DNA
Paternal relationship is confirmed by a Family Tree DNA Family Finder test match between Dagmar Thorisdottir and her father Living Steingrímsson. Predicted relationship from FTDNA: Daughter/Father, based on sharing 3381 cM across 267 segments.
Maternal relationship is confirmed by a Family Tree DNA Family Finder test match between Dagmar Thorisdottir and her mother Living Sveinbjörnsdóttir. Predicted relationship from FTDNA: Daughter/Mother, based on sharing 3379 cM across 266 segments.
Paternal relationship is confirmed by a triangulated group on MyHeritageDNA who share a 21,5 cM segment on chromosome 8, consisting of Dagmar Thorisdottir and Guðfinna Sif Sigurðardóttir, her 4th cousin 1x removed, and Daníel Agnarsson, her 5th cousin. (Guðfinna Sif and Daníel are 4th cousins 1x removed.) These matches have been independently verified by Dagmar Thorisdottir and Guðfinna Sif Sigurðardóttir via the MyHeritage Chromosome Browser. Their most-recent common ancestors are Guðmundur Pálsson and Rósa Jósafatsdóttir, the 4x great grandparents of Dagmar Thorisdottir and 3x great grandparents of Guðfinna Sif Sigurðardóttir and 4x great grandparents of Daníel Agnarsson.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships.
Maternal line mitochondrial DNA test-takers:
Dagmar Thorisdottir:
Family Tree DNA mtDNA Test Full Sequence, haplogroup K1a4a1b, FTDNA kit #IN40907, MitoYDNA ID T10669[compare]
It is likely that these
autosomal DNA
test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Dagmar:
100.00% 100.00%
Dagmar Thorisdottir:
Family Tree DNA Family Finder, GEDmatch T069061[compare][compare x], FTDNA kit #IN40907
No Hard Breaks due to GAPs.
Minimum segment threshold size to be included in total = 100 SNPs.
Mismatch-bunching Limit will be adjusted to 60 percent of the segment threshold size for any given segment.
Largest segment = 4.8 cM
Total Half-Match segments (HIR) 90.2cM (2.514 Pct)
My mtDNA oldest known ancestor is a total brick wall, where it should be possible to get, at least, one generation further.
She and her father moved parishes, and there are no sources to tell from where they came. The combination of their names does mean that they would be recognizable in sources. I guess there are no sources for them. So I'm hoping that one day I get a mtDNA match that is close enough in time so I can connect the two.
So we can probably trace our ancestry back to Denmark, through the settlement of Iceland. That probably means that my maternal line has been in Iceland since the settlement since about 900. How cool is that :-)
Nice hearing from you.
That's typically Icelandic. We are all cousins, multiple times. :-)
But not a lot of them on Wiki Tree. Do ask if there is anything I can help with, regarding Icelandic genealogy. There are great sources available, but you have to know where to look.
Hilsen, Dagmar
Thanks for getting back to me.
I am starting to see that what you said about... 'We are all cousins, multiple times' is very true.... Wiki makes it easy to see ones cousins.
Thanks for the offer of help, I do appreciate it. Take care.
I just went thru the WikiTree News feature of a few weeks ago. Supposedly we are very distant cousins with Harald Hardrade Sigurdsson (1015-1066) through some of my father's ancestors (Ogle) and with a "connection" of 29 degrees through some of my mother's ancestors (Stoner). To be honest, i find this a bit unlikely. Is there anyway i can prove or disprove this, even just a bit? I do know the Ogle branch of my tree is very old and distinguished. But it is English and i have never seen any names from the Scandinavian countries. it would be cool if true but i just doubt the relationship.
I have my GEDmatch number and use a number of different genealogical websites. I am sure you get a lot of requests for assistance and i am not in a hurry, but if you would be so kind as to let me know how i can possibly prove/disprove our relationship. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Hi Dagmar I’m new to wikitree but I’ve also done my DNA through family tree dna plus I’m a member of Icelandic roots. On Icelandic roots I found that we are 7th cousins a minimum of 4 different ancestors. I’m interested in the Iceland project takk
Igår fikk jeg se den tavlen hvordan vi er i familie gjennom 31 trinn.
Jeg så en artikkel i Genealogen, medlemsbladet an Norsk Slektshistorisk Forening i Norge om Wikitree og hvor
spennende det virker, så jeg tastet inn en del av slektstavlen:
mor er norsk, far er tysk
jeg var genealog og arkivar 1985 til 2017.
Nå leder jeg Arbeitsgemeinschaft fuer Mitteldeutsche Familienforschung
og tar meg av kirkearkivene i nærmere omkrets av hjembyen min.
Jeg håper du forstår nok av norsken min,
dansk kan jeg lese men ikke snakke,
og oldvestnorsdisk (vikingspråket) tok jeg noen lekser 1975 - 1980 i Muenster/Vestfalen,
det er ikke så mye jeg husker.
Hello Dagmar! My name is Anji & I am a writer & creator. I am currently doing research for a new project. My research has lead me to you. I am trying to find out as much information as possible regarding Fanny Horatia (Serle) Twiss Bacon Delane. She was the only wife of famed editor John Thadeus Delane of The Times (London), and according to wikitree, your distant relative. To my knowledge you are her only living relative. I am curious if you might know anything about her, or if there are any artifacts/belongings of hers that may still exist.
Any information you might be able to share with me will be most gratefully cherished!
Hello, Dagmar. How wonderful to learn that I am related to you (as a very distant cousin), particularly since I am currently going through the literary catalogue of Ragnar Jonasson!
Does anyone know exactly how the gedmatch “ people who match both kits, or 1of 2 kits. I know there is some connection.or is there a better tool on wikitree.I like to check the wiki email list of relatives-degrees. Interesting and fun.
Example: a list of people matches both kits ( Dagmar Thorisdottir and others on this profile)
I know most of these are distant connections but it’s mostly how I was able to build a family tree is with the help of distant and some close relatives.
Wiki tree is more difficult for me to navigate but also building a tree isn’t as easy as say the large one I have on ancestry.
Wikitree has no DNA-matching features. What they do have is a way for you to link your test to your profile and mark the Ancestors that you have confirmed through DNA.
But this also gives you the possibility to utilice all the DNA-testing-sites.
Getmatch "people who match both kits, or 1of 2 kits" simply lists all the common matches between two kits. They also list kits that only match one or the other.
This is the same as 'Shared matches' on Ancestry or 'In common with' on FTDNA. The difference is the list that only matches one or the other kit.
This is a very strong tool to help find the unknown matches that might help you to confirm a branch.
"Genealogy used to be a very solitary hobby. Now I seem to be working with somebody on just about all my projects. I have gotten to know some nice genealogists that have the same idea that this isn't my tree but our tree. And I love helping people find their ancestors. I've actually broken down a few walls for other people."
By the way, I visited Iceland once many years ago and loved it. I have many fond memories of the people I met.
We are not using Category:Recycle_Unknowns anymore. Would you do please change the category on Thurid Thorida Eyvindsdatter (0500-) to just Category:Unknowns? I cannot do it because I do not have the pre-1500 badge.
I thought you'd like an explanation about Halldor Laxness. I recently posed a question about matrilineal lines. Knowing that Icelandic genealogy goes back to the Vikings, I wondered if I could find a Wikitree profile for someone from Iceland. When I Googled "famous people from Iceland", I found him. I expected a Nobel prize winner to have a profile, but I was surprised to find that he had no parents. I was also surprised that his last name was Laxness and not father's-son. Had you ever heard of him? Anyhow, thanks for filling out his profile, just in case anyone ever looks at it.
Halldór was born Gíslason, but took the name Laxness and later adde Kiljan as well.
Everybody knows him ;-) We had to read at least one of his books in school.
He was a colorful person and choose to make up his own spelling rules, so his books are difficult to read. The translations have the accepted spelling and are actually easier to read. He spoke with lots of 'pauses' so it took for ever to finish a sentence.
His books are great.
When I finish Halldór, I think I'll look for some of the other world famous Icelanders, at least in Iceland and see of they need some work.
I looked at the editing history on his profile. It was started in 2014, and mostly consists of being moved in and out of various categories. But in a few days, you have added his family tree. Your story makes him come alive, so I hope you add that. Maybe an Iceland sticker. Thanks again.
Marty Acks will be leading the Musty Dusty 2020 Clean-A-Thon Team again this year. I hope you will consider joining us again or for the first time. It is coming up again in 4 short weeks from April 24-26.
Dagmar, making more than one thousand contributions in September added so much to the breadth and depth of our Shared Tree. The Appreciation Team thanks YOU!

