I have been following another blog for about a year which has been all about searching for ‘kin’ and relying totally on using DNA results (as well as awesome detective work!). I confess, I have quite a bit to learn about just how autosomal DNA results ‘work’ but I have recently submitted another DNA sample to 23andMe. Goodness gracious! I am totally blown away at just how different Ancestry.com DNA and 23andMe DNA results turned out to be.
Both have identified ‘kin’ there is no doubt. But I confess, Ancestry’s DNA results are cute, prettified, and somewhat lacking. On the other hand, 23andMe is almost overwhelming with DATA!
With that said, I need to tell you I am ‘finding’ so many more Medzev connection on 23andMe and the only reason I can think of is that, simply, those who submitted DNA chose 23andMe instead of Ancestry.com. If YOU have submitted a DNA sample to 23andME, please, please let me know!
And no, I haven’t yet found another PIMSNER researcher in this group but my my my – so many of the same and familiar surnames I have mentioned in other posts!! Just like home 🙂
I’m on 23andme and so are some of my half siblings. We all have Medzev connections through our mother: Streidl, Antl, Sorger, Gedeon, Broestel. Our names are: Bridget Disney, Jan Fishler, Debra Holland and Ron Zelenka.
