DNA statistics part 2- Maternal side

Mom's DNA results are challenging. About 80 % of my ancestry results are paternal. Mom's grandmother was a first generation American and we don't have a lot of matches from those lines, same for her Choctaw side. That said she has clusters of matches for some groups.



Note: I share 50 percent of my DNA with my parents and my daughter. On Gedmatch that number varies in cM from 3549 for Mom, 3552 for Dad and 3581 for my daughter using my 23andme test. Dad and mom are both on 23andme and my daughter is on Ancestry. For an average I am using 3560 cM as marker for 50%.  Differences are likely due to unreadable (no call) areas from the samples.

Based on the unrealistic 50 % DNA from each parent in each generation, this is what the contributed DNA “should” be for my parents, me and my daughter if every generation was inherited equally at 25 % for each grandparent’s DNA contribution.

My parents are only on 23andme and Gedmatch, where I am on Ancestry, 23andme and Gedmatch and my daughter is on Ancestry and Gedmatch only. (I am not using FTDNA or my heritage matches for this table.)  Since most “in common” identified matches will go back to a common ancestor pair (or double the DNA from the above table as “possible”) I wanted to look at the highest match to a known DNA pair for my parents, myself and my daughter. 

Results for my mother’s family are below.
