I had a response as a follow-up on a Blog I wrote about Martha and her family<\/a>. Martha mentioned Mandy who also descended from her great great grandmother Jane Upshall . Mandy is on AncestryDNA, Gedmatch and has an Ancestry Tree. That is a combination for making things easy for me to look at.<\/p>\n

Mandy’s Third Great Grandmother – Jane Upshall<\/h2>\n

This is what I find from Mandy’s paternal grandfather’s line:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That means that Mandy is one generation further away from the Upshall connection than Martha. Here is how the connection looks from the Upshall standpoint:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hey, how did my Garmin get in there? By this, Mandy would be 2nd cousin three times removed to Esther. But I need to go through Joan and Elaine, because Mandy is also related in other ways to Esther. This relation is by the Kirby and Emberley Lines (and possibly others). Joan and Elaine are not descended from Esther’s maternal side, so that will eliminate as far as possible the non-Upshall DNA matches.<\/p>\n

Mandy’s DNA<\/h2>\n

It turns out that Elaine is not on Mandy’s match list. However, Mandy does match Joan, Martha’s Aunt and my wife in that order on Chromosome 17.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That’s interesting becuase Joan and my wife got some Upshall DNA that Elaine and her 1\/2 Aunt Esther did not. M.B., Mandy and Joan form a Triangulation Group. Here is how the Triangulation Group (TG) looks like:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here Mandy is 1st cousin twice removed to M.B. and 3rd cousin twice removed to Joan. I don’t show my wife, Marie. They would be 4th cousins once removed. In order to be sure this is a TG, I had to make sure that Joan and M.B. match by DNA. They do.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As I mentioned, Mandy and Joan are 3rd cousins twice removed. That would be equivalent to 4th cousins. They have better than 50% chance of matching. That would explain why Mandy and Elaine didn’t match. Another reason could be the Upshall Chart I have above. I don’t really know if it’s right. It’s a trial chart. And even if it was right, we don’t know Peter’s wife – or if he had the same wife for both potential children of Peter Upshall.<\/p>\n

Upshall TG Summary<\/h3>\n

Based on three Blogs, here is a summary of the TGs I have found so far that appear to hark back to an Upshall ancestor:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Due to Mandy being further out as a relative, she gets only one TG. Bob is in there due to a previous Blog I wrote<\/a>. His results were inconclusive.<\/p>\n

Mapping Chromosome 17<\/h2>\n

If I want to use this information, I could try to visually map Elaine and Joan’s DNA on Chromossome 17. Here is the chromosome browser showing how Joan and Elaine match each other.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It turns out that the crossovers were a little difficult to figure out. I wasn’t sure if there were crossovers at 13.3 and 13.8M or not. A crossover is where you have DNA on your chromosome from one of your grandparents and it crosses over to another grandparent, Mandy and M.B.’s Upshall\u00a0 match is on the right of the Chromosome where I have a large segment shown:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next, I look for more places where Esther matches Elaine and Joan:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are two long matches. This shows that Joan has a maternal crossover at 30M and Elaine has a maternal crossover at 39M.<\/p>\n

A Paternal Match is Needed: Melissa<\/h3>\n

Melissa is the best paternal match for Joan and Elaine. She matches Elaine and Joan with a common Ellis ancestor:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Melissa’s match translates to these blue Ellis segments for Joan and Elaine:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This tells me a few things:<\/p>\n
