Morning Listers, Well, well, well. Because of my rant yesterday about my misadventures with FTDNA, I have now received an email from FTDNA because somebody on the forum allegedly forwarded my post to them. I now have an apology over the incident and an offer to send two free tests. But nobody signed this email, although they are using the same reference number used during the ongoing debacle. So I don't know who I am talking to, although they make reference to the two people who were mishandling this case. So, Mr/Ms Nobody has apologised. Now, who could have reported this, or alternatively, *who is **watching**this list?* If I'd posted my frustrations months ago, I may not have had to endure the inept customer service that FTDNA provide to their Paypal customers. And they have access to my full post because they know I have a Y-DNA kit. Curiouser and Curiouser! Eilish

Please, I have had a great experience with FTDNA. That said, it is not the purpose of this forum to bash some entity that you were not pleased with. Let's get back to Fermanagh and our ancestors!

Hi Jerry, While I am aware that many people are happy with their FTDNA experience, my purpose in writing was primarily to alert anyone contemplating using Paypal that problems will occur. I am not the only one who has had problems with FTDNA and their alleged Paypal facility. Also today's post was to alert people that their personal information is likely being read. It was intended as a FG community service if using Paypal. There is heaps of documentation about FTDNA and paying by Paypal on other sites, which I found out too late. Yes, it's back to Fermanagh ancestors. What families are you looking for, Jasper? Eilish On 26/06/2018 10:35 AM, Jerry Jasper wrote: > Please, I have had a great experience with FTDNA.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they monitor this list, nor would I be surprised if they have an employee searching her/his Fermanagh roots and subscribing to FG. I think we represent a pretty sizeable customer base. Just a thought... Carl On 2018-06-25, at 5:26 PM, Eilish Gmail wrote: > Morning Listers, > > Well, well, well.

Hi, Eilish, I have had the best experiences with familytreedna for several years and multiple tests. I think they really are the best, most scientific company and am worried ancestrydna (which doesn't even test mtDNA and yDNA) will put them out of business because ancestrydna is huge and spends so much on advertising. I hope others on this list will consider using familytreedna.com.

Totally agree Shirley. (Other than their possible PayPal problems) I believe they are the most professional / legitimate company.

I agree with Shirley. I have tested with ftdna, Ancestry, and 23andme. Many who test on Ancestry have no idea how to interpret results. They just want to see the pie chart. There are charts available to help you know the range of centimorgans for e.g. first cousin etc. Centimorgans are the basic unit for matching. A parent and child match for about 3380 centimorgans, for example. Again, look for a You Tube video to explain the basics. More of us Fermanagh people can connect if we all test. I have connected with some 2nd cousins on each of the three tests. However, people testing on Ancestry for the most part are not going beyond just looking at the pie chart.

Hear Hear Shirley. I have never had any trouble with FTDNA althouigh I have paid by credit card. I manage 7 kits. I would also recommend those who have been Y-DNA tested to join one of the FTDNA Projects either for haplogroup, surname or geographic district. My most common surname ‘Wilson’ has been the most successful because of two particular matches who have pushed from their end and have had the help of project administrators. Margaret in Oz. PS I haven’t had any success with mtDNA. Because of the lack of Irish records prior to 1800 and the change of surnames of women, it is almost impossible.
