Chromosome Map 1/11/2014

January 11, 2014 Tonia Kendrick

My DNA connections have really been clicking recently and I’ve been wanting to pull all the information together into a chromosome map, like the ones CeCe Moore creates.  I had been tracking everything in a spreadsheet, but that didn’t give me the at-a-glance visual that I wanted.  But now, Kitty Cooper has created a tool that makes it super-easy to generate a chromosome map.

Chromosome-Map-20140111

The legend shows the surnames of the ancestral couple that I can trace the DNA segment to.  I currently have eight confirmed DNA cousins, where we can identify our most recent common ancestors.

The closest relationship is 3rd cousin once removed, and leads back to Robert Garrett and Nancy Emeline Brookshire.  That’s the red segment on chromosome 3.  The burgundy segment on chromosome 3 is the same line, but further back.  That segment is from Stephen Tilley and Catherine Powell, who are Nancy Emeline Brookshire’s grandparents.  There is also a small burgundy segment on chromosome 2.

My most recent confirmed relationship leads back to James Hemphill and Susannah Patton.  That’s the light blue segment on chromosome 16.

As I continue to make connections with matches and identify the common ancestors, I’ll update my map.

About Tonia

Hi, I am Tonia Kendrick. Genealogy is my hobby, my passion (those who say obsession would not be accused of crazy-talk). While I had helped my mom with genealogy as a teenager, I first caught the bug myself when computers came into the picture.

Now we are well into the 21st-century and every day brings a new genealogy adventure, whether it is a new record group to explore online or a visit to a cemetery, courthouse, or other repository. It all comes together here. Read more about Tonia's Roots or contact Tonia. Read More…
