<DIV class=yiv5045091761MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">A child
receives 50% of their DNA from each parent. That means that each parent
had 50% more to offer that will not appear in a given child’s DNA. The
blessing of autosomal recombinant DNA is each and every child is a little bit
different. So yes, there is value in testing your siblings. You
will both match the same close cousins (1<SUP>st</SUP>-2<SUP>nd</SUP>) but you
will each have inherited different segment matches to those cousins that are
3-8<SUP>th</SUP> cousins. And genealogist’s are looking for clues to all
their relatives.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV class=yiv5045091761MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">My grandmother
was one of 13 children. If all 13 were alive I might have tested all of
them. As it is, I tested the two living brothers and then the two living
sons of my grandmother to show a representation of HER DNA. I tested all
3 siblings in my own family and it is the patterns that help me see clues to
our inheritance.</SPAN></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV class=yiv5045091761MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">DNA is sort of
a scientific logic puzzle. It makes me think and I enjoy the
challenge. You can focus on only the ‘low hanging fruit’ with the
stronger matches or you can reach higher for the fruit in the highest branches
(with the cM 8-12) and see if you can figure those branches out.</SPAN></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV class=yiv5045091761MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">DNA is simply
one clue – it confirms you ARE related. It doesn’t not actually confirm
you are not related when you do not match, unless your hypothesis was a close
one. I use it in Oregon to work on the emigrant families from the region
of Hungary. A large group of emigrants came in 1902-1906 and I’m trying
to sort out which are related to one another and which simply lived in the
same town.</SPAN></DIV>
