I just mushed together trees I found. Eric is unsure of how he is connected to this line, so he is off to the side until we find out more. I believe that P.M. is on Ancestry but not Gedmatch.com so will not be analyzed. The others in green with first names are on Gedmatch. I use Gedmatch.com to analyze the DNA.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One important thing to note is that this chart shows that Shannon, Crystal and Ivy are all 6th cousins to each other. As such, their chances for sharing much of the Henry Dicks (b. 1774) DNA is quite small.<\/li>\n<li>G.D. aka Gordon has the best chances to match others. He is a 4th cousin once or twice removed to the other Henry Dicks Line testers.<\/li>\n<li>Also note the ancestors in pink. There are 2 Frances Dicks. They both married a Matthews. This is possible, but also looks suspicious.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This chart is from FTDNA which indicates less than 2% chance of matching for 6th cousins:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/FTDNA-Chances-of-Finding-a-Match.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-176\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/FTDNA-Chances-of-Finding-a-Match.jpg\" alt=\"FTDNA Chances of Finding a Match\" width=\"430\" height=\"119\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/FTDNA-Chances-of-Finding-a-Match.jpg 430w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/FTDNA-Chances-of-Finding-a-Match-300x83.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The chances of a 4th cousin, once removed matching should be halfway between the &gt; 10% and &gt; 50% (&gt;30%?).<\/p>\n<h4>Now All the Dicks DNA<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Henry1774Blog.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2060\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Henry1774Blog.jpg\" alt=\"henry1774blog\" width=\"987\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Henry1774Blog.jpg 987w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Henry1774Blog-300x118.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Henry1774Blog-768x302.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Above I have the everyone comparison. Actually not everyone as I don&#8217;t have Shannon&#8217;s Uncle Dennis and Larry&#8217;s father Gordon yet.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what I see:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ivy, Larry, Shannon, Crystal, and Eric in the purple rectangle are believed to be from the Henry Line from their research.<\/li>\n<li>Everyone else is from the Christopher Dicks line.<\/li>\n<li>My wife&#8217;s mom is Joan and her 1\/2 great Aunt is Esther.<\/li>\n<li>Christopher and Henry are believed to be brothers.<\/li>\n<li>The DNA tested people within the Henry Line group don&#8217;t appear to match each other at significantly higher levels than those within the Christopher Dicks group. One exception to that rule appears to be Ivy and Crystal.<\/li>\n<li>The DNA above seems to suggest that Ivy, Crystal and Eric are from the same line. On my earlier genealogy chart, Ivy and Crystal both show descent from Frances Dicks who married a Matthews. Perhaps this is one line instead of two. Perhaps Eric is also in that line.<\/li>\n<li>To the right of the purple box shows where the Henry Line Dicks descendants match with Christopher Line Dicks descendants. This could mean that the groups match at the parents of Henry and Christopher. Alternatively, it could mean that 1) The two groups match because they descend from both lines or 2) The two groups could match on another non-Dicks line. Confusing, isn&#8217;t it?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To get to an answer to the questions in the last bullet requires a closer look at the Dicks DNA.<\/p>\n<h4>Dicks DNA and Triangulation<\/h4>\n<p>Triangulation is the case where at least three people have matching DNA. The DNA must be in the same area of the same Chromosome. Also Person 1 must match person 2, person 2 must match person 3 and person 1 must match person 3 in the same area. When that happens, we say that triangulated matching DNA segment represents a common ancestor or ancestral couple. This is helpful in sorting out which Dicks descendant goes in which Dicks Line. In a place like Newfoundland where intermarriage was not unusual, triangulation can be both helpful and\/or confusing!<\/p>\n<p>To triangulate, I downloaded everyone&#8217;s match to everyone else (with the exception of Larry and Gordon for now). Those DNA matches are put in a spreadsheet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DicksMatchSpreadsheet.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2063\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DicksMatchSpreadsheet.jpg\" alt=\"dicksmatchspreadsheet\" width=\"345\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DicksMatchSpreadsheet.jpg 345w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DicksMatchSpreadsheet-184x300.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here I have highlighted the Henry Dicks Line testers in green. The way this downloads from Gedmatch, every match shows up twice: once in the name1 column and once in the name2 column.<\/p>\n<h4>A Deeper Look Into Chromosome 13<\/h4>\n<p>I picked Chromosome 13, because it appears that a lot is going on here.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DicksChr13.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2064\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DicksChr13.jpg\" alt=\"dickschr13\" width=\"345\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DicksChr13.jpg 345w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DicksChr13-300x260.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here I have sorted by Chromosome and Start Position. Right now, let&#8217;s just look at Larry, Kenneth, and Judy. It appears that there is a Triangulation Group (TG) between these 3 people. Larry matches Kenneth and Judy and Judy matches Kenneth. That is all we need and it is all at location 107M or before on Chromosome 13. That means that Larry, Judy, and Kenneth must have a common set of ancestors. But who are they? A good candidate would be Christopher Dicks. This is the Christopher who is believed to be the father of Henry. This will be difficult to show as I need to go to the bigger Dicks Chart:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TG13DicksChart.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2065\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TG13DicksChart.jpg\" alt=\"tg13dickschart\" width=\"1215\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TG13DicksChart.jpg 1215w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TG13DicksChart-300x127.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TG13DicksChart-768x326.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TG13DicksChart-1024x435.