My current autosomal matching results at AncestryDNA, 23andMe and Family Tree DNA (FTDNA)

My current test stats:

AncestryDNA

  • 298 pages of matches with 50 people per page for approximately 14,900 persons. Only two given as 2nd cousins. Neither one confirmed yet. No family tree and one private.
  • 6 pages of Hints. I have gone through 4 pages checking the pedigree links. Waiting for a known 2nd cousin's results.

23andMe

  • 2879 matches.
  • approximately 380 sharing genomes
  • approximately 30 relationships found in pedigrees.
  • 3 known first cousins. Matching range from 17.9% to 15.9 to 12.5% 42, 42, 35 segments.
  • 1 known second cousin, 3.10%, 13 segments.
  • 2 known third cousins, 3.05% and 1.49%, 13 and 4 segments.
  • 5 known third cousins once removed. Range is 2.45%, 1.32, 1.26, 0.78, 0.52 and 11, 4, 6, 3, 3 segments.
  • Some of these are related through both of my parents.
  • Waiting for a half-first cousin's results to get my paternal grandmother's mtDNA haplogroup and find out if one of her maternal ancestors was Native American.

FTDNA

  • 113 pages at 10 people per page for approximately 1130 FF matches.
  • Closest unknown match is predicted 2-4th cousin. 73 cM.
  • 10 X matches 2 males and 8 females. Relationships not found.
  • 15 Know relationships.

My 2nd cousin's 23andMe Countries of Ancestry graphic is much more complete than mine at 5cM and 1+ ancestor including Colonials.

Big failure at all services:

  • No or incomplete family tree. This should at least cover the Great Grandparents and better, the Great Great Grandparents.
  • Let us know if you are adopted so we can help you.
  • Check setting to be sure Private is only applied to living persons.
  • No dates or locations given makes it hard to match a person.
  • If at 23andMe, include info on Rootsweb or Ancestry tree or GEDMATCH in your Profile.
  • Response rate is low at all services.

Hi, when you say 298 pages of matches and 113 pages of matches is each page for one, ten or one hundred matches ??

Ed:

Thanks for your question.

At AncestryDNA, a page equals 50 people. Approximately 14,900 people.

At FTDNA, a page equals 10 people.
Approximately 1130 people.

I'll edit the post.

Regards,

Steven
