  • Limits of DNA Testing for Family History

    LIMITS OF DNA TESTING FOR FAMILY HISTORY 1. DNA alone cannot provide the name of an ancestor . 2. Percentage match of DNA alone cannot provide a definitive relationship . 3. Autosomal DNA cannot reliably reach back farther than five or six generations. 4. Y-DNA and mtDNA have strict inheritance patterns that limit their use.

  • Genetic genealogy in Finland

    The purpose of the Genetic Genealogy in Finland project is to provide information about genetic genealogy and to help utilize the DNA information of profiles in Geni. No profiles are attached to this project DNA test companies FTDNA - Autosomaltest FamilyFinder, Y-DNA tests, mtDNA tests, test results can be linked to Geni MyHeritage - Autosomaltest, test results can not be linked to Ge...

  • Finding Your Roots

    This project gathers together the Geni profiles for all of the notable figures who have been - or will be - featured on the genealogical television program, Finding Your Roots . It is a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) public television series hosted by Professor Henry Louis Gates . The first season originally aired March 25 – May 20, 2012 from 8–9 p.m. EDT. A second season airs September 23 ...

  • Y-DNA haplogroups

    A Y-DNA haplogroup defines a group of men by the shared features of their Y-chromosome. Members of the same Y-haplogroup have a patrilineal (direct paternal) ancestor in common. Y-DNA haplogroup assignments can help to identify recent and distant genetic ancestry, and provide insight into ancient human societies and their migrations. This project offers a thorough presentation on Y-DNA haplogro...

  • R-U106 (Y-DNA)

    Background R1b-U106 is one of the large Western European subclades of haplogroup R along with R1b-P312 (Proto-Celtic) and R1b-S1194 (potentially Nordwestblock / Belgae ). Balkano-Anatolian R1b-Z2103 that earlier split off from R1b-M269 is considered a Proto-Indo-Iranian subclade (Dorians, Hittites, Trojans, Phrygians, and Armenians) like R1a-Z93 (Indo-Aryans, Persians, Medes, Mitanni, and Tatar...

  • R-BY33288 (Y-DNA)

  • mtDNA Haplogroups

    This is a master project, to collect information about the specific mtDNA haplogroup projects on Geni. All modern humans descend in the female line from a particular woman, nicknamed "Mitochondrial Eve," who lived about 150,000 years ago. Each of us has inherited her mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), along with the mutations that have accumulated in our individual family lines. Mitochondrial DNA (m...

  • DNA verified people via multiple children, born before 1800

    This is a Geni project for profiles whose DNA haplogroups are fully confirmed. This may either be based on: matching Y-DNA haplogroup from. descendants of at least two sons , or matching MtDNA haplogroup from descendants of at least two daughters , or archeological DNA results from their remains, matching the DNA of some relative known in the sources. Only the earliest profiles that ...

  • R-U106 (Y-DNA)

    This project is for people who have tested and been assigned the paternal haplogroup R-U106 (Y-DNA) and also for people who are believed to have been this paternal haplogroup based on tests done on descendants. The current naming convention is to use the terminal SNP, so R1b, U106* Also known as R1b1b2a1a (S21+), previously known as R1b1b2a From The R1b1b2a1 (S21+) is a prominent R1b subclade...

  • R-Y93579 (Y-DNA)

    Project Goals This project is a meeting place for users who share the R-Y93579 Y-DNA haplogroup, which means they are related along their paternal lines. Users in this group may want to share their family trees with each other to find overlaps and merge duplicate profiles in order to join or expand the World Family Tree and discover new relatives.

    I2a1a2b-L621 is typical of the Slavic populations, being highest in Southeastern European regions of Bosnia-Herzegovina and South Croatia (>45%),[3][13][14] in Bosniaks (43.53-52.17%), Croats (37.7-69.8%), and Serbs (36.6-42%), because of which is often called "Dinaric".[15] It has the highest variance and also high concentration in Eastern Europe (Ukraine, Southeastern Poland, Belarus).[16] Ac...
