Autosomal is useful for identifying parents and siblings. Beyond that its alot of guess work. Theres a chart but when you become 2 generations down of a common ancestor or more its more hard to track how you are related. Where as haplogroups are set in stone. You are related to this person. All you have to do is track that one line in the paperwork and you find your common ancestor. Autosomal is way more tricky because autosomal distribution is random and recombines And no. Its not thousands of years only. Also within a few hundreds of years or less if you have exact match. Autosomal DNA didnt really help me so much in finding connections with people. I just dig in records and find the connection

I'm not 100% sure on the details there. Like I said, my grandpa's dad's side is sort of a mystery.

I know, but given the 18% Jewish for your cousins and the Slavic haplogroup, I think that's the most likely. Also, I've taken some classes on genealogy, so if you want me to help you with yours, I'd be happy to.

Of course haplogroups are really important if they weren’t then have guys shouldn’t have a problem with their girls sleeping with other man

And Smeagol said his grandfather's paternal grandfather was a Slav and the rest of his grandparents were probably Jewish.

And Emmanuel Celler had three Jewish grandparents and one German one, and was Jewish.

So I thought that this kind of thing was very common in the Jewish community.

Smeagol isn't Jewish, that's the point. The majority of people who are mixed are not Jewish. There are exceptions, but they're the minority.

Shaggy confirmed for being OK with men sleeping with his girlfriend as long as they have the same YDNA as Shaggy.

You need to read more before posting misinformation.

People are here to learn.

There is the theory of I1 being Indo-Europeanized somewhere in Central Europe by R1-carriers, before tagging along with them to Northern Europe.

When you go back many generations, that direct lineage doesn't count for any more than other of your ancestors' lineages. It may be interesting, but that's about it.

Still, I1 is native to Europe in a way R1 is not and will never be.

Nah only betas are ok with their society’s being filled with haplogroups that are different to theirs
