MyTrueAncestry and Eurogenes K15 of Multi-Continentally Mixed People - My Mother and Me

  Somebody told me that MyTrueAncestry's algorighm is based on Eurogenes K15 which I am very familiar with. I have used GEDmatch for over 12 years. I have done all the admixture/oracle analyses which do include Eurogenes K15. I also have been working with chromosome browser to examine matching segments with DNA relative matches and looked at chromosome paintings.  GEDmatch Admixture analyses of my genome that I have done.  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151819608390901&type=3 Over the 12 years that I have done Genetic Genealogy, I have grown to take ethnic analyses with a strong grain of salt and focus mainly on DNA relative matches.  My 7 ethnic analyses from DNA companies/sites https://diversegenes.blogspot.com/2021/09/my-ethnic-analyses-ancestrydna-23andme.html My Genealogical Ancestry 4th Generation Californian on my mother's side, and my father was 7th generation Louisianan broken down by great grandparent paternal grandfather's father: African America

DNA Connection Between My Paternal Ancestors in Louisiana And The Colonial American Turners of Marion County, South Carolina

There is a DNA connection between my paternal ancestors in Louisiana and the Colonial American Turners of Marion County, South Carolina. At 23andme, a European American woman is a 32 cM match to me on a paternal segment that is predominantly SubSaharan African with a little bit of Filipino/Austronesian. I just recently learned that she is a descendant of a mixed African, European American Turner family in Marion County, South Carolina. She has a little bit of Sub Saharan African ancestry.  I have 18 other AncestryDNA matches that are descendants of  Turner families in Marion County, South Carolina.  Aunt Carrie doesn't have any of these matches nor any other matches that descend from a Turner family in Marion County, South Carolina. She is my father's maternal halfsister.  Therefore, these don't seem to be matches on my African American Louisianan paternal grandmother Mary Alice Gaines's side.  These seem to be matches on my African American Louisianan paternal grandfat

My Paternal 2nd Great Grandmother Maria's family

I figured out my paternal 2nd Great Grandmother Maria's family.   I suspected that Great Grandpa Ivory's older brother's first name Matthews might be their mother Maria's maiden name.  Census Records shows Ivory Scott's mother Maria's parents were David Matthews and Matilda Brown. They were married on December 24, 1872 in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana.  Both were born in Louisiana.  Their children in chronological order were Walter, Maria, Cordelia, Thomas Hamilton, Jordan David, George, Lucy, Charles, and Andrew.  2nd Great Grandpa David's parents were Jesse Matthews who was born in Mississippi and Maria who was born in Georgia. 1910 Census shows Uncle Walter living as a widow in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana with his sons Jade, Alonzia, and Ivory. He was working as a farmer.  All were recorded as being mulatto. 1910 Census shows that my 3rd Great Grandparents David and Matilda were living on the Acadia plantation in Lafourche Parish. Their grandson Morris Robi
