Here is my father’s cousin Joyce’s ancestry:
I’m interested in Joyce’s maternal side through Annie Louisa Hartley. That is the side we connect on. I was also wondering if I could find any Hartley side X Chromosome matches. Joyce recieved an X Chromosome from her maternal and paternal side.
I only have 4% of Joyce’s DNA mapped out using DNA Painter:
I only have 2% of Joyce mapped out on the Hartley side that I am interested in:
Looking at Joyce’s X Chromosome Matches
The easiest place to look for Joyce’s X Chromosome matches is at Gedmatch:
The first match is Joyce’s match with herself. The second match is with Joyce’s first cousin. The third match won’t appear at Ancestry as the match is only on the X Chromosome. The fourth match is at FTDNA and I don’t remember Joyce’s password there. The fifth match is at Ancestry. I painted her on, but I had already painted her brother and she added no new DNA.
Joyce at MyHeritage
MyHeritage has Theories of Relativity. That is where there is a DNA match an a genealogical connection. I don’t think that I have painted Candee. Here is her ‘Theory’ at MyHeritage:
This is on my Hartley/Snell side, so that is good. Here is the new segment mapped:
The segment is near another Snell ancestor, so that tells me that the genealogy could be showing the correct DNA segment. This little segment gets Joyce up to 3% mapped on her maternal side.
James at MyHeritage
Joyce has this Theory with James:
This adds a new pair of ancestors for Joyce on her paternal side. However, I am not related to Joyce on that side.
Summary and Conclusions
- Joyce still has a lot of mapping to go
- Most of Joyce’s matches seem to be on her paternal side
- There may be more matches for Joyce at FTDNA, but I have either not uploaded her results there, or I have forgotten her password.
- Joyce has a lot of first cousin matches on her Hartley side, but I generally map only to the second cousin level.
