I had no trouble at all uploading a full, combined, six-generation GEDCOM to FTDNA on Friday, Feb. 17 - in anticipation of receiving Family Finder results soon, as the result of transmitting my 23andMe raw data earlier, as several people have done. However, this was the first time that I had uploaded any GEDCOM to FTDNA, having no need to replace previously-sent separate maternal and paternal GEDCOMs, which FTDNA said, in a note during the procedure, that it would eventually be eliminating in favor of combined versions. So, there may be some problem when one has to replace previously-sent GEDCOMs. Charles Acree ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2012 19:49:30 -0700 From: Karen Zander <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AUTOSOMAL-DNA] trouble uploading GEDCOM to FTDNA To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]om> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 6:27 PM, Diana Gale Matthiesen <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for letting me know.

I uploaded my dad's combined GEDCOM in support of FF to replace his maternal that existed in support of his mtDNA. It worked. But it may be outside the timeframe of issue. It was posted the 12th, give or take.

I uploaded a GEDCOM of 220 Kb yesterday in support of my mom's Family Finder test results coming out. It looked okay to me, except for one thing - any instances of double-dating in the birth date field caused the privatizing filter to not understand the date given, and the person was privatized, even though they were born hundreds of years ago. The name displayed in these cases was "Hidden", and the birth date given for them was something like "date input error". I did not take any special precautions or measures at all. I simply brought my mom's page up in Family Tree Maker, then clicked on the pedigree button, then selected the number of generations to equal 9 (because that's the maximum FTDNA will show at once in visualization, and because that should be enough for FF). Then I exported the persons shown to a GEDCOM that was named after my mom's FTDNA kit# to the desktop. Then, at FTDNA, I went to their upload page, browsed to find the file, uploaded, and selected the root individual (my mom). It worked as far as *I* can tell, with the exception noted above. And just to be sure, by double dating, I mean the term as defined by about.com thus: Definition: A system of double dating used in England and British North America from 1582-1752 for dates falling between January 1 and March 25. This was common practice because the new Gregorian calendar, which went into effect in 1582, but was not officially adopted by the British and the American colonies until 1752, recognized January 1 as the first day of the year, while the old Julian calendar recognized March 25 as the first day. Thus, dates between those two days prior to the calendar change in 1752 were often written with both year numbers (i.e. 5 January 1712/13).

Yes, I'd run into that, too. I'd forgotten. It used to be that, if you'd entered too much text in the earliest ancestor field, it just got truncated. Now, it won't upload, but without giving you any kind of error message to let you know what's wrong. Terrible web design, and very inconsiderate of users. Maybe that's what's preventing my GEDCOM from uploading: it's too big. I did enlarge it to more generations because I'm finding connections beyond five generations back. I just checked the size of my GEDCOM. It's 120K. Has anyone had any success uploading a GEDCOM of this size?

P.S. I also tried a GEDCOM created by RootMagic4. Same thing, the upload doesn't complete. Is there a size limit?

The GEDCOM is version 5.5, created by FamilyTreeMaker 2010.
Has anyone else had trouble uploading a GEDCOM to their FTDNA account? I decided to replace the two GEDCOM I had uploaded earlier (the separate paternal and maternal ones) with a single, merged GEDCOM. I first deleted the existing ones, then tried to upload the new one, but the upload process doesn't complete. I tried three different times over the span of several hours, thinking maybe the server was just temporarily out of whack. The file obviously uploads, initially, because it presents me with a list of the people in the file. I'm not hiding my identity, and my name is at the top of the list. When I click my name as the test subject, there's a short delay (5-10 seconds), then it all disappears and I'm back to the Home page of my account - with no GEDCOM, at all, attached to my account. I logged in to one of my cousin's accounts, with whom I have a FamilyFinder match, and the GEDCOM icon is there under my name, but when I click on it, there's no genealogy there. It's empty. What could be wrong? I emailed the HelpDesk, yesterday, but I still haven't heard back. Diana P.S. The GEDCOM is version 5.5, created by FamilyTreeMaker 2010. The file is very "clean." It contains only names and "BMD" data (date and place of birth, marriage, and death) - no sources, no media, nothing else. I can't imagine there's anything in the file that would be tripping up software able to import a GEDCOM.

I've tried numerous times to upload gedcoms (ancestors only and only BMD just like yours) for my transfer kits. I also can not add most distant ancestors. I enter the information, click save, and when I check again, everything is blank. I wrote to FTDNA support and was asked to send them my gedcoms and most distant ancestors. That was on the weekend, and I haven't heard back, but I assume they are working on correcting the problem.

