I have been tracing the Moxey line for fifty years. I live in south west England. I am very interested in connecting with other DNA matches in particular. My brother has Y DNA results.
I saw you added "Devon" as one of your followed tags. I've been deep diving my Conybeare heritage (Devon + Somerset, 1540's onwards) for a while, using the resources on WikiTree, FamilySearch, and FindMyPast. If you ever want to collaborate or you have a question about something, let me know!
My name is John Kingman. I am a Coordinator with the WikiTree DNA Project.
Since you have started following a DNA tag, you may be interested in how you can use DNA test matches with your relatives to strengthen your genealogy on WikiTree. You will find the answers in the DNA Help pages, of which the DNA Help category page shows all the DNA help that is available, and the How to Get Started with DNA page is highlighted. Also the DNA Features page can show you various ways that DNA tests can work with your genealogy. For a detailed guide to connecting DNA test results to WikiTree profiles via GEDmatch, look here.
You may see some relatives show up in your list of "DNA Connections" on your profile if they have added a DNA test to their profile. These DNA Connections are possible DNA test matches, they are not sufficient for marking parental relationships as "confirmed with DNA" without providing a DNA Confirmation source citation providing details of an acceptable DNA match. You may find that you have acceptable matches with some of them. There is more information about DNA Connections on the DNA Test Connections page.
When you are ready to start documenting that your genealogy sources are confirmed by DNA test matches, be sure to follow the guidance at the Confirmed with DNA help page. Note that every time you mark a child's relationship to their parent as Confirmed with DNA you must add a source citation to the =Sources= section of that child's profile that explains how you made the DNA-confirmed determination for their parent.
I strongly recommend using WikiTree’s DNA Confirmation Citation Maker app for creating and/or validating your DNA confirmation source citations. Note that a profile must have source citations for both genealogy and the necessary DNA test matching information when it is marked "confirmed with DNA".
If you have questions or need assistance, feel free to ask on the G2G Forum using the Tag "DNA" and/or "DNA_Confirmation". There are lots of folks willing to help.
