DNA

DNA Ancestors View: http://www.wikitree.com/treewidget/Pierpont-94/89

I have been tested at both 23andMe and FamilyTreeDNA. The 23andMe test includes SNP test of yDNA, mtDNA, and auDNA. My FamilyTreeDNA test only includes 111 STRs on the yDNA.

Below, I have included a complete description of my SNP test results, along with the progression through that haplogroup tree. This is so that others can compare their haplogroup branch to my haplogroup branch. As long as we use that latest haplogroup trees, this should tell us how closely we are related (or not at all). This only works along Maternal or Paternal lines, but that may include thousands of people. This will allow us to find errors in the genealogy in WikiTree and also allow us to discover so-called "Non Paternal Events" (NPE)[1]

  • Mitochondrial DNA shared with:
Pierpont-94
Pierpont-100
Greene-1555
Covill-16

I just found your YouTube video on sources, and just wanted to thank you for the help - I was NOT aware of the sources category, nor was I aware of the link capabilities of Google's Books area - which I really NEEDED as I'm doing a study that references several books. So THANK YOU!