Greetings Listmates! My dad's Family Finder test came in recently. I entered his chromosome browser data for 193 matches at GEDmatch. I put a graphic together which displays all 22 chromosomes (in no particular order) at once. The file is here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gbonner/DNA/gedmatch_allatonce.jpg <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gbonner/DNA/gedmatch_allatonce.jpg> I invite interested parties to provide their observations to me on this list, or by private email message. I am particularly interested to know what folks observe vis-a-vis pattern recognition. Cheers, Gregg Bonner Bethany, Oklahoma, USA

Diana - Here are some numbers from my only qualifying case: Matches in common btw my 2nd cousin and me. As of 2/10/12 (with a new one just added) we now have 4 matches in common. (Plus my brother, but we'll leave him out of this for the moment) Note that these 4 shared matches represent 2.3% of my 171 matches and 5% of my 2nd cousin's 80 matches. Match #1 (2nd-4th cousin) I share with Match #1 47cM total, 20cM longest, and that 20cM longest segment is shared with my 2nd cousin My 2nd cousin shares with Match #1 50cM, and the same 20cM longest segment we share in common Match #2 (3rd-5th cousin) I share with Match #2 39cM total, 18cM longest, and the segment we share in common is 9cM My 2nd cousin shares with Match #2 27cM, 11cM longest, and the shared segment is 11cM in his case Note that my 2nd cousin's match with #2 is only (5th - Remote) Match #3 (5th - Remote) I share with Match #3 36cM total, 9cM longest, and that 9cM segment is shared in common My 2nd cousin shares with Match #3 37cM and 10cM longest, and that 10cM is on our shared segment Match #4 (5th-Remote) I share with Match #4 23cM total, 8cM longest My 2nd cousin shares 24cM and 9cM longest We don't have a shared-in-common segment at any level down to 1cM But note that at the >1cM level, my 2nd cousins shares common segments with Match #4 and #1 that *appear* to be identical (same stop/end points and 2.4cM) plus an overlapping segment in that same territory with Match #3 of 2.75cM. Note also that Match#2's sibling is also a match to me, but not to my 2nd cousin And on the subject of variability in amount of DNA shared: My brother shares 397cM total, 69cM longest with our 2nd cousin I share only 274cM total and 49cM longest with him.

That's the information I'm looking for.

What are the odds, not that you both would have *some* DNA from that ancestor, but that you would have the *same* bits of DNA from that ancestor? Pretty slim. If my cousins are any example, it's dropping off rapidly right where FTDNA says it will, at 4th cousins. Diana
I'm just matching people. Diana > From: Jim Bartlett > Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2012 7:40 AM > > Diana > > Are your "matches in common with" at the same Chr > and close to the same segment, or are they just > matched people?
Diana, The count is entirely dependent on the number of matches you have with primary segment share (the one over 7.5 cM) in location where you have share with the cousin, combined with the makeup of the database. For example, the results for someone with a highly admixed ancestry with a cousin related on their Colonial American side would be expected to have an entirely different count than a cousin on their more recent German size. Of course this become more complex if you're looking at persons with allot of ancestors from endogamous populations. With FF you at least have the raw data to get a sense of what this number should be. thks On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 12:31 AM, Diana Gale Matthiesen <[email protected]>wrote: > I think I didn't frame my question correctly.

Diana Do the matches have the same large segment on the same Chr? I was trying to triangulate for an adoptee, based on matching ancestors of of different atMatches - but it turned out the large segment was usually different, meaning they didn't really match on atDNA.

Diana In reading over your table, you state the useful limit of FF is five generations. I think FTDNA uses the term 5th cousins rather than generations. I personally feel that's a conservative statement to be on the safe side of marketing "truth". I wouldn't discount matches that turn out to be more distant on paper. I have several 4th cousins who have taken FF, but don't match me. In fact, despite many successful paper trails with FF matches, I have no confirmations on my BARTLETT line (and a few others). Because there are 9 of us with matching Y-DNA (and E1b at that) from descendants of 4 different sons of our Patriarch 8 generations ago, I know the blood line is true. That's why I keep asking about some atDNA that tends to stay in segments - because I'm coming to believe (in my impatient way) that some DNA may get chopped up more, finer, smaller (pick your term), until, for some lines it doesn't pass the FTDNA atDNA filter.

Diana Are your "matches in common with" at the same Chr and close to the same segment, or are they just matched people? Jim - Sent from my iPhone - FaceTime!
