DNA Test Showing Mother and Father's Genes in a Match (Phasing) With GedMatch

Nadene Goldfoot                                         

My children have had a familyfinder DNA test with Family Tree DNA  as well as myself. The test results have been also transferred to GedMatch.com.  There are more tools there to use. 

I've just discovered a tool at GedMatch that I hadn't tried before, and it's called PHASING.  I find that one of my children have a match with someone, and I can find out through phasing what segments came from me or their father.  It's great.  I've seen (recombination) occur where a segment from me can be in the middle of their father's longer segment on one of our 23 chromosomes.  I've also seen segments from their maternal and paternal side and segments that are unknown.  Evidently not all can be identified.

What I've done is change the given 7 cMs on the tool to a 1cMs to catch any under 7cMs.  They do not appear to be random numbers to me, as I have 2 children and can triangulate even these teeny segments between 3 people; my 2 children and the 3rd party they happen to match. 

I can see that 2 very small matches happen to come from the maternal side. 
#10 chromosome shows 2.5cMs of which 1.9 came from the maternal side. 
#  3 chromosome shows 1.8 cMs of which  1.3 came from the maternal side.
It was a very big surprise to find that both of us parents matched this person.  It's not a common thing to happen. 

We all have 23 chromosomes.  They are numbered, with the numbers on the left side of the chart below.  A segment of DNA has a start and and end, just like measuring a candy bar's length, only it's measured in centimorgans, not inches.  I ignore the SNPs.  I'm not concerned with that in phasing.

Notice that #3 and #10 's origins are from the child's maternal side, found with the phasing tool.

Here is the report from the maternal side.  There was a match, a surprise but very very small.

I'd suggest that parents have their children tested, too.  It's always best to start with the oldest person in a family, though, and then you can always get the rest tested later.  The lucky children will benefit because then they will see what genes came from which parents.  Someday, we may even find out what these genes have created in us, such as:  intelligence, diseases, coloring, etc. 

Origins By GedMatch: Eurogenes J Test

Nadene Goldfoot
Steve's paternal grandfather was a Henwood and his grandmother was a Disney.  Steve's mother is Ashkenazi Jewish with the maiden name of Goldfoot, so his DNA reflects this. Her father was Jewish and her mother had converted.   I used the same test I had for myself and my brother. His father's parents came from England for the past hundreds of years.  .   Here are the results.  I would have guessed that 50% of his DNA or more would have been from England.

1. His largest % shows almost 1/4 of his DNA comes from North Central Europe with 23.40% North Central Europe  which lies between Eastern and Western Europe. Northern Europe is the northern part or region of Europe. Geographically, northern Europe consists of (from west to east): Iceland, the British Isles, Scandinavia, Northern Germany, Finland, the Baltic States and Northwest Russia. . His maternal ggrandmother was from Sweden.  That would be north central Europe.  That's why we have a high % here.  Also, his maternal grandparents include Goldfoot who was from Lithuania and Russia.  

Central Europe brown on left with peninsula is United Kingdom and across from it is Netherlands, and green Germany, red Poland, then Belarus, North Sea is white

2. Atlantic States is 21.31%  USA along Atlantic seaboard -recent genes.  It comprises the British Isles (Great Britain and Ireland), Iceland,Belgium, the Netherlands, the central and northern regions of Portugal, northwestern and northern Spain (including theSouthern Basque Country), the southwestern and western portion of France (including Northern Basque Country), western Scandinavia, and northern Germany.

3. Western Mediterranean countries is 12.74%  , France, Italy, Spain, Algeria, Tunisia , and for our history, most likely it was Italy as Jews from Jerusalem went there.   We connect to the famous biblical commentator, RASHI, who was from Troyes, France.

4. Ashkenazi Jewish is 10.65%.  Jews live and lived in Israel (2.8 million), Germany (200,000), Russia (194,000-500,000_ and Poland (25,000).  Our history is from these areas in the Pale of Settlement.  .

5. Southern Baltic States is 9.66% These are  Baltic states  as they are near the Baltic Sea.  

Northeastern region of Europe containing the countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, on the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea. It also includes Finland, N. Scandinavia, Romania, Belarus, It could also come from Lithuania as it is most south and the Goldfoot/Goldfus lived in Lithuania at least back to the 1700s.  .  
6. Eastern Europe is 8.96%        Regions used for statistical processing purposes by the United Nations Statistics Division which classifies Azerbaijan, Armenia, Cyprus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Turkey in Asia:

  Northern Europe  Scandinavia

  Western Europe  France, Germany, Austria, Czech, Poland, many Jews here

  Eastern Europe  Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, many Jews here

  Southern Europe  Spain, Italy, Bosnia, Serbia

His maternal great grandmother, Zlata Jermulowske, came from Lithuania and Poland with his ggrandfather  coming from Lithuania.  

7. Eastern Mediterranean is 6.88% with Israel, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Syria, Liberia, Greece and Cyprus, and our origins would have been Israel. 

                              

8. Western Asian countries is 4.21% The term is sometimes used for the purposes of grouping countries in  statistics. 

West Asia

The total population of Western Asia is estimated at about 300 million as of 2015.  It overlaps with Middle East excluding Egypt.  As a geographic concept, "Western Asia" includes the Levant, Mesopotamia, the Arabian peninsula, Anatolia, Iran,Armenian Highlands and South Caucasus. The Sinai Peninsula belongs to Western Asia.  Some records include "include the nations of Turkey, Iran, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Lebanon, Syria, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Iraq, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Cyprus, Oman, and Yemen as part of West Asia.  Our history would come from what they call the Levant which includes Israel.  
9. Middle Eastern countries is 1.99% with Israel being our origin, and could be from the Q also originating in Turkey.  At some time in history could also come from Persia, the home of Queen Esther (Iran today).  

10. Siberian heritage  is 0.16%  This comes from his maternal grandfather, Nathan Abraham Goldfoot's Ydna of Q1b1a with origins of Siberia thousands of years ago.  We were the perfect people to come to Lithuania as Q1b1a, right out of Siberia, Mongolia, parts of Turkey, and into the Pale of Settlement held by Russia.  Of course this trip took thousands of years and I think had to have deviated into Israel around Ur in Iraq.  The % is so small because this was where it all started on the Goldfoot side so very long ago.