How is it going so far, were the Member How-Tos pages helpful or did they leave you with questions?
Clicking your green tags shows members who follow that tag. Add tags other family surnames, for locations and Interests. The more tags you add the more links to community & research options Information on tags is on page one of the How To pages.
We want to help you learn about the site and the community, hopefully you found the pages and links useful.

Thanks for volunteering! You are now a full member of the WikiTree community, and can start adding your family. Let me know if you have any questions.
Since WikiTree is different from other genealogy sites, we have a guided tour for new members at New Member How-To. Feel free to work through the How-Tos at your own pace.
Once you add profiles to WikiTree they become searchable and in my experience persons interested in these profiles will contact you and may provide further information to expand your family tree.
Great to have you on board, enjoy, and good luck growing your branches.

But for you and me I compared our mtdna at GEDmatch:
Comparing Kit T069061 (Dagmar Thorisdottir) and Kit PV4597513 (Monica MacKeachan) [FTDNA]
No Hard Breaks due to GAPs. Minimum segment threshold size to be included in total = 100 SNPs. Mismatch-bunching Limit will be adjusted to 60 percent of the segment threshold size for any given segment.
Largest segment = 4.8 cM

26 shared segments found for this comparison.
616626 SNPs used for this comparison.
55.344 Percent of SNPs are full identical.

Greetings from beautiful British Columbia :-)
Apparently we are cousins.
Dagmar and Michael are fifth cousins once removed
Dagmar Thorisdottir and Michael Chopek are both descendants of Guðmundur Jónsson (abt.1747-1811).
We also have 12 ancestors we share.
Small world we live in.
