DNA - Dwyne Family Site

Purpose - DNA data
I am in the process of having my DNA tested. This page will be expanded as I learn.

The DNA testing by FamilyTreeDNA consists of two separate tests, one for mtDNA the other for Y-DNA. This is how my tests may relate to you.

mtDNA Passed by mothers to all children, only passed by females. Males have but do not pass mtDNA. If you are related to me through my mother or her sisters or their mother or her sisters etc etc, then we share the same mtDNA.


Y-DNA Direct male line. Passed from father to son to son etc, never passed to females. If you are related to me directly through my father or his father or any of their brothers etc etc, then we share the same Y-DNA.

Lot of ifs. If you fit one of the above then you can use the results.

If we are directly related through my mothers father or my mothers brother or my fathers mother or my fathers sister then none of the above applies. We are however most certainly related and I am interested in our shared history. The only real way of finding out, and the only way to go back before records is a DNA test.

1. I am dealing with FamilyTreeDNA
2. "Dwyne/Dwine" listed on FamilyTreeDNA (although I cannot make Dwine show in the search).
3. If you are interested in DNA testing, there is a substantial discount available if you join this group (or another) and order from within the group
4. The test kit has been received and returned.
5. Test kit received by familytreedna, results should be available in the first week of April.
6. Tests results have been received:
   1. Surprises, I don't think so.
   2. Some matches were found. I have attempted to contact one, but no reply.
      1. Y-DNA 12 marker exact = 10
      2. Y-DNA 25 marker exact = 1
      3. mtDNA Low Resolution (HVR1) Matches = 6813
      4. mtDNA High Resolution (HVR1+HVR2) Matches = 411
   3. Do I understand it all. No. Still reading.
7. Updates will be a bit slow. Better weather will soon be here and we have two children getting married this year.
