Here is my admixture from Gedmatch. Not much surprise, except to see some Native American.  Also interesting to see some other DNA I didn't know I had:

The Elusive Augustus Lind -- Brickwall #1 Part 1

The 14-year old boy, a stowaway, arrived in America. He was all alone in the New World, in a city called Philadelphia, in the year 1865. It was nothing like the Sweden he just left.

There is no record of his arrival. There is no record of his naturalization. In fact, there is no record of the first 32 years of his life.

The first definitive record of his existence is in Nevada City, California in December, 1884 where he is getting married to his wife, Elvira Lenora Gillett (whose ancestors can be traced back to Antoine De Gylet of the Huguenots in 1500-1600s Bergerac, France), she is just sixteen.

Together, they had at least seven children, and it is thought that three of them died in early childhood, including young Anne Mariah Lind (20 Jul 1899 - 12 Aug 1899) who succumbed to Cholera Infantum at just 22 days old. The children who made it to adulthood were:

• Thomas Augustus Lind (1887-1956)

• John Albert Lind (1889-1976)

• George William Lind (1894-1943) (my Grandfather)

• Leonard Lewis Lind (1898-1992)

• Viola Lenora Lind (1901-1954)

In 1906, Augustus Lind, aged 58, dies of Gangrene of the Lungs. He had been working as a millman in his father-in-law's mill (William T. Gillett). He left behind a large family, and a large mystery.

Where did he really come from? He had mentioned on occasion that he was a first cousin of Jenny Lind (Anna Maria Goldschmidt Lind), "The Swedish Nightingale". Was this true? There is little known about the father of Jenny Lind (who was born out of wedlock).

So to help solve this puzzle, I've taken a Y-DNA test at FamilytreeDNA.com. I am still waiting on the results of half the test. The three out of six portions of the test that have been completed do indeed indicate he was Swedish and my Haplogroup is most likely I1.

Since Y-DNA is passed from father to son with little to no change, the Y-DNA that me, my son, my brother, and his sons all carry should be almost identical to that of Augustus Lind. And also that of his father, his uncles, his brothers, etc. The DNA will never tell me who his father was (and help fill in the blanks of the story), but it can help point to common ancestors. If I can hop over Augustus to others in Sweden with the same Y-DNA, I might be able to pick up a paper trail that leads back down to him.

Using Gedmatch with Ancestry to find common Ancestors
(This only applies to those with Ancestry accounts.)

It dawned on me earlier today that there may be an easier way to do this, and thought I would share. Please use & test. I think this will help many who feel overwhelmed at the learning curve and don't know what to do with their DNA results.

1) On Gedmatch, do a 1-to-many search. To maximize success, set the minimum cM to 10.

2) When the results appear, sort them by Kit number.

3) Look for all the kits that begin with an "A"... these are Ancestry transfers. You KNOW they have an Ancestry account, AND they match YOU.  

4) Highlight all the A kits (all columns from Kit Nbr to Email), copy, and Paste into an Excel (or other) spreadsheet. This will be your work/discovery plan to go off of. Save it and give it a unique name for easy finding again (damn, I must be getting older to keep these reminders...). *Note: when I pasted into the spreadsheet, I used Paste-->Special and selected "text" to get rid of any formating, html, or unwanted checkboxes. If you have unwanted "stuff", undo the paste and try again.

5) Go back to the web page results and copy the column headings and paste them into your spreadsheet at the top (if you didn't do this before). You may need to insert a row or two beforehand.

6) Get rid of any unwanted columns. And add a few columns for your notes. I use: Notes, Checked for Tree?, Found Match?, Sent Email:, MRCA, ICW, Chromosome matches, etc. (anything you want so you don't repeat work).

7) Sort your new data by Total cM (Autosomal) from large to small.

8) Go to Ancestry.com and try to find your top match in the member directory based on the information you have--if they used a nickname, use that, most people don't change nicknames very often. As with anything, they may or may not be active, but I think these will be more likely to work with you simply because they took the extra step to get their results from Ancestry to Gedmatch--they are a bit more motivated I would think. They may or may not have a public tree (or any tree at all).

9) If you run into roadblocks or can't find them, email them. Try to contact them. Make a note, and move on to the next highest match.

10) You may have to do some of their work for them. (otherwise you would have found the match sooner right?  ). Don't be afraid to create private trees. I create and delete new trees on ancestry all the time. When I am researching someone, after I have found a person to start with, I save that person to my Research Tree as a new person. Then I go back to where I found that person, and save them again, overwriting the person I just created... this will bring in all their relationships and events. This is an easy way to build a tree from someone else's. (Let me know if you need an example). When you find someone you definitely want to keep, save them from your Research Tree to your Primary tree (and all their relationships). When the tree gets too bulky, review it for any keepers, and if nothing, simply delete it.

If they have a fully-developed tree, it is easy to look for recognizable surnames using the Pedigree view of their tree.

It is easy to see someone's direct Ancestors in Pedigree View

11) Make notes on your spreadsheet. When you have a confirmed match, do a 1-to-1 comparison on Gedmatch (using 7cM) to see what Chromosomes are shared. Wherever you are keeping track of your chromosomes (I use Genomemate), make note of the Surname match on those shared chromosomes. If only one, then you can be relatively certain anyone else sharing the same segments is from the same ancestors (or their parents).

Hope this helps! Your mileage may vary...
