My cousin Paul is an important match because he is from a generation closer to my Frazer ancestry compared to me. Here is a Theory I see at MyHeritage:<\/p>\n

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

The Theory says that Paul and Michele are 5th cousins going back to Michael Frazer born 1764 and Margaret Stewart. Here is Michele’s tree at MyHeritage:<\/p>\n

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

Here tree shows her going back to Archibald Frazer and Catherine Knott. When I expand Michele’s Tree, it goes back to where we potentially connect:<\/p>\n

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

I have a tree for Michael Frazer which has DNA matches. Here is the part with Archibald Frazer and Catherine Knott:<\/p>\n

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

Apparently, the daughter Catherine married a Petterson and then a Patton – confusing. I already have the tree down to Homer Hanham which Michele shows as her great-grandfather. My Ancestry Tree goes down as far as Rachel Patton. Here is a photo I found at Ancestry:<\/p>\n

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

Here is Rachel in the 1900 Census:<\/p>\n

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

Rachel is buried in Tecumseh, Michigan:<\/p>\n

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

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

Homer is a teacher in Toledo, Ohio in 1940. Here is Judith Ann in the 1940 Census:<\/p>\n

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

I have added Michele to my Michael Frazer DNA\/Genealogy Tree:<\/p>\n

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

Michele’s DNA<\/h2>\n

Paul and Michele share a match with my sister Sharon:<\/p>\n

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

The three share a match on Chromosome 9:<\/p>\n

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

That should represent a large chunk of DNA from either Michael Frazer or his wife, Margaret Stewart.<\/p>\n

DNA Painter<\/h3>\n

I can add that DNA to Paul’s DNA Painter profile:<\/p>\n

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

I can also ‘paint’ Sharon’s match. For some reason, she does not have the same Theory yet.<\/p>\n

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

The same problem shows where Paul and Sharon are not matching in the middle. This may be due to the centromere:<\/p>\n

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

That is the part of the chromosome shown by the arrow. I probably had Paul and Sharon’s match from a different company. Here is how Sharon and Paul match at MyHeritage:<\/p>\n

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

Note that there is a break in the DNA Painter Profile. Paul and Michele’s match ends and then the Doreen and Gladys matches start. That is where Sharon’s DNA goes from McMaster DNA to Frazer DNA. Or more specifically, from Margaret McMaster’s to George Frazer’s DNA. Doreen and Gladys are from an earlier line of Frazers. Likewise, Margaret McMaster’s ancestry goes back to Michael Frazer and Margaret Stewart. It seems unusual that such a large segment would travel down through the ages.<\/p>\n

Visual Phasing of Chromosome 9<\/h2>\n

I have done visual phasing for my siblings and myself:<\/p>\n

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

Sharon got a full paternal chromosome of Frazer on her Chromosome 9 as seen by the color Blue. My brother Jim got some, so he may match Michele also. I checked my brother Jim’s matches for Michele, but she did not come up. I checked the location of the match and it starts at about the location where my brother Jim’s Frazer DNA inheritance ends – about location 23 or so.<\/p>\n

Summary and Conclusions<\/h2>\n
