I too have had a decent response rate at 23andMe, but it has been nowhere near what Eric describes. Perhaps he has a better invitation than mine! Or perhaps it is a matter of sharing more than 30 cM. Very few of my family's matches fall into that category, and some who do are unresponsive.

Nice to know I'm not the only one with such positive responsiveness and results using 23andMe Eric. My share/response rate is similar to yours. I've not and wont test at ancestry.

Good morning Robert, Thanks for the feedback. Another challenge but seems actually welcome right now as I am just awake again and looking at this from this side of yesterday. Like having a hangover I imagine. I did not know what you've just shared with me and I guess I will feel the ramifications as the days go by. Believe it or not I don't recall ever seeing any discussion about changing email addresses at 23andme or I perhaps would have been more wary. I have only posted on 23's forums a couple of times until recently and joined several of those in the last couple of weeks to try and keep up with this new 23andme coming down the tracks like a runaway train seemingly from all I had heard before joining the forums and more so since joining same. However, with the index card system I have maintained with all my 23andme matches from day one, I have built a really good system for knowing who my matches are with and what grandparent line they fit into on many segments. I no longer worry about where they actually fit on the browser once I have recorded the details seen the initial match and recorded same. They fit into a zone. Those that are not so easy to ID are still narrowed down to where they WILL go. Plus I usually cc'd myself on most lengthy messages I shared with matches along the way. I hope these are a help in the future 23andme. I enjoy this work a great deal and I think this is why I felt so distressed with my issues yesterday. Must baby 23andme! Thanks to everyone on all the message boards for tolerating my public outcry even though most had no choice I do very much value the freedom of expression granted to all of us no matter what our issue may be. A very valuable freedom. ;-) Linda On Tue, Dec 1, 2015 at 10:05 AM, Robert Paine <rpaine@vom.com> wrote: > Linda > I do not know if you have noticed yet but when you change the email > address you break the existing sharing links for the profile that you > changed the email address for.

Good to hear! Just in case others are wondering about the original statement of one profile per e-mail address, that applies only to the new community forums, where you can have only one community nickname per account. I actually like that, since it will save myself from accidentally posting under a different profile (like I used to do all the time in the old forums). If you have more than one profile who would like to post, I suppose you could pick a broad nickname like McKee_Family and sign each post with your given name.

I believe I have created a personal vendetta by 23andme Customer Service towards me after I mistakenly tried to change my son's email address to remove his account from my account. After reading the 23andme moderator comment that only one account would be allowed per email address on the "New Experience" I tried to make that change on my account while I am still a part of the old 23andme and once I changed the email address from my son's account both my account and his vanished. All day yesterday I attempted to correct this with 23andme Customer Service and back and forth with two different women in customer service who eventually became hostile because I was talking to them from the third account I manage-------my deceased husband's account that I have always managed and he never the first time signed in with-----the second customer service rep basically shutting me off because I was contacting customer service on the only account I have left to contact them with. I have never been so frustrated in my entire life. All this just from trying to change an email address. Linda Stanfill McKee

Ditto.I'm holding off until after the first of the year at least...and I too manage MANY accounts at 23 and have only done health info on a couple - sat down with family who answered questions for that part. 99% I have skipped the health info and opted out.

List 16 new mtDNA sequences from FTDNA customers who have chosen to make their own submissions to the GenBank database. The sequences belong to Haplogroups: H-G16192A, H1a7, H1c1, H3af, H5a1j, H6a1b3a, H7, H10e1, H16, I1a1a, I1c1a, I2a1, K1c1b, U5a1, W1-T119C, W1c1 As usual I have added the sequences to my 'Checker' program to ensure accuracy of transcription.

Greg, I had 2 failed attempts yesterday to send an email to a YSearch user. They also appear in a DNA project with a low kit number, I wondered if their email address might have changed since they entered information on YSearch, causing the failed contact attempt. I don't understand computers, and computers don't understand me. I don't know what various error messages mean. As to work arounds, if I can't contact someone via YSearch, I put together all the known information about the person from YSearch, FTDNA Projects etc, and see if I can find out any more information from Rootsweb trees, phone directories, Facebook, surname message boards, googling, etc. I do often have success from these alternative directions. As I know the marker scores for the missing YSearch users, I have a look through 3 projects I administer for any participants who are 12 marker exact matches, and if I find one, I am able to look for their matches in the FTDNA customer database, and if the missing person turns up as a FTDNA customer database match, then sometimes that gives me a means of directly contacting them. If the missing person is listed in a surname or geographic or haplogroup project, sometimes I have emailed the project administrator, and appealed to their good nature, and asked if they would forward on a message to them. I know project administrators are busy people, so I always try easy alternatives before contacting them, I always look at a failed attempt to contact someone via YSearch as a challenge! It is more fun trying to find an alternative way to contact someone or their family, than doing crossword puzzles. As long as I am trying to find alternative means, I don't have time to feel frustrated. I use my iPad a lot, and many FTDNA web site functions don't work on iPads. Just try ordering a test, or opening a FTDNA sale coupon by an iPad, and you will learn the definition of "frustrating". If I have a failure at interacting with FTDNA systems from my iPad, I usually climb my stairs, blow the dust off of my desk top computer, and have another try. FTDNA should have a large public health warning on the top of all of their web pages stating that using iPads to interact with FTDNA web sites may cause damage to a persons mental health. Some functions do work on iPads, so when individual features don't work on iPads, you do not always immediately realise that the cause of the problem is FTDNA incompatibility with iPads. John.

It has been awhile since I've used ySearch, but I've just noticed that when I try to send a message using "Contact this user", I am getting "500 - Internal server error". Have others noticed this, and if so, do you know if there are any workarounds? Thanks in advance, Greg

My mother had a half sister whom I called, tongue-in-cheek, my half-great aunt. Sorry that's not at all definitive, but I could resist.
