In my first Genealogy Tutorial video I go over the DNA painter tool What Are the Odds (WATO). This is a genetic genealogy tool used when a DNA tester has multiple genetic matches from a specific family tree but it is unknown how to tester fits into the family. The website for the tool is www.DNApainter.com/tools. The tools don't require a login, so you don't need to create a username to use them.
To build the tree start with the most recent shared ancestor of the genetic matches and build down to each genetic match. Once you have placed a genetic match in the tree be sure to include the amount of shared centimorgans (cM). After entering all genetic matches, begin entering your hypotheses. Use what you know to help determine the best places to choose your hypothesis, such as centimorgan amounts, birthdates, and any other information available. Each hypothesis will be given a score based on the likelihood of that match versus the other hypotheses. Anything that isn't possible in anyway is given a score of 0. The higher the score the more likely that is the position of the DNA tester in the family tree.
The tool doesn't account for endogamous populations, double cousins, 3/4 siblings, or other special genetic relationships. Be sure not to add any genetic matches with less than 50 shared cM total. It can skew the results greatly, especially if it is an Ancestry DNA genetic match that may have been affected by the Timber algorithm.
