<\/a><\/p>\nThis is not too surprising as I have that James Henry Ellis had 13 children. I’m not sure how well George Ellis knew Eva Ellis he immigrated to the US from Prince Edward Island the year before his sister Eva was born.<\/p>\n
Virignia also uploaded her DNA to Gedmatch which means that we can see how Joan and Virginia match by DNA:<\/p>\n
They match by quite a bit.<\/p>\n I can ‘paint’ this match onto Joan’s Chromosome match using DNAPainter. This is what Joan has so far:<\/p>\n I have 30% of Joan’s DNA identified. Most of that DNA is on her maternal side which is the second bar of each chromosome eabove. Joan only has 19% painted on her paternal side:<\/p>\n Joan and Virginia have the common ancestors of James Ellis and Clarinda Gorrill, so that will bring the green DNA way up. When I add Virginia in, Joan is now 22% painted on her paternal side:<\/p>\n Overall, Joan is now 32% painted:<\/p>\n That’s a good increase. Here is the DNA passed down to Joan from George Henry Ellis and Clarinda Gorrill, as shared by four DNA 2nd cousins on Joan’s paternal chromosomes:<\/p>\n Virginia filled in some important missing gaps on Chromosomes 11, 18 and 20 as well as smaller gaps elsewhere.<\/p>\n I have a chart of Ellis DNA matches on a tree:<\/p>\n This chart is quite out of date. Joan only shows one 2nd cousin. Mariann was noted above on the DNA map. Here is Virginia added:<\/p>\n I need to add Melissa and Ronda. Here is Ronda:<\/p>\n Turns out Ronda is Virginia’s 1st cousin once removed.<\/p>\n Here is Melissa, the daughter of Mariann:<\/p>\n Melissa is at Gedmatch, so I was able to map her DNA. Her mother’s DNA is not there, but she tested at FTDNA which is where I found here DNA results. that means that Melissa’s DNA didn’t add anything new to Joan’s DNA map.<\/p>\n Melissa is also at MyHeritage. She has a shared match with Debbie. Debbie had enough of a tree at MyHeritage, that I was able to trace her line back to James Henry Ellis also:<\/p>\n This brings in one more of James Henry Ellis’ 13 children:<\/p>\n While I’m adding to Joan’s DNA map, I’ll add Debbie’s Ellis\/Gorrill DNA. Debbie brings Joan up to 25% painted on the paternal side:<\/p>\n That is a milestone. Joan is now one third painted overall:<\/p>\n Here is Debbie’s contribution in gray:<\/p>\n Debbie added significant portions of DNA on Chromosomes 1, 7 and 17. It is perhaps a bit unusual that Debbie’s match does not include any overlap with the other three Ellis\/Gorrill DNA. Altogether, James Henry Ellis and Clarinda Gorrill account for one quarter of all of Joan’s DNA or one half of all her paternal DNA.<\/p>\n Here is Joan’s DNA map – now at 33% overall:<\/p>\n The paternal side where Ellis and Gorrill are are the top bar of each chromosome. Second cousin level is an ideal level for mapping. I don’t like to map 1st cousins as they include two grandparents as common ancestors.<\/p>\n I would like to figure out how Kerri fits in at Ancestry as she is also at Gedmatch. Here is her tree:<\/p>\n I need it to get back a bit further to 1846. Kerri’s maternal side seems to favor Ireland, so I’ll take a look at her paternal side:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nDNAPainter<\/h2>\n
