The Upshall side is from Newfoundland and the Daley side is from Nova Scotia. That makes Aunt Elaine 1\/2 PEI ,and 1\/4 each of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.<\/p>\n<h2>Aunt Elaine at AncestryDNA &#8211; Shared Ancestor Hints<\/h2>\n<p>At Ancestry, Aunt Elaine has 84 Shared Ancestry Hints (SAHs). These are people that match by both DNA and family tree. When I say there is a match by family tree, I mean that Elaine and the match have at least one common ancestor. The first match is between Aunt Elaine and Aunt Elaine&#8217;s half Aunt Esther. Aunt Esther has Newfoundland Ancestry. When I look at shared matches between Aunt Elaine and Aunt Esther, there are three with SAH&#8217;s. They are all Newfoundland relatives, or rather relatives with shared Nefoundland ancestors.<\/p>\n<h3>PEI DNA SAHs<\/h3>\n<p>Most of Elaine&#8217;s SAH&#8217;s are from PEI. There are two reasons for that. One is that Elaine is 1\/2 from PEI. The other reason is that I have traced her Ellis ancestry quite a ways back. Also there were some pretty large Ellis familiies. Here are the results of the SAHs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>About 81 PEI Ancestors &#8211; mostly Ellis<\/li>\n<li>About 3 Newfoundland ancestors &#8211; mostly Dicks<\/li>\n<li>0 Nova Scotia (Daley) ancestors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Where Have All the Daleys Gone?<\/h2>\n<p>Elaine has 2 PEI grandparents: Ellis and Rayner. She has one Newfoundland ancestor: Upshall. Where are the DNA matches for her Nova Scotia maternal grandmother Elizabeth Daley? AncestryDNA has search functions. One is for name and the other is for birthplace. When I put in Canso, NS into the search, I get 7 people that show as 4th cousins to Elaine by DNA.<\/p>\n<p>The 1st two 4th cousin matches have ancestors in PEI. They also match others that are Elaine&#8217;s PEI matches. Elaine&#8217;s third match with a Canso ancestor is Barbara. Here is Barbara&#8217;s tree:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/RhynoldTree.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4610\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/RhynoldTree.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"744\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/RhynoldTree.png 744w, http:\/\/www.jmhartley.com\/HBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/RhynoldTree-300x204.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Note the Rhynold and Daley names that match with Elaine&#8217;s tree. Barbara&#8217;s Catherine Daley is shown as having died in Canso, NS.<\/p>\n<h2>Summary and Conclusions<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Elaine has a ton of PEI Shared Ancestor Hints- mostly Ellis. In the past, when I have looked at Elaine&#8217;s sister&#8217;s DNA results, I have found it fairly easy to identify Ellis or PEI ancestors by DNA. These results help explain why that has been relatively easy.<\/li>\n<li>Elaine has a few Shared Ancestor Hints from Newfoundland<\/li>\n<li>Elaine has no Shared Ancestor Hints on her 1\/4 Nova Scotia side. I have found a match with Barbara that has the Rhynold\/Daley\/Canso NS connection to Elaine<\/li>\n<li>When I look at Elaine&#8217;s matches at Gedmatch.com, I will be able to find out exactly where her PEI matches are (on which parts of which of Elaine&#8217;s chromosomes).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aunt Elaine has Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland Ancestry.
