  • RLP 314: Banyan DNA and Double Cousin Relationships
    Jul 15 2024
    Diana and Nicole discuss BanyanDNA, a tool for analyzing complex family relationships in genetic genealogy. Leah Larkin introduced BanyanDNA in December 2023, highlighting its unique ability to identify unknown ancestors and alert users to discrepancies in family trees. Diana shares her experience with her own family tree, where her great-grandparents' siblings married each other, creating double cousins. She builds a tree using BanyanDNA, adding DNA matches from various test-takers, and finds the horizontal tree orientation helpful for visualizing relationships. They explain that BanyanDNA allows adding DNA matches from any testing company and evaluates shared DNA to highlight discrepancies in documented relationships. The tool runs statistical simulations to compare expected DNA inheritance with actual data, providing insights into the accuracy of the family tree structure. They discuss recent updates to BanyanDNA, including new calculation modes: VALIDATION and HYPOTHESES. Validation runs check if DNA matches support the documented tree, while hypotheses runs focus on the person of interest with potential unknown ancestors. These updates improve the speed and accuracy of BanyanDNA results.

  • RLP 312: Mitochondrial DNA and WikiTree
    Jul 1 2024
    In this episode of Research Like a Pro, Diana and Nicole explore the use of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and WikiTree in genealogical research. They explain that mtDNA is inherited from our mothers, with only females passing it on, and how it differs from autosomal DNA by coming from a distant maternal ancestor. They discuss how mtDNA testing reveals haplogroups, genetic population groups with a common ancestor, and share their personal testing experiences with 23andMe, FamilyTree DNA, and Living DNA, highlighting the northern European origins of their haplogroup, U5b1c2b. The hosts emphasize that while mtDNA changes very little over generations, making it difficult to pinpoint recent common ancestors, it is useful for confirming or refuting specific female ancestral lines. They discuss integrating DNA information into WikiTree, a collaborative and free online platform, which allows users to add mtDNA haplogroups to family profiles, enhancing genealogical research by sharing DNA data with other researchers. They provide practical tips for getting started on WikiTree, including creating a login, adding ancestors, and integrating DNA information from various testing services. They also highlight unique features of WikiTree, such as the DNA Ancestors view, which shows the inheritance of different types of DNA from ancestors. This episode offers valuable insights into using mtDNA and WikiTree as powerful tools in genealogical research.

  • RLP 308: DNA Features at WikiTree with Emma MacBeath
    Jun 3 2024
    This episode of Research Like a Pro focuses on the DNA features available on Wikitree, with guest Emmaline MacBeath, a genetic genealogist, explaining them. Diana and Nicole, discuss with Emmaline the various DNA tools and functionalities on Wikitree. One key feature is the ability to mark relationships as "DNA confirmed" by providing evidence from DNA matches. Users can also record the DNA tests they've taken on their profiles, which propagates to ancestors and descendants within a certain genetic distance. WikiTree displays connections to other members who have taken the same DNA tests, enabling comparisons. Another useful tool is the "DNA Descendancy View," which lists an ancestor's descendants and indicates those who have taken DNA tests. This helps identify potential test-takers for specific lineages. The "Relationship Finder" allows users to explore how they are related to others, even triangulating relationships using multiple matches. Emmaline highlights the privacy controls on WikiTree, enabling safe sharing of DNA information. The "G2G Forum" provides a community space to ask questions and seek assistance with DNA interpretations. Overall, WikiTree offers a range of collaborative DNA features to enhance genealogical research and connect with genetic cousins. This summary was generated by Claude.ai.
