Fred, Could this be that FTDNA has completed the Build 37 update? I know it is due any time and no doubt they want it done before conference. Just a thought.

For those that regularly update their autosomal spreadsheets you might want to run the current version of Family Finder again either your spreadsheet or an older version of Family Finder. I did so with a 10/20/2013 version and found 22 new matches with dates in months before October 2013, but also some dated 2010, 2011, 2012. Few of these were above 10cM. What was odd was that many dates were changed by 1 to 5 days. Why would they do that ? Very strange. I noted many "longest segment" values are changed but few go beyond 2cM. One went from 12cM to 17.5cM but was the exception. Even more "total segment" values were changed but not by much except for close or immediate relatives. I found I lost two matches, both were slightly above 10cM. FTDNA needs to include a " Newly included in your database" feature, at least for new matches with older dates. I would be nice if they alert us of changes in cM values above a threshold, or a change in a relationship range, or even alert us of a new run that may change any of the above. I've sent a query to Helpdesk.

Good point, Emily. I know that they reran the entire database, but I didn't ask if it was Build 37. That makes sense though. CeCe Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
