Melrose DNA and One Name Study
- Project Leader: Rhonda Lucas
- Our objective is to document the Melrose's in Rhonda Lucas' tree and connect them genetically to other Melrose's worldwide.
- New Melrose DNA Project at Family Tree DNA now open for all DNA testers with the Surname Melrose in their line, please pop over and join!
- New Melrose One-Name Study Blog
- New Melrose Genealogy & Family Research Facebook Group
- At present we are using Autosomal DNA testing to confirm matches. We hope to have a yDNA direct descendant of George Melrose tested soon for comparative purposes.
- Further information on Autosomal Testing available at ISOGG - AutosomalDNA and Wikipedia
- Inheritance[1]
- Every generation gets divided by 50% when we are talking about autosomal DNA transmission.
- You inherit 50% of the DNA of each of your parents. They inherited 50% of the DNA of each of their parents, so you inherit ABOUT 25% of the DNA of each of your grandparents.
- Did you see that word, about? It’s important, because while you do inherit exactly 50% of the DNA of each parent, you don’t inherit exactly 25% of the DNA of each grandparent. You can inherit a little less or a little more from either grandparent as your parents 50% that you’re going to receive is in the mixer.
- This is also true for the 12.5% of each of your great-grandparents, and the 6.25% of each of your great-great-grandparents, and so forth, on up the line.
- The chart below shows the percentages that you share from each generation.
