I share DNA with Peter Zeeman, I am seeking Pieter Zeeman, Peter is close to my age looked at his family tree he has a bit of a tree for his mothers side fathers side goes no farther than grand father Why? He lives in Netherlands, why the unusual spelling dropping the i. Either way he is my third cousin. I have found fourteen Pieter Zeeman's so far.
A month ago his tree was private, now he has a partial tree. I guess he is aware I'm looking dropping a hint without being to blatant. I guess his dad did not want are you related too. I get it from STEM educated people who meet me, I just answer I have no idea.

The most common surname in my family is Minderhoud I did a comparison of the females who had this families DNA and found one interesting pattern most of them they all shared chromosome 12, with the centimorgans grouped together this did not exist with the men most who would have died prematurely. looks like I am a carrier of this my brother and sons are not is this in some way related to me being an Aspie.

Just added another Pieter Zeeman to my family tree fourteen now So close but so far. Lots of other interesting stuff.
having fun connecting with my cousins, One swears I'M some sort of genius, not the case brighter than typical, good at connecting dots. Still not sure what genius is, why I started a thread, its more than IQ. I think my one cousin is on the spectrum, maybe both. 2nd cousin is university lecturer, fourth cousin is a air line stewardess.

Observing and interacting with my grand daughter at 18 months, see signs of a gifted child, how gifted too early to tell. Some stuff she currently does stuns me very quick learner. Thank God her mother has a PHD in education and experience in teaching gifted kids. My learning disabled son made a good choice in finding her, his fiancee

Watching lots of u-tube videos on gifted kids have to get up to speed fast, lots of misinformation I'm learning fast.
my brother and sister may also have gifted grandchildren It appears gifted kids are like us Aspies brain wired differently more than just IQ if boat missed kid screwed. It is not the kid who answers questions right but rather the kid who confronts the teacher and says you are wrong and here is why. My older brother was like this he would argue with the math teacher knew the subject better than the teacher in high school.

LInda Silverman is a good lecturer on giftedness. seeing myself in lots of her stuff, not what I was looking for content, just be the student.
Woman from Texas reached out to me via myheritage she was adopted parents died she has no idea who her biological family is. getting details from her is a bit disjointed she has names from ancestory.com looks like a maze of details mentioned 7 and 8th cousins told her this no use DNA is only significant to maybe 4th cousin. apparently she has been trying to find her family for 38 years. I suspect her natural mother was married or had a one night stand in the 1970's and she was given up for adoption so lots of secrecy. Adoptive parents now deceased and the maze of names confusing her DNA test led her to me. Me being autistic and her NT causing confusion I like to ask direct questions and expect direct specific answers. She tends to give bunch of names back like adoptive parents names which unless it was an interfamily adoption is not helpful. I like puzzles or in this case a maze knowing sexual mores
in the seventies "free love" will help me figure this out. Some of the names she has given me connect to 4th cousins.
which I found out later were names of some of her adopted relatives. Only significant name was a second cousin
no relation to me so she having DNA matches and genealogical info is causing the confusion.

Last night I resolved this ladies adoption puzzle neat just needed enough information she spent 38 years on it took me a few days but that is my superpower connecting dots Now she is going to think I'M some sort of genius. Do I tell her I'M on the spectrum?
The more I observe my grand daughter The more I realize she is gifted in some way. My son and his fiancee also noticing. My parents raised 6 gifted kids no body recognized this at the time, real trick is to make sure she gets properly socialized always a chance of profoundly gifted. 6 months will tell.
My distant cousin just told me her birth day was january, 7. 1970 which would make her conception date April 1969

Just connected her to lady Roelse through Ronald Jay Zeemans son. David Zeeman 4th cousin. Why does everything connect at the 4th cousin level.
Getting close to ten generations on all significant surnames with our trees solved a few anomalies. Even helped a distant relative who was adopted. Interesting picture sent to us a few years ago contains my wife's dad head down two of her aunts sitting, just left behind her dad and another good looking lady sitting at the end of the second row who has the same surname as my wife's grandmother. Obviously passing, great back story we resolved. wife's second or third cousin. Lots of confusion on her ethnicity, aunt states bad pic, uncle swears she is Caucasian. Her family came from Alabama, moved north. I told my wife's her family they have rose coloured glasses, would love to hear opinions. I know black and white pics can be misleading. The family surname from this branch of the family is German from Switzerland, came to USA for religious reasons. Her paternal aunt and this lady have very close family resemblance both very good looking like my wife.

MInderhoud is now the most common surname in my family tree. yet it does not show up obviously lots of kids being born so Minderhoud women marrying into family. What is wrong with the males. Unable get into relationships. Very weird. Are they Aspies.
Based on what I Have seen on my stuff anything past fifth cousin, starts to gets tenuous.
Just found out, my nephew, who was taking a masters degree in engineering got the award for top student in his class. More proof my family is not typical, five generations of very bright people.

Something to note about Ancestry.com and 23&me (before the latter went out of business) is every time you come back and check your profile it changes ever so slightly. the reason is new profiles are added to their databases everyday which changes the predictive algorithm for your own profile. Why? I'm not 100% sure but in addition to existing DNA standardised profiles based on population genetics (prior to both companies being setup) the level of confidence in aligning your DNA profile either goes up or down depending on new profiles, with similar allele patterns, I think there's a % of DNA in these profiles which are unassigned or low probability. If hypothetically somebody new shares those unassiged alleles then the database program assigns you together and maybe adds a new ethnicity (e,g. now you have 2% Eskimo in your ancestry). However I have seen some people on Youtube claim to be one day 40% Irish and 5% French and three months later they are 15% Irish and 30% French. So not sure what's happening there?

I know people who are South Asian who have 100% south Asian on both DNA companies. this seems a little too much statistical noise for some reason as the diversity of people in this region (who number in the billions) is enormous.
Also curiously twins have ended up with different profiles which is kind of weird since they are genetically identical. Interestingly dopplegangers who are physically indistinguishable (they look like twins) have been found to not share very much recent ancestral DNA at all.
