My Personal Relatives Finder

Like most people who are into family research I’m always interested in finding new relatives and to get in touch with distant cousins. To make this easier I had my DNA tested on 23andme and on Ancestry DNA and also uploaded it to GEDmatch (Kit # M368955), GedMatch Genesis (Kit # BW5201028) as well as FTDNA, MyHeritage and others. My full family tree is available on MyHeritage, please ask for access.

Please check out my ancestry composition charts at the end of this page!

My paternal haplogroup is J2b2*, J-M172 or J-M241 (whatever you call it)
My maternal haplogroup is H1-C16239T
