Eastern Daylight Time Subj: Re: [Campbell] DNA - another alternative Leonard: I am a participant in the 23andme Relative Finder program. I currently have 327 people who match me on various of my autosomal markers. 53 of them are comparing genomes with me and I have identified either the ancestral couple we share, or the common surname we share with 6 of them. The relationships run from 3rd cousins to 10th cousins once removed. In the latter case it has confirmed our descent from a couple in VA in the mid 1600s. This also allows me to confirm some other descents from my paper documentation. FTDNA's Family Finder will work in the same way. To get the most benefit from using it you need to know as much as possible of your full ancestry. I suggest that you have at least a 6 generation pedigree chart to exchange with people who match you. One is available here: http://www.misbach.org/pdfcharts/pedigree_chart.pdf that you can download, save, fill out and email to people who match you. If you use genealogy software it can probably create the chart for you. Only you can decide if it is worth the cost, but I have found 23andme's Relative Finder useful and I expect to get even more connections from FTDNA's Family Finder since the FTDNA database is larger and most people in the database are genealogists.

A.T. Where is he trying to submit the chart? Is this the chart I linked to? If so, he should save it and he emails it to the people he matches.
