<\/a><\/p>\nZo\u00eb descends from Catherine Clarke and William McMaster on the right side of the tree where I am. It turns out that this is an important DNA match, as I have one DNA match on that side who is Melissa. However, she tested at Ancestry which does not show detailed DNA information like 23andMe does. Zo\u00eb\u00a0 tells me that Violet McMaster is a many times great grandmother to her, so I’ll build down her tree from there.<\/p>\n
From what I can figure out this is how we connect:<\/p>\n
So it turns out that we are third cousins, but it looks like third cousins twice removed. Our common ancestors are Thomas Clarke and Jane Spratt. When I look at my common DNA relatives with Zo\u00eb, Stephen shows up from the left side of the tree. He tested at 23andMe also. Ron from the left side of the tree shows up at MyHeritage.<\/p>\n These two are Zo\u00eb’s ancestors William McMaster and Catherine Clarke:<\/p>\n Here is my existing McMaster DNA Tree:<\/p>\n This tree is larger and needs a road map. I don’t need the left side of this tree for Zo\u00eb. The left side of the tree is for a branch of the McMaster family that ended up in Canada. The down arrow is where I need to add Zo\u00eb’s ancestor William McMaster.<\/p>\n Zo\u00eb and I are at opposite ends of this DNA McMaster tree. We appear to be 4th cousins once removed. Our common ancestors are Fanny McMaster and James McMaster. That means that I am related to Zo\u00eb by four ancestors and three out of those four ancestors are McMasters.<\/p>\n This is my DNA map of known matches:<\/p>\n This shows that I have identified 51% of the available spaces on the two copies of my chromosomes (paternal and maternal). Here is my paternal side where I match Zo\u00eb:<\/p>\n On this side I am 57% painted or identified. I’ve checked ahead and saw that Zo\u00eb adds new information to this map. That is probably because she represents a new relative on my family trees also.<\/p>\n Here is how I match Zo\u00eb at 23andMe:<\/p>\n We match on Chromosomes 3 and 17 and twice on Chromosome 7. the question now is which DNA goes with which pair of ancestors? Chances are slightly higher that I match Zo\u00eb by Clarke and McMaster than the second McMaster and McMaster relationship. It is also possible that each of the four DNA segments could represent one of our four common ancestors. The easiest way to identify all the DNA would be to create a new category on my DNA map called Clarke 1823 or Mcmaster 1829.<\/p>\n Here is how Zo\u00eb shows up on my Chromosome Map on Chromosomes 3 and 7:<\/p>\n On Chromosome 3, Zo\u00eb is a new match. On Chromosome 7, she overlaps with Ron. On Chromosome 3, my match with Zo\u00eb has no overlap with other matches. Here is my phased map of Chromosome 3:<\/p>\n This is the portion of my Chromosome I got from my Frazer grandmother shown by the red arrow above. She is the one with Clarke and McMaster ancestors. So it would make sense that I would match Zo\u00eb on the right side of the paternal copy of Chromosome 3.<\/p>\n On Chromosome 7, I match Zo\u00eb in two areas that are close to each other. The first segment overlaps with a match with Ron. Ron also has Clarke and McMaster Ancestry. It is my guess that that segment triangulates between Zo\u00eb, Ron and me:<\/p>\n Ron is also related to Zo\u00eb and me on the McMaster side, but that brings up another McMaster tree:<\/p>\n I must have planned on meeting Zo\u00eb or one of her relatives as I left a space (outlined in an orange box). Here I have added in Zo\u00eb:<\/p>\n This connection goes back 7 generations for Zo\u00eb. So while this connection is less likely than the Clarke connection, it is still a possible connection. I have a quick fix:<\/p>\n I added 1764 to the possible place that this DNA could have come from. Even that designation is not totally correct as the triangulated\u00a0 match with Ron could not be from the McMaster born in 1829. Even these designations are simplifications as the DNA could have come from the wives of these two McMasters and one Clarke.<\/p>\n Zo\u00eb’s match is interesting here:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The place where the DNA changes from Barry to Zoe appears to indicate an old crossover from Barry. A crossover is where your DNA changes from one family to another. The simple explanation woudl be that this is a crossover from the Frazer DNA I got from Barry to the Clarke DNA that I got represented from the match with Zo\u00eb.<\/p>\n Here is where that split appears in my tree (see above).
