Singapore where I'm the Co-Founder and CEO of Numero Pte Ltd, working on the next generation of DNA Genealogy software, see Your DNA family.
I have actually forgotten when I started with genealogy but it's been more than 15 years ago for sure. Researching the life and circumstances under which my ancestors lived has not only told me much about history but keeps the memories about my ancestors alive and hopefully helps other researchers.
I did Whole Genome Sequencing and as of now my Y-Haplogroup is: E-A9723 (also named E-BY3880) with terminal SNPs: A9723 • BY19390 • BY6203 • BY6204 • BY6349 • BY6357 • BY6425 • Y47298
It was formed 4300 ybp and the TRMCA is 4100 ybp.
This goes back to Asiago in Italy where his oldest male ancestors have moved along the Balkan all the way up to Italy (not verified but most likely used that route).
H4a1a1a* with id:YF63802 (formed 1650 ybp, TMRCA 1000 ybp).
HVR1: A16129G, T16187C, C16189T, T16223C, G16230A, T16278C, C16311T, C16519T
HVR2: C146T, C152T, C195T, A247G, T310TC, C514, C522CAC
CR: A769G, A825T, A1018G, G2706A, A2758G, C2885T, A3468G, T3594C, C3992T, A4024G, G4104A, T4312C, T5004C, T7028C, G7146A, T7256C, A7521G, G8269A, T8468C, T8655C, G8701A, G9123A, C9540T, A10044G, G10398A, T10664C, A10688G, C10810T, C10873T, C10915T, A11719G, A11914G, T12705C, G13105A, G13276A, T13506C, T13650C, C14365T, T14766C
Path from H: H -> H4 -> H4a -> H4a1 -> H4a1a -> H4a1a1 -> H4a1a1a
Haplogroup H, the parent of H4, originated in the Near East and expanded throughout Europe after the peak of the Ice Age. H4 branched off approximately 12,000 years ago in the Black Sea region and then expanded into Eastern Europe, eventually making its way as far west as the British Isles.
The H4a1a1a* subclade is determined by the mutation of A73G! which is normally A (ancestral) and has mutated to G.
I'm also the author of the "Your DNA family" [see here https://www.yourDNA.family] which:
Automatically identify DNA cousins, get more and better results out of your DNA test. Solve family mysteries and overcome brick walls when paper trails end Concentrating on helping orphans, adoptees and interested genealogists in: - discovering previously unknown family members - overcoming roadblocks in their genealogy - verifying the paper trail research to their ancestors many generations back into the past - getting the most out of autosomal DNA tests including identifying which of their matches are 'identical by descent' - organising their many new DNA cousins into secure, closed groups so that they work collaboratively on identifying their common ancestor and combine their family trees
For more information about it's features and to see the app in action please check out this [video https://youtu.be/rdnb8y-y3XA]
While he continues to bring over all of his researched ancestors over here (despite having little spare time), the full information about all related and non-related people he researched can be looked up here in the meantime (this includes a large list of mostly German surnames).
Here are the profiles Andreas West is currently working on, mostly cleaning up the Gedcom left over and connecting them, putting the sources into proper footnotes. Can you help?

In the event of my untimely demise I want to be sure that none of my hard work on WikiTree ends up having to be deleted. While I fully intend to be around to manage all my profiles for the next 18752 days, in the event of my sudden death I hereby give permission for all of my private profiles to be transferred to any of my extended family members (including my former spouses and their family).
Have you taken a DNA test? If so, login to add it. If not, see our friends at Ancestry DNA.
Andreas is 28 degrees from Irving Berlin, 30 degrees from George Burns, 35 degrees from Anna Cooper, 26 degrees from Olivia Galante, 31 degrees from Pierre Louis-Dreyfus, 27 degrees from Richard Overton, 35 degrees from Susanna Ramel, 24 degrees from Marjorie Robb, 42 degrees from Paul Royle, 41 degrees from Nicholas Winton, 36 degrees from 有光 周 and 35 degrees from Steven Whitfield on our single family tree.

my ancestors are from Asiago in the Province of Vicenza and I'm very active in researching them based on the civil registry in Vicenza that is available online. However, all my progress on my own direct ancestors is here on WikiTree already, due to the limited gene pool in that mountain village and the fact that the church books were destroyed during WWI I'm working mostly on the family trees of DNA matches to identify the common ancestor (which is very difficult due to the limited gene pool and no written sources before 1870 or so).
Oh! And send me a message if you want to be a part of the Italy project Google Group and Discord server.

Thanks for your comment. I currently don’t have time to work on the German immigrants to PA project due to my main work at my DNA genealogy app.
I hope that I can add it in the future when I fits in.
Category: Italy, Basso Name Study with the beginning and end
This is part of the project reorganization and will properly categorize the name study for Italy. Thank you!
Can you just paste it here and I’ll add it?
Thanks in advance
To show your participation in the project, please add Category:German Roots Project to your profile.

Natalie, Categorization
Im Steven, coordinator of the Categorization Project. Please have a look at the revamped Categorization Project page, specifically about the new team approach. Members will be now be part of the Maintenance Team. Project Liaisons and leaders will be involved in the Vision and Collaboration team.
Please contact me within the next week to let me know if you would like to remain an active member of the project. If I dont hear back from you I will assume you no longer want to be a part of the Categorization Project.
Thanks, Steven

I will send My Heritage kit number, if that will help. I have a printout, 44.5 pages/42-43 people (kit #, name, email, Haplogroup, Autosomal & X-DNA) of matches to my DNA. Danner, Tomer, Doner, Tener are some of the major names in my Maternal line.

Can I do anything for you in return? I'm a WikiTree leader so I'm handy with categories and templates and such.
Karen
So we look for DNA now!
