Biography

Bethany Anne Oesting's parents lived in Tacoma when she was born, but her mother chose to give birth at Swedish Hospital in Seattle because, at the time, it was the only hospital in the region that permitted fathers to be present at the birth.

DNA

Maternal Matches and Triangulation

Maternal relationship is confirmed by a 3,384 cM Family Finder match between B. Oesting and her mother H. Hollingshead.

Maternal relationship is confirmed by a triangulated group consisting of B. Oesting (GEDmatch T961388), H. Hollingshead, and J. Hollinhead (GEDmatch A940817). All three are direct descendants of common ancestor Benjamin Hollingshead (spouse unknown). They all share a 35.3 cM segment on chromosome 7 from locations 92,917,674 to 132,034,340.

Paternal Matches and Triangulation

Paternal relationship is confirmed by a 447 cM Family Finder match between B. Oesting and her first cousin once removed M. Oesting.

Paternal relationship is confirmed by a triangulated group consisting of B. Oesting GEDmatch T961388 (formerly F346608), M. Oesting GEDmatch T502012 and M. Allen GEDmatch T976432 sharing a 10.3 cM segment on chromosome 20 from locations 20,753,284 to 38,911,947. All three are direct descendants of common ancestor Thomas Winslow. The two sons of Thomas Winslow that are confirmed through this match are half-siblings, so the relationship to their respective mothers cannot (as of now) be marked "confirmed with DNA".

Paternal relationship is confirmed by a triangulated group consisting of B. Oesting (FTDNA tested), K. Coleman (FTDNA tested), and Jack David Beck (FTDNA tested). All three are direct descendants of common ancestors Johann Gottlieb Beck and Eva Marguerite Lades. They all share a 13.01 cM segment on chromosome 5 from locations 163,565,817 to 170,834,068, and an approximately 14 cM segment on chromosome 17 from locations 11,383,382 to 20,851,426.

Paternal relationship is confirmed by a triangulated group consisting of B. Oesting (FTDNA tested), Jim Cullen (FTDNA tested), and Jack David Beck (FTDNA tested). All three are direct descendants of common ancestors Johann Gottlieb Beck and Eva Marguerite Lades. They all share a 12.77 cM segment on chromosome 1 from locations 10208945 to 17218492, and a 20.44 cM segment on chromosome 4 from locations 113509494 to 139532716.

Paternal relationship is confirmed by a triangulated group consisting of B. Oesting (FTDNA tested), James Fred Beck (FTDNA tested), and Jack David Beck (FTDNA tested). All three are direct descendants of common ancestors Johann Gottlieb Beck and Eva Marguerite Lades. They all share a 19.28 cM segment on chromosome 2 from locations 69,196,653 to 97,699,722.

DNA Relationships Without Tree Match

B. Oesting (GEDmatch T961388) and (private person) (GEDmatch A987075) share a 54.6 cM segment on Chromosome 8 from locations 18,947,538 to 74,159,339. Research is being done to find the connection between the two families. H. Hollingshead (GEDMatch T543698) and (private person) (GEDmatch A987075) also share a 55.7 cM segment on Chromosome 8 from locations 18,993,237 to 75,411,455, and a 10.0 cM segment on Chromosome 12 from locations 9,856,870 to 15,124,762.

B. Oesting (GEDmatch T961388), and Maudie (Roy) Stolz (GEDMatch T507478) share a total of 38.5 cM in two segments of 20.8 and 12.1 cM on Chromosome 11 from locations 100,681,279 to 120,161,782 and 122,584,990 to 129,222,445. They are 8th cousins once removed but a closer relationship may be found, as the segment seems indicative of more of a 3rd to 4th cousin match on average, and 8th cousins are usually unlikely to share DNA. Additionally, Bethany's mother matches even more strongly (Chromosome 11 from locations 86,860,582 to 120,161,782 and 122,823,273 to 130,711,672). All are direct descendants of Colonel William Claiborne Harris II.

B. Oesting (GEDmatch T961388), H. Hollingshead (GEDMatch T543698), and Karen L (GEDmatch A442180) share a 23.5 cM segment on Chromosome 19 from locations 292,899 to 7,669,248. Research is being done to find the connection between Bethany's matrilineal family and Karen L.

B. Oesting (GEDmatch T961388) and Lillian Irene Clauder (GEDMatch M162255) share a 31 cm segment on Chromosome 8 from locations 4,265,269 to 21,449,241. Research is being done to find the connection between the two families. No matches occur with corresponding tests on Lillian's patrilineal genealogy, so the relationship between Bethany and Lillian is likely to be through Lillian's mother, Mittie Alberta Charpiot. Additionally, no chromosomal match exists between Bethany's mother's DNA and Lillian's DNA, so the relationship between Bethany and Lillian is likely to be through Bethany's father. Also in common with this match is T.P. Alcorn (FTDNA).

B. Oesting (GEDmatch T961388), H. Hollingshead (T543698), J. Hollinhead (GEDmatch A940817), and (private person) (GEDMatch A964752) all share a 23.2 cM segment on chromosome 7 from locations 92,895,539 to 121,185,410. The first three are direct descendants of common ancestor Benjamin Hollingshead (spouse unknown). It is possible that the fourth person descends from the family of the unknown spouse.
