I took five genetic genealogy courses this year, most focused on endogamy, pedigree collapse, and multiple relationships. Nicole Dyer at Family Locket asked me to share something about that. This post focuses on visualizing complex relationships, such as multiple instances of pedigree collapse and multiple relationships in one match.

Researching a 4th great uncle. Using initials to simplify.

P (4gu) married A. 4 kids 1798-1805. A died.

P married B, 4 kids 1817-1825. P died.

B married L, 2 kids 1831-1832. B died.

L married C, 2 kids 1836-1838. L died.

C married N, 1 kid, 1843. C outlived N and didn't remarry

N (21y) earlier married D (42y) who had had 2 earlier kids by 2 unnamed men. D died.

7 people, 6 marriages, 15 kids.

(I'm related to P, A, B, L, & C.)

All 32 of my 3rd-great-grandparents had settled into one Appalachian county by 1820 (many earlier), and 60 of my most-recent ancestors were born, lived, and died there, in Ashe County, NC.

I'm interested in genetic genealogy, especially endogamy, pedigree collapse, and teasing-apart multiple relationships using DNA segment triangulation.

At some point in your genealogy research, you will find a family line that died out. Or a male YDNA line or female mtDNA line became extinct. Or instances of pedigree collapse. Should genealogists note instances like these in our family trees?

Join us this Sunday at 4pm EST as we talk about lineage extinction & pedigree collapse – and how we can note and memorialize them.
