Still learning about Mastodon and trying hashtags!

For a #Genealogy Project, I have been tracing surname lines with #GeneticGenealogy using #Y_Chromosome #SnpTests from Family Tree DNA ( #FTDNA ). That has worked out very well.

Now am trying to look at autosomal SNPs from #WholeGenomeSequencing ( #WGS ) tests to detect possible common ancestors back 9-12 generations or so. Want to see if very rare genetic variants ( #vrGV ) can be used in some way to identify those possible connections.
