Ethnicity estimates within continents are NEVER reliable enough to cause you to doubt parentage.How can this possibly be? It’s one of those vestiges of America’s history of slavery. In other words, your ancestor’s DNA may not be detectible at 5, 6 or 7 generations, because it was lost in generations between them and you, while another ancestor’s DNA is still present in detectable amounts at 8 or 9 generations.For you to inherit a particular segment from one GGGGG-grandparent, the inheritance might look something like this.

Now I read that LivingDNA works best if you have mostly British ancestry (which I definitely don’t).

Here’s an article that discussed different testing and transfer strategies.

In my family there are three sisters married to three brothers. I bought a 23andme kit from Amazon, then bought the LivingDNA kit when I found out it can show you the maternal and paternal lineage. I heard that my great grandfather was 50% native american. Mercedes Brons, author and genealogist, has been doing genealogy both professionally and as an amateur for more than five years. “For anyone still naive enough to believe in the myth of racial purity, it is one more corroboration that the social categories of ‘white’ and ‘black’ are and always have been more porous than can be imagined,” wrote Harvard Professor Henry Louis “Skip” Gates Jr. in I know which ancestors my dad shares with Beta, and so I now know which ancestors possibly passed down the North African DNA to my dad.Take a look at the segment data for Chromosome 12 that I have painted in for my dad on DNA Painter:The next step? My mom also tells me she may have a Turkish ancestor. That story was hidden until our DNA revealed it. You can click on any graphic to enlarge.In the above example, you inherited one tenth of the segment from your GGGGG-grandparent which was one third of the DNA that your parent carried in that segment from that ancestor.A second example is every bit as likely, shown below.In this second scenario, you inherited nothing of that segment from your GGGGG-grandparent.In this third scenario, you inherited all of the DNA from that ancestor as your parent.Now, think of these three scenarios as three different siblings inheriting from the same parent, and you’ll understand why siblings carry different amounts of DNA from their ancestors.Of course, the child can only inherit what the parent has inherited from that ancestor, and if that particular segment was gone in the parent’s generation, or generations before the parent, the child certainly can’t inherit the segment. Gedmatch confirmed that I have 1-2% of East African DNA and 3-4% of North African JEWISH DNA. Would you recommend AncestryDNA over 23andme in my case?I did ancestry DNA test it came back 75% great britton where as my parents one has trace amount of great britton the other 23% so how can I be 75% idk?

My mother is 59% British, 21% Native American, 11% Irish, 7% African, and 2% German.

You may not have inherited certain DNA because: DNA inheritance is random; at most, only half of someone’s DNA can be passed down; beyond your parents, the amount of DNA you inherit from ancestors is not necessarily 25% from each grandparent, 12.5% from each great-grandparent, and so forth Based on this cursory knowledge of our ancestry, we would be surprised to find 1% Native American, or 2% European Jewish in our results.Based on our understanding of DNA inheritance, we know that we inherited DNA from most of our great-great-great-great grandparents.Do you know who all 128 of your great-great-great-great grandparents were, where they were born, and where their families came from?I recommend building trees on Ancestry.

How is it possible I have zero?Thank you so much for your informative article. Answer number one is correct and the second answer is off a bit with an extra great in there.

Two of my three daughters have trace amts of Iberian Peninsula in their DNA results. My hair, or at least the hair I once had, is blond. You may match people you had no idea that tested. So it's a g-g-g grandparent. Or perhaps there is an issue with the genealogy. I wanted to know what those segments represented – or more accurately – who they represented. One of the most common questions I receive, especially in light of the interest in ethnicity testing, is how much of an ancestor’s DNA someone “should” share.The chart above shows how much of a particular generation of ancestors’ DNA you would inherit if each generation between you and that ancestor inherited exactly 50% of that ancestor’s DNA from their parent. I have zero.

You need a better dna test to find out how many thousands of years ago your ancestors left the Sub-Saharan region. I’d been told my entire life we were part Native from my mom’s side. Since this is correct via registry records is it not too far back in time for a score of over 100cm segment matching?My maternal grandmother tested with Ancestry last year, and I was very surprised at how low our match was (1348 cM, according to Gedmatch).
