25 marker DNA test is still a perfect match, they are going slower, maybe just to torture me!
37 marker should be any day now!

Don (Wilbur) Albright perfect 67 marker match
There can be no doubt that Don (Wilbur) Albright is related. He matches perfectly on the 67 marker test. That is the most markers compared. It is rare that two people would match that closely and not know they were related. 95 % predictability that we are related within 6 generations.(We are not within 6, I figure 7 or 8) Don is probably 2 generations closer to our common ancestor than I am. I was expecting 66 out of 67 maybe, but the Albright gene must not mutate as easy(ha ha). Anyway Don (Wilbur) Albright and I both have ancestors from York County, Pennsylvania in the late 1700's. I am still waiting for the 37 marker test for Kenny Albright a descendent of Felix Albright that matched perfectly on the 12 marker test.
Now Don (Wilbur) Albright has had relatives that believe that they are descended from either Felix Albright or his brother Henry, I believe you must throw the brother Michael into the mix, not forgetting to mention another brother Jacob.
Well if we both match with Kenny then we know we are in the right family that are also in York County Pennsylvania. Johannes Albrecht being the immigrant coming in about 1743. I have recently obtained information that is about the Von Habsburgs, they were a Royal German family that ruled many areas of Europe. In it that have this Johannes Albrecht mentioned in Neerach, Zurich, Switzerland. The document is all in German and am working to translate it once I am sure it is our line. Now I don't care if I have Royalty, but it can help in researching our line back as far as is possible. So you can see that the DNA testing can really lead to some great things.
However, if we don't match with Kenny it is back to the drawing board! A lot hinges on his results! And yes if he matches on 37 I will order a 67 marker test!
Should have Kenny's results in the next couple of weeks!
Little info from wikipedia
The dynasty is named after the seat of origin, the Habsburg castle in the Swiss Canton of Aargau. The origins of the name of the castle are uncertain. Most people assume the name to be derived from the High German Habichtsburg (Hawk Castle), but some historians and linguists are convinced that the name comes from the Middle High German word 'hab/ hap' meaning ford, as there is a river with a ford nearby. The first documented use of the name by the dynasty itself has been traced to the year 1108.[1][2][3] The Habsburg (aka Hapsburg) Castle was the family seat in the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries in the former duchy of Swabia, which incorporated present-day Aargau, at the time of the Holy Roman Empire. From southwestern Germany (mainly Alsace, Breisgau, Aargau and Thurgau) the family extended its influence and holdings to the southeastern reaches of the Holy Roman Empire, roughly today's Austria (1278–1382). Within only two or three generations, the Habsburgs had managed to secure an initially intermittent grasp on the imperial throne that would last for centuries (1273–1291, 1298–1308, 1438–1740, and 1745–1806).

HAPSBURG
| or Habsburgboth: hăpsˈbûrg, Ger. häpsˈboork, ruling house of Austria (1282–1918). Rise to Power The family, which can be traced to the 10th cent., originally held lands in Alsace and in NW Switzerland. Otto (d. 1111) took the name Hapsburg from a castle near Aargau, Switzerland, when he was designated count. Vast estates in Upper Alsace, Baden, and Switzerland were inherited (1173) by his grandson Count Albert III (d. 1199) and passed to Rudolf II (d. 1232) and Albert IV (d. c.1240). The extinction of the houses of Lenzburg, Zähringen, and Kyburg facilitated family acquisitions. The election (1273) of Count Rudolf IV as Rudolf I, king of the Germans, provoked war with King Ottocar II of Bohemia. Ottocar's defeat and death at the Marchfeld (1278) confirmed Hapsburg possession of Austria, Carniola, and Styria; these lands and the Austrian ducal title were declared hereditary by Rudolf in 1282. In 1335 Carinthia too was claimed. Possession of these dominions marked the rise of the Hapsburgs to European significance. Held in common by the sons of Albert I and of Albert II, the many lands were divided, after the death (1365) of Duke Rudolf IV, between the Albertine and Leopoldine lines (named for his brothers). |
