It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Kay or other carriers of her ancestors' mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
  • Kay (Johnson) Wilson: Family Tree DNA mtDNA Test Full Sequence, haplogroup H10e, FTDNA kit #95490
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Kay:

Hi Kay,

Since you have been so strict with my profiles ;-)..............I see that you have your parents marked as DNA-confirmed based on a match with your sister. This match only confirms that you share the same parents but not necessarily both these parents. Your parents can only be marked as confirmed based on a test match between you/your sister and your parents. However, I do see you have more confirmations higher up in the tree. I like to advise you to copy them to the child's profile because they do confirm the DNA trail. I have many examples were the father did not supply the DNA. Had to tell my father and uncle a few years ago that their stepfather was their biological one. Them being 100% brothers, did not confirm the official father.

Hi Kay, You corrected the DNA match information on my ancestors recently. You changed maternal to paternal and maternal. The match was from a MT test. Does that confirm the paternal ancestry as well? Beth

Johnson-18438 Kay (Johnson) Wilson
Hi Beth, Are you talking about the change I made on the profile of Amanda Jane Canterbury-456? You're correct, that if the match is from an mtDNA test, only the maternal relationship can be confirmed. But the DNA confirmation statement on her profile refers to a match on GEDmatch between you and your 3rd cousin. GEDmatch can only be used with autosomal DNA, but not mtDNA. Amanda Jane's parents are the MRCAs for your match with your cousin, and it is appropriate to mark her relationship to both of them 'confirmed with DNA'. If you still have questions, please let me know.

Thanks for the updates on the DNA confirmations. I started that work a while ago and forgot to go back with the revised guidelines concerning third cousins versus third cousins once removed. I've been making headway on DNA Painter and Chromosome mapping for Triangulation confirmations.

Hello Kay!

Thank you for helping me merge my grandfather's profile. As time goes by and the more I visit where he lived with my newly married grandmother, I feel so much closer and really have a need for the file to reflect my love of him.

Ross-16829 Andrew Ross
Thanks Kay for the merge proposal of Martha Barnes.

It appears we are 8th cousins twice removed thru: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Barnes-775 I checked GEDMatch and found that you match my Dad with about 7.3cM on Chromosome 18 and lesser amounts on 5 other Chromosomes. My father also matches at a very low level with Waugh Smith GEDmatch, who is listed on Barnes-775.

Thanks for your merger suggestions. When I was entering my ancestors some of them did pop up and I accepted them. I didn’t realize there was another method. Thank you.
posted by Terry Neal
Johnson-18438 Kay (Johnson) Wilson
Terry, When the profiles "did pop up" I'm afraid you mis-read the instructions. The box you checked indicated that the profile was NOT a match, and by checking that box you rejected the match and created a new profile.

Thank you for your help with my tree. I am learning slowly but surely. I do not have very much time to work on my tree just a few minutes here and there. I appreciate any and all suggestions and tips. I will be adding some more of what you suggested just as quickly as I can.

Hi Wayne, That's great that you've found the time to add profiles for more of your ancestors! I strongly encourage you to enter birth and death locations when you create a profile. If you don't know the exact city, a county, or even the name of the state can be extremely helpful. Let me know if I can help. Thanks!

Kay, you understandably posted a comment on many of my profiles a statment sayin I needed to add a statement explaining how DNA was used. I am trying to correct those. But I do not understand what is wrong with the one on https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Little-3775/

Please clarify.

Wheeler-13722 Kristina Wheeler
Thanks for the comment in the DNA. Sorry about the miss I'll get the other one removed this weekend and rework it when I have time and headspace to focus on DNA. Out if curiosity is there a tool In the works or exists in wikitree where you can put the info in of the three matches to confirm they count for seperate enough lines ? Keats thought it would be neat then it could auto fill in the confirmed as appropriate..
posted by Kristina Wheeler
Johnson-18438 Kay (Johnson) Wilson
Before you use triangulation for DNA confirmation, if two people are 3C or closer and share a MRCA, just use the regular method of DNA confirmation, using those two tests. If the relationship is >3C, then you need to look for one more distant cousin match to the same MRCA who shares the same >7.0 cM segment on the same chromosome. If you're using GEDmatch, compare the three GEDmatch IDs, using the 3D Chromosome Browser tool. At the very top of the resulting page, there's an indication of how much DNA the test takers share with one another. At the bottom of the page you can find the shared segment data, by chromosome. It doesn't auto fill the DNA confirmation statement, but provides all the information you need to write the statement yourself. If all three of the test takers don't have visible profiles on WikiTree, it's a good idea to name the MRCAs of the three, and how they're related.

does it really matter about du[licates?

Johnson-18438 Kay (Johnson) Wilson
Yes, Elizabeth, it really does matter about duplicates. Please re-read the Honor Code that you signed on 23 April 2020: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Honor_Code The first item says we collaborate. Click on the link to "same ancestor profiles" which takes you to this page https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Collaboration and look at item #2: Collaboration means "one profile for every individual". "Every person who ever lived should have one and only one profile on WikiTree. If a duplicate profile has been created unintentionally we merge them."

McNally-122 Dave McNally
Can you explain to me why "References" are being moved under "Sources"? References are not sources. They are footnotes. It clutters up the sources and makes reading very awkward if not down right difficult, especially when there are a lot of references. When I first joined seven years ago they were classed correctly. The reason I ask is every time any one of the team leaders or group leaders edits one of the profiles on my watch list they always move the references up to the first thing under sources. It seems to be a formatting rule. Until a year or so ago there was always a "= Footnotes =" section.

Kay, Thanks for your help...I am having problems trying to get Ellen Florida Wilder Whitlock to show on her husband's family tree page...I suppose I need to move her family to the same page, but I have the Whitlocks and the Wilders on separate pages, and Florida's profile is a Wilder +#, and not a Whitlock. Is there any to fix this? I'd just as soon delete pages, and start over. Kathy Wingate

I merged George Randolph Joseph Maule (Maule-273) and Joseph Randolph Anthony Maule (Maule-264) as you suggested, but I have no idea what it should really look like. If you do, please clean it up.
posted by Chris Garrigues
Johnson-18438 Kay (Johnson) Wilson
Hi Chris, Thanks for completing the merge. I can't clean it up for you because of the privacy level on the profile (private with public biography). I can see that when you completed the merge you kept everything from each of the two profiles, so that half of everything in the biography should be removed just because it's duplicate information. What is in the biography is from a gedcom you imported in 2017. It would probably be a good idea for you to re-write it in a more user-friendly format. Unfortunately gedcom imports don't create very readable biographies.
