I am half-sibling? (same father). Used AncestryDNA and found each other. It says 1st Cousin which is normal for half-sibling.Is 23andMe better?

23andMe gives you your raw data, which can easily be cross referenced with SNPedia if you are concerned about certain traits or genetic predisposition. I had an excellent experience with 23andme. Congrats on finding your relative with the ancestry service! If that was your goal then you chose the right service. Perhaps you have more family out there, who use 23andme. If so, they will let you know. :)

Try National Geographic DNA Project. I think they're probably the best. Was not impressed with 23andMe

Thanks so much. Since I have 6 different genealogy files, and 3 of them all have over 800 pages, it looks like it might be a bit pricey, but...these are the best I've seen, so I will go ahead and order them. Wish the larger ones had a name plate on the outside. Again, my thanks...I know what to do now.

Your name goes in the first line (1) your father goes in the number 2 line, your mother in number 3. Your paternal grandparent go off the number 2 line, grandfather is number 4, grandmother is number 5 and so on. Maternal would be off number 3 (your mother) and continue on that way. You can contact me at yosimite1@cox.net if you need more help.

I never heard of the program you have but family tree maker 2012 gives you acess to ancestry.com and it allows you to search their data base for info you may not have. I truely like this program. I hope this was helpful.

The biggest advantage for me with Family Tree Maker is being able to print out reports (ancestor based, descendant charts etc. that include siblings) to hold in my hand and look over while searching files on ancestry.com. You can print reports and books from ancestry but they cost you big time, which may be fine when you are all finished but not until then.

There is a litlle extra space under "Married" where a 2nd or third marriage could be added but is is only through the 3rd Great-Grandparents then the spaces for other information from 4th and on back gets too small for much more information. I hope this helps you. (There is also a little space at the bottom of each section where infor. could be added)

I pretty much think a DNA test will show if two animals of the same species are related. I don't know if this is a part of what the Wisdom folk do, but contact them to find out. Don't tell them the breed of the dogs and see if they can tell you what they are - unless they are reading this ........... the results for my dog were so unrealistic. Personally, I would save my money.

Born/Chr Place Married Place Died Buried Place This is how it is listed for every person. I have not used it yet as I can't figure out how this works. I would buy a different one now that I can see this lay out. It may be that the problem is me....but this is very confusing. Hope this helps. I passed these out to family to do and no one has done one yet. But have worked on the family tree just not using this. AND no idea what(Chr)means.

Excellent question. 23andme is hush hush about and contacting them in nearly impossible. On December 13th we'll all know the final FDA ruling. They appear to be processing kits right now, but if I were you I would either wait on sending the sample back or call your bank for a refund. Getting refunds from 23andme have been a nightmare and it will only get worse if the FDA shuts it all down.

I've used both, and got no response. I'm 8wks pregnant and am FINALLY getting a FAINT positive line. All bloodwork shows my levels are normal, too.

I believe I recall reading that it is supposed to tell you accurately if both babies are the same gender, but if they are not then, you will get the boy result if at least one is a boy. Best of luck, not sure how helpful this is! This product was not accurate for me, but perhaps you will do better. :)

This is a very technical question requiring the understanding of molecular linkage, of which I am not an expert, but I an using the Beta Glucan shown in the picture. It is supposed to be one of the best, if not the best brand. I have just placed another order for 6 bottles. So,,,,,, I am putting my money where my mouth is. That is about all I can say. Thanks.

#1 is you. #2 is your father and 3 your mother. Male lines are the even numbers and female spouses are odd numbers in all generations. Paternal lines are upper part of the chart and maternal the lower half. I've used a 15 gen chart to get the big picture that even computers can't do.

The DNA test will reveal the breed of all eight of the great-grandparents. If they're all the same breed, I'd say you've got yourself a purebred dog. We were nearly certain our dog was half Boston terrier, and the results came back showing four of his great-grandparents were Bostons; two were smooth fox terriers, and two were mixed breed/unknown. We were happy with these results.

The 2nd number is the circumference in millimeters, from bead to bead. So the 25 is slightly fatter than the 23. It has a slightly smoother ride but the 23 has a tiny amount less resistance so it would be considered a little faster.

To my knowledge there has only been one DNA. So to answer your question I'm going with yes

It will be clear that your parents are or are not your biological parents if you and they get tested. If a parent is unavailable, you could get your grandparents tested or your aunts or uncles or your cousins, as surrogates for the parents, but that takes a little more interpretation. In my family, our daughter shares 50% with each of my wife and me, and there is matching all through each chromosome, so it is very clear. Note that a several 23andme users have posted threads on the discussion groups about how they found that they were adopted, or their mother got pregnant by a man other than the Dad, or through artificial insemination.
