DNA Help needed
| # | Post |
|---|---|
| 1 | I really need some help with deciphering my DNA and matches. Is there anyone who could help me? The person I need will have to be trustworthy and have a good knowledge of deciphering dna results. I have all the information, but I just don't know how to use it. I am trying to find someone and I feel that the clues might be available, but am frustrated at how to go about following those clues. Maybe I need a professional! doones - 2019-10-17 11:59:00 |
| 2 | Not allowed to share contact info on trademe. If you are on Facebook try dna detectives and/or dna detectives down under. The main detective site has several files which explain how to work the dna. Good luck. catsmeat1 - 2019-10-17 14:52:00 |

| 4 | Look at your first match (closest cousin) and see if you know know them, if you do look for "Add/edit groups" you can choose a group colour so mark the person with a colour i.e. blue for paternal and pink for maternal, then its just a matter of going thru every single "shared match" and see if they match anyone that you have assigned a colour group to... try finding someone you know and start from there, also don't start on the 4th cousins shared matches as that will drive you crackers. flora11 - 2019-10-18 14:27:00 |
| 5 | Flora11 I'm about to embark on the colour coding, I see you have said not to bother with 4th cousins. I only have two 2nd cousins listed and a few 3rd cousins...will this still be of much use? unouwanit - 2019-10-24 11:35:00 |
| 6 | Use all your matches between 90 and 400 centremorgans, regardless of what cousinship tag they have. unouwanit wrote: mousiemousie - 2019-10-24 16:02:00 |
| 7 | DNA Detectives down under on FB. We are a good bunch of people in there and willing to help. Or if you are Maori, the FB group Polynesian DNA will be better for you. Mel S.
