23andme.com is now $99 for V3 chip, with ~900,000 SNPs -- best anyone has "commercially" (V4 is available, but no one uses it yet) FTDNA FF is still $289 (they also use V3 chip, but do not do X-chromosome -- 23andme does) You can download raw data from 23andme and upload to FTDNA FF for $89 (this is now available, I had to wait 5 months for my father-in-laws to get uploaded) Additionally, you can download raw data from 23andme and FTDNA-FF and upload to GEDmatch.com** **FTDNA-FF has upgraded to Build 37 (which is now fully compatible with 23andme), however GEDmatch has not finished allowing upgraded Build 37 from FTDNA-FF to work with their database yet... I believe Ancestry.com uses the older V2 chip, and you cannot download the raw data (though we've heard they will add this at some point) Autosomal looks at locations on all 23 pairs of chromosomes, so it is available to both males and females -- it is only really useful for comparisons for 5th to 6th cousins at best -- there is just so little DNA in common beyond this that it is tough to find common ancestry. Another fun part is to realize about 10% of each generation involves an NPE (non-parent event) -- adoption, illegitimate birth, ... the "milk man"...

I don't think we know how these two INGRAM lines connect... Sarah Ella INGRAM WEBB d/o d/o Milton Carpenter INGRAM and Caroline Evaline HUNTER Milton (1841-1920) s/o Sewell INGRAM and Elenor SAUNDERS Sewell (1809-1871) s/o John INGRAM and Catherine SEWELL John (1775 Johnston Co., NC - bef. 1850 HCI) mar. Catherine SEWELL (? - bef. 1830) on 17 Nov 1794 Johnston Co., NC (cousin Susie Ingram researched quite a bit of this - believes John is s/o Sir Arthur INGRAM ) John & Catherine had 9 children... Sarah Theresa INGRAM MEADOWS d/o Seth INGRAM (1793 DE - 1852) and Mary Ann "Polly" ROBINSON (they mar. in Clark Co., IN) (many people have Seth and Sewell as brothers -- but dates and places don't make sense for this...) -SRJ > -----Original Message----- > From: ilfrankl-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ilfrankl- > bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Eldora Phillips > Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 9:16 AM > To: ilfrankl@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [ILFRANKL] Sarah E.
