Here is another project group in FamilyTreeDna that I am a part of -- geared to any ancestors from Ulsters - I have asked the adminstrator to set up a Noble section in the results page!

I've not used Olive Tree.

I have used Olive Tree occasionally, but found it did not have much of what I was looking for!

Has anyone used Olive Tree Genealogy -- do they have more or different info than Ancestry? I'm looking for ships passenger lists 1840-1845 but they didn't have much for that period.

Michael.. I agree this DNA just adds a little interest to all our searching, but unfortunately it does not provide actual names! The old brickwalls are still there! However, when one matches with another like you and Terry, it might give a common thread at some point in time! Oh well, it keeps us interested!!
By the way, I have invited Bruce to join us -- and also asked him to upload the rest of his markers beyond 25 on ysearch!

The DNA markers are interesting input to the search, but they won't identify specific ancestors. We still have to backtrack step by step to identify each ancestor and try to establish where our lines do cross. It is certainly helpful to know that our families are related, but my current stumbling block is trying to find who were Robert's parents and where were they from, and the numbers just don't tell me that (unless I'm missing something).
It is even more curious, to me, to know that Terry and I match on all 67 markers, yet my ancestor emigrated from Ireland in the mid-1840's, stopping in Illinois and ending up in Missouri, while his went to North Carolina in the mid-1700's and ended up in Illinois. Grandparents, uncles or cousins? Undoubtedly, but we haven't been able to identify the link yet.

Pat has now all his marker values in ysearch --- use this criteria to see the results -
on at least 8 markers, allowing a genetic distance of 1 per marker matched above 20.
Showing matches with last name Noble.

Forgot.. Mike and Terry - we are still a genetic distance of 4!

Pat still has to put in values for markers 438 and 442 -- when he does that we will be okay with 438 (all at 12) - however marker 442 for Pat is 17 and we are at 12.. that means that he and I will now be a genetic distance of 7 ( I won't be able to pull that up on ysearch as it maxes at 6)! Mike and Terry will be a genetic distance of 6.

I've updated my data at Ysearch with John's help. I thought the markers were in numeric order and ended up missing 7 of them: 441, 444, 445, 446, 452, 461, and 462. Mea culpa.
With the new data added, John and I are still genetic distance 2 with 30 markers compared, but the other two with genetic distance 2 (Michael, Terry) have 32 markers to compare with me. The one with genetic distance 1 with 25 markers (Bruce) remains unchanged.
