![]() There's other proper software for that I think. And in webtrees you record only the people you know are related to each other. This all makes DNA tests not very usable for amateur genealogists, which is the public that uses webtrees. you will have to do the proper archive work to reveal the full details of the relation. If you want to use DNA tests in larger populations, there are some challenges:ġ) who funds the research? Are you really that rich? Or is this an "academic" question?Ģ) who is selected to have their DNA analysed, and on what criteria?ģ) will you have whole villages tested? they will not like you peeking into their percentage of inbreed.Ĥ) moral dilemma: you will shatter lives and ruin happy families when your tests show with 95% certainty that somebody's biological father is not who they thought it was (with 5% chance the test is wrong)ĥ) the rightmost "x" in your diagram remains a question mark with DNA tests. That means that only offspring of two of my 128 forefathers of 7 generations ago are included. Also I think it's a challenge to prove DNA relationships with people other than the direct paternal or maternal line, because the tests are based on either the y-chromosome (father to son) or mitochondrial DNA (mother to children). Other interesting relations (like the second husband of.) cannot be shown at all with DNA tests. Sorry, I think it makes no sense at all to do this with webtrees.ĭNA tests are great to prove any two random people are related or not, either through a common father or common mother. ![]()
