Ok, so I have a match on chromosome 22 between my father and a known descendant of a common ancestor on chromosome 22 from position 15492342 to 20645312 for a total of 10 cM. Their relationship is distant, but identified. They share a common gr gr grandfather, although through different wives. They also have a common surname and both test into the same group of the DNA surname study. So do I understand that this position cited above can be determined to have come from that common gr gr grandfather and can be assigned to him at this point?

Operator error: I signed in on the wrong account. I manage 6 accounts, one of them has just received the kit and started the process--I accidentally signed in on it instead of one of the 5 kits with a completed FamilyFinder kit.

Well,it was the FamilyFinder I was trying to get from FamilyTreeDNA. I subsequently, and rather quickly, obtained it from another of my sponsored kits. So I am working on that one. Wish I could find more screen shots, though. I'm not certain what the last column represents: I have the Chromosome Browser open in a spread sheet, have eliminated the cm's under 10, and have sorted by 1) chromosome and 2) starting point. >From here, though I have the handout, I'm unclear on how to handle color coding. From left to right, the columns appear to be: Blank, Name of compared kit, number of chromosome, start, finish, no. of shared cm's, and then two columns that I can't identify. I have browsed through the recommended supplemental sites, as well as constantly referenced Cece's handout from the webinar. I'm sorry to be so far at the back of this game, but if someone could point me to the next step, I'd be grateful!

I, too, agree with Diana. NEVER import someone's GEDCOM into your own file. Import it into a separate file, check it, check the sources, verify it, and then and only then if you agree with everything in the file, should you import it into your file. 99% of the time you will want to just copy a few people for the file, or lop off a branch from that file to merge into your own file. You can have as many files as you want on your own computer.

You say "37 markers". DNAGedcom only downloads information from your autosomal DNA.....not Y-DNA. If there are no Family Finder results in the account....the program just doesn't know what to do, so will hang. That may be why you are having a problem.

Yes, it does get confused if you don't have a FTDNA family finder kit. I've tried to get 23andme to recognize when the kit isn't there, though. I should mention that 23andMe recently changed the way that you choose the profile AGAIN and that of course broke multiple profiles again. I'm on travel for my work this week, but will try to find time to finish fixing it. I started some changes but I haven't had a good chance to fully test. -----Original Message----- From: autosomal-dna-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:autosomal-dna-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of CeCe Moore Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 2:15 PM To: Autossomal DNA List Subject: Re: [AUTOSOMAL-DNA] download through DNAGedCom.com Janis,DNAGEdcom is only for autosomal DNA test like Family Finder or 23andMe.

Janis, My understanding is that only FTM syncs with Ancestry.com. We had a discussion of this awhile back on the TMG (Master Genealogist) email list. The consensus seemed to be that the only way to have a sync'd tree on FTM while working in another program is to periodically create a gedcom within the main program and import it to FTM. Most of us would not want all of our data online anyway since much may be hypothetical/unconfirmed or private. I was able to get a free copy of FTM last year when upgrading other software (I think it was an offer with Dragon), and at some point will install it and do the limited gedcom to it to sync with Ancestry, but have not gotten around to it, in part because my C drive is rather full of other programs.

Although the collection on Ancestry.com is indisputably the best, its companion software, FTM, is also one of the most unintuitive and bug-ridden genealogy software available. They are releasing the new 2014 version for pre-order...only in the US at this time. Hopefully, it will fix some of the problems. The FTM version for the Mac will lag behind in time and features, as had always been the case. I have about a half dozen genealogy programs on my computer. Each has a feature that I like. The only feature that I like for FTM is that it syncs with Ancestry.com. There is no happy solution to this conundrum.

I am trying to set up the spreadsheet via DNAGedCom.com download. It says to be patient for up to 15 minutes. Mine has been winding for an hour and is not finished. We have a really nice internet connection, so that shouldn't be it. Though it does occur to me that my husband (a producer of variety shows) is working with music from the internet at the same time--perhaps he is stealing too much bandwidth. : ) Or could it be because this particular DNA kit is only complete up to 37 markers (the rest are still in the works)? Too many matches because of the low number of markers? Clearly, I am new to this. But determined to learn.