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>On the left, I circled Larry and his dad. On the right is Judy and her 2nd cousin once removed Kenneth. That means that Larry is a 6th cousin with Judy and a mere 5th cousin, once removed to Kenneth. Just to be sure, I&#8217;ll check Larry&#8217;s dad, Gordon, to see how he matches with Kenneth.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/KenGordonMatch.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2066\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/KenGordonMatch.jpg\" alt=\"kengordonmatch\" width=\"370\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/KenGordonMatch.jpg 370w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/KenGordonMatch-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 370px) 100vw, 370px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That is a good match. Gedmatch thinks that these 2 have a common ancestor close to 4 generations away. Their actual Dicks ancestor according to the Dicks genealogy chart is actually 6 generations away from each of them. Other explanations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>These 2 may have more than one set of common ancestors. That isn&#8217;t obvious from my chart, but my chart doesn&#8217;t show everything. It just focuses on the Dicks lines.<\/li>\n<li>These 2 could have a set of common ancestors that is closer to 4 generations away that isn&#8217;t obvious right now.<\/li>\n<li>These 2 may just share a lot of DNA down from the mid 1700&#8242; from Christopher Dicks and his wife.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Speaking of Larry&#8217;s father Gordon, I wrote to Larry and told him that his DNA results &#8211; at least for this Blog &#8211; would become obsolete once his father&#8217;s results were in. The reason for this is that Larry got all his DNA from his Dad and his dad would have on average twice as much Dicks DNA as Larry. Larry was fine with that.<\/p>\n<p>Now that I have this new TG, I need a place to put it. Fortunately, I have a chart of the Dicks TGs that I have discovered:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DicksTGSummRev.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2067\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DicksTGSummRev.jpg\" alt=\"dickstgsummrev\" width=\"1102\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DicksTGSummRev.jpg 1102w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DicksTGSummRev-300x134.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DicksTGSummRev-768x344.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DicksTGSummRev-1024x459.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I have the Henry Line TGs in darker green &#8211; or rather the TGs in which there were Henry Line descendants . The Christopher Dicks Line only TGs are in lighter green. Non-Dicks TGs are in pink. Marilyn is in 2 different Dicks lines, so she is in grey as it is difficult to tell which line she is in from the DNA. The TG numbers and positions are in the first 2 column. As I look at Gordon&#8217;s new TG with Judy and Kenneth, I see the only other TG that Judy and Kenneth share is with Nelson. That TG is on Chromosome 15 from 51-65M. Let&#8217;s see if Gordon matches Nelson.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/GordonNelsonMatch.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2068\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/GordonNelsonMatch.jpg\" alt=\"gordonnelsonmatch\" width=\"368\" height=\"230\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/GordonNelsonMatch.jpg 368w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/GordonNelsonMatch-300x188.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 368px) 100vw, 368px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They do match on Chromosome 15, right in the area of an existing presumed Dicks TG. But that will be the subject for a future Blog on the Henry Dicks line.<\/p>\n<h5>Back to Chromosome 13<\/h5>\n<p>What about the other matches on Chromosome 13?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DicksChr13.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2064\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DicksChr13.jpg\" alt=\"dickschr13\" width=\"345\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DicksChr13.jpg 345w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DicksChr13-300x260.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>First is Ivy and Esther. I&#8217;m not sure about this match. Esther is my wife&#8217;s 1\/2 great Aunt. That means that Esther&#8217;s father was my mother in law&#8217;s grandfather, but Esther was from a second wife after the first died in the Flu Epidemic.Esther also has Dicks ancestors from both her parents. One Dicks line has not been figured out yet.<\/p>\n<p>The next match is Joan and Esther. There is no overlap between this match and the previous. If there was, we may be able to show that the matches were for 2 different lines. This could be an Upshall match.<\/p>\n<p>Nelson and Sandra &#8211; these 2 are uncle and niece, so they will share a lot of non-Dicks DNA.<\/p>\n<h4>More on Shannon&#8217;s Uncle Dennis<\/h4>\n<p>While I was out doing an errand I see that Dennis&#8217; DNA at Gedmatch has been tokenized. I&#8217;m not sure if that is a real word, but it is a good thing. That means I can use all the features at Gedmatch now for him. Here is the revised all Dicks Matrix with Dennis at third down from the top of the list:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/MatrixRev.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2069\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/MatrixRev.jpg\" alt=\"matrixrev\" width=\"1035\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/MatrixRev.jpg 1035w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/MatrixRev-300x117.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/MatrixRev-768x300.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/MatrixRev-1024x400.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now this is interesting. Where Shannon had no DNA matches with other Henry Dicks Line testers, her Uncle Dennis does. He matches with Crytal and Eric. The larger match between Dennis and Crystal appears to confirm a common ancestor with Henry Harold Dicks b. 1811:<\/p>\n<p>If the chart is right, these 2 would be 4th cousins, once removed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DennisCrystalChart.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2070\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DennisCrystalChart.jpg\" alt=\"denniscrystalchart\" width=\"417\" height=\"542\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DennisCrystalChart.jpg 417w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DennisCrystalChart-231x300.jpg 231w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 417px) 100vw, 417px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h5>Dennis&#8217; First TG &#8211; chromosome 17<\/h5>\n<p>Here Dennis matches Wallace and Crystal.
