<\/a><\/p>\nHere are some comparisons:<\/p>\n
Virginia’s number of 4th cousins or closer and her SAHs are as of today and I did her autocluster about a month ago. I changed the upper limit for Lorraine to 600 cM because I was having trouble identifying some of the clusters. I had set the lower limit down to 12 because I was looking for distant Butler relatives.<\/p>\n Since the time I ran Virginia’s autocluster, the clusters have been arranged differently to show connections between the clusters. This has been a very helpful innovation.<\/p>\n I’ll start with a table:<\/p>\n This table starts with each of Lorraine’s clusters. That is followed by the top match name in the cluster and the amount that top match has in cMs. I just need to fill in which grandparent side each cluster belongs to and which common ancestors the cluster seems to point to,<\/p>\n These are some of the ancestors that I will pick from:<\/p>\n I am interested mostly in the top part of the tree. The bottom part is where most of the matches will be. The bottom represents the maternal French Canadian side.<\/p>\n To get the ball rolling, I’ll start with Fred. I have have been in touch with Fred who a second cousin on Lorraine’s Pouliot maternal grandparent side:<\/p>\n Turns out that is Lorraine’s largest Cluster:<\/p>\n That’s a lot of Pouliot’s. These could be all descended from a certain common ancestor along the Pouliot or Fortin Lines.<\/p>\n Sandra shows up a lot in my analyses. Here she is:<\/p>\n Sandra is also in Lorraine’s Cluster 1:<\/p>\n These are the Clusters I am more interested in.<\/p>\n Clusters 34 and 35 are the purple and tan Clusters. They show a lot of connections between those two Clusters.<\/p>\n Amanda is the first person in Cluster 34, but she has no tree. Donna is the third match in Cluster 34. Here is the paternal side of her tree:<\/p>\n Turns out Donna is a second cousin to Lorraine also:<\/p>\n The top match for Lorraine in her Cluster 35 is Barbara. Barbara has a short tree:<\/p>\n Here is Barbara in a tree with other Butlers:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n She shows up as Lorraine’s 2nd cousin. What is interesting about Cluster 35 is that it includes Butlers from Cincinnati. My guess is that they are related this way:<\/p>\n There is a branch on the left of Cincinnati Butlers headed by a George Butler born about 1826. My wife’s ancestor Edward Butler was also living in Cincinnati for a while. His first son was named George – perhaps after the Cincinnati Georg Butler. I haven’t worked out all the details yet, but the DNA is showing a definite connection.<\/p>\n Here are the bones of Lorraine’s clusters:<\/p>\n It is possible that there are 33 French Canadian Clusters and 3 Irish Clusters. I would have to look at all the clusters to be sure. However, as I scan the clusters, it looks like that could be the case. Here is my best guess:<\/p>\n That means that finding the 1\/2 Irish side among the French Canadian half, is like looking for a needle in a haystack.<\/p>\n Here is a comparison of the two sisters’ clusters:<\/p>\n This shows that Virginia split in two both of Lorraine’s Clusters 34 and 35. Here are some of the clusters that I tried to identify for Virginia:<\/p>\n So with that comparison and looking at some of Lorraine’s Shared Ancestor HInts at AncestryNDA give me this cluster chart for Lorraine:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nLorraine’s AutoCluster<\/h2>\n
