In dealing with DNA, particularly at GEDmatch, when I do a comparison to another person, if he or she is a match, it estimates the number of generations to the MRCA (Most Recent Common Ancestor). For my matches, the highest number for generations to MRCA I've seen is 7.5. Therefore, I created this page to show the generations back from me (James "Jamie" Arthur Johnson). I list them by birth name (so you can see the surname connection) with links to pages on my site and designate them with colors: paternal and maternal (NOTE: Paternal is light blue unless it is Y-DNAThe DNA only found in males, passed from father to son; then it is dark blue. Maternal is pink unless it is maternal Mitochondrial DNA - mtDNA - The DNA passed by mother to children; then it is red. If you don't see the colors, refresh your page). When I hit an unknown ancestor or where the surname is the only known, then I will link to the page where that line would connect with what I do know. Odd numbers are males and even numbers are females. Between the black lines represents a couple. Y-DNA ancestors (as pictured to the left above) are highlighted in blue and maternal Mitochondrial DNA ancestors (as pictured to the right above) are highlighted in red.
Here are my generations:
