My Family Tree DNA

2019 Results 5 generations Ehrman  

After connecting with cousins on Ancestry, I mentioned the 2% Ashkenazi in my brothers DNA to Beth.  She said her mom and uncle showed 3# with Ancestry when she had their DNA done.  It then went away, they also had them being Viking back then.  She told me to upload my data to Familytreedna that they would read the file, she had done that and the Ashkenazi showed up there.  I was excited to find out on myself then.  So she gave me the link to download my data and the link to upload it.  She also wanted me to do that at GED match, but I wouldn't she mentioned their breakdown

was even more precise.  They talked bad about that place so I refused.  Her stuff was also there.

I was excited to see the same 2% show up in me of Ashkenazi as my brother.  Things were a bit different in what we did carry so I did a side by side snapshot of us.

When I saw this, I sent it to my brother, said see it is in me also. As they do talk about trace amounts being noise possibly. Of course, now with AI you can find out what the DNA data truly showed that company. That hidden from us and not understanding DNA. I just asked AI and it said by 2019 when this was done Family Tree already knew it was not noise in the trace amounts. They do keep trying to get you to upgrade and pay to get exact confirmed haplogroups on Ydna and mtDNA.

I did upload these snapshots and put them in our gallery pictures on Ancestry and continued to work on the Ehrmann Switzerland bloodline. Like most people you tend to forget about thing DNA wise working on records. I did do research found out Ancestry and 23andme used the same labs to read their DNA. 23andme will give the male both haplogroups of male and female lines. I found out Ancestry has same info but does not give it to people, they themselves use the info I am sure.

Decoding the DNA Split (From Our Original Uploads)

Looking at this side-by-side comparison, our father’s tree divides into two completely separate Jewish lineages:

His Father's Father's Line (Grandpa Ehrman): This line passed down my brother's direct male Y-DNA Jewish haplogroup and that prominent, ancient 7% West Middle East genetic footprint you see on his chart. Because I am female, I didn't inherit the Y-DNA, and my random slice of his DNA only caught trace amounts of that deep Middle Eastern signature.
