DNA results of Cousin Judy's brother, Mike

FINALLY, I am getting to Judy's brother's results – sorry for the delay, Judy!

 

Mike has a TON of matches, including some relatively big cM matches, given how far back in time our common ancestors are – John Vosper & Grace Goddard, 6 generations.  Here are the results of the 1 to 1 comparisons:

 

 

My brother has a good size match on chr. 19:

 

 

And my other brother, Tom, does, too:

You can see by looking at the start and end locations that my brother Robert's results are identical to my brother, Tom's – they are located within the very same segment on chr. 19.

 

I don't know how Susan fits into our Vosper Cousins group – her Vosper family is from Pillaton, but we've never figured out exactly how she matches, and she is not a "Vosper Cousin".

 

 

 

 

Another interesting match – Bella is an adoptee who does not know who her parents are/were – but it's obvious there's some Vosper in there!

 

 

 

 

 

Robert Vosper is a 2^nd cousin to me, with a common immigrant grandfather – but he doesn't have the chr. 19 overlap that my brothers have.  This shows the importance of testing multiple family members.

 

 

 

 

Here is an overview of how Mike matches my family:

 

 

Judy, Mike's sister is shown below.  Note that she does not share the chr. 19 match:

 

Just goes to show, it's important to test all the older members of the families.  In case you're wondering, I usually don't run an analysis of the children of a "Cousin" because they're DNA, by definition, will be smaller in matches than their parent.  So, Jon Vosper, please don't think you're being ignored – it's just that your father's DNA contains more matching segments than yours will.

 

On to the next cousin!  Hope you're all having a great day!  Keep those DNA results coming in!

From: Judy Fehringer Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2017 3:55 PM Subject: home again   Cousin Teri,   I am back from the hinterlands of central Nebraska. The eclipse was absolutely incredible. I was rather ambivalent about going, but I am so glad I did. My brother and daughter got some wonderful pictures; the weather cooperated and the traffic was not bad at all. Everyone has headed home and I am trying to do a mountain of bedding and towels.   I ran my brother's DNA on some of the kit numbers that you had sent but got few matches. Then I realized that I was running it at 7 cms and probably should have lowered it. I couldn't find F.V.'s number, and I think that is the match from Ancestry.   My brother is M.S. who is managed by jasf1 on Ancestry. I think I put him in as Mike on Gedmatch, but with  my email. Again, his number is A538477.   Cousin Judy