Yes, I tried to get the Mac version--I have a new Power Mac, though, and FTM would not install. I think it must not be compatible with the latest build. Thanks for the info, though.

FTM is the only program that directly links to the trees on Ancestry.com. You can upload any Gedcom to Ancestry.com but the only one that will synch with your database is FTM. There is a version of FTM for the Mac.

Yes, it is common for people to share GEDCOMs. That is, in fact, the purpose of the GEDCOM format: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEDCOM But for me, accepting someone's GEDCOM doesn't mean I import it into my database, it just means I have it available for reference. The problem with importing someone else's GEDCOM is that you may find you've imported a lot of "garbage," not just lots of people you're not related to, but a lot of bad connections. I got burned, once, early on, and I will never import a GEDCOM, again. If someone is worth adding to my database, it's worth my time to keyboard them in, so I can examine the entry carefully in the process.

Yep as long ad you own the tree yourself. -----Original Message----- From: "Eric S Johnson" <crates@oneotaslopes.org> Sent: 9/24/2013 5:09 AM To: "autosomal-dna@rootsweb.com" <autosomal-dna@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [AUTOSOMAL-DNA] AUTOSOMAL-DNA Digest, Vol 3, Issue 174 > Another Ancestry question.

With sync turned on will > the Ancestry tree transfer to FTM OR will the blank FTM wipe out the tree on > Ancestry? If you start with an Ancestry.com tree (as I did) and buy a copy of FTM 2014 (as I did), you can then give FTM your Ancestry.com credentials, and FTM will download the Ancestry.com tree into FTM and establish a "synch link" between the two. An FTM license says it's good for installation on two PCs. But an Ancestry.com tree can be "linked" with only one of those PC's FTM instance. The synch between the two (the Ancestry.com tree and the .ftm file on my PC) appears to be two-way; i.e. each time it synchs, it uploads to Ancestry.com any changes I've made on my PC, and it downloads to my PC any changes made (by invited editors) to the online tree. It synchs automatically when I launch or quite FTM, and I can click on the "synch now" button in FTM's upper-right-hand corner if I want. Once I got my Ancestry.com tree into FTM, I found I could use FTM to import a GEDCOM file; FTM would compare the GEDCOM with my existing .ftm file and find the matches, then offer to me to "merge" the imported .ged into my .ftm, letting me make choices about the data for each overlapping person (same as when adopting into your tree via FTM from data from Ancestry.com "hints"). Does anyone ever use this method to share information with newly-discovered relatives who have their own tree? "Hey, can you export that branch to a GEDCOM and e-mail it to me so I can 'merge' it into my .ftm?" (Sorry if this is an old question--I'm a newcomer to the list.)

Another Ancestry question. I understand an Ancestry tree will sync with Family Tree Maker. Is this a two way sync? Suppose one has a tree on Ancestry and buys a new copy of FTM that is blank. With sync turned on will the Ancestry tree transfer to FTM OR will the blank FTM wipe out the tree on Ancestry? -----Original Message----- From: autosomal-dna-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:autosomal-dna-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of CeCe Moore Sent: Monday, September 23, 2013 1:35 AM To: Autossomal DNA List Subject: Re: [AUTOSOMAL-DNA] 23andMe's 1000-match limit Hi Joe, No, I was answering Ruth's question regarding whether anyone can access Ancestry.com trees.

Hello, I am curious to how much research time you would spend or how many generations back you would try to go on an in-laws line? I did the test on a cousin and I am related to him on his fathers line. I have some research on his mothers line but I don't want to spend a lot of time researching the mothers line as it doesn't help me with my goals, however I don't want to just put up half of a pedigree. Also I will be managing the kit so if people contact me about the unrelated lines how do you handle this. Thank you Ann G.
I once thought this about a cousin's other line but later found it ancestral to me since cousins married cousins. In my case, since we are Ashkenazi, both of my parents and each of my in-law's are all related to each other, to some extent, and my father, mother's father and father-in-law are extremely close on the Y-DNA (Ashkenazi Levite - possible Khazarian royalty convert?). In my case, going back on my in-law's will connect with me. Not sure I will ever find the records that take me back to that point, though.
