where are you seeing on Ancestry that you and your match are sharing 30cms ? -----Original Message----- From: Peter J Richardson via <genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com> To: genealogy-dna <genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wed, Oct 28, 2015 4:22 pm Subject: Re: [DNA] Matches on Ancestry Thanks for the reply. Presumably no way to tell whether the 30 cms is on chromesome 7 or 11? Presumbly the 30 cms is in a single location, not two lots of 15+cms? Does anyone know whether Ancestry have any plans to make this information available?

I imagine Peter is using dnagedcom,com 's tools, Either DNAGedcom Client Tool or AncestryDNA helper, which produce files containing the CMs of all matches (total of all CMs ?) which Ancestry uses to rank your relationship to matches.

Ancestry does not give you cm's to match to. So you cannot use dnagedcom to arrange your matches, since this information is not provided -----Original Message----- From: Michael Fisher <m.j.fisher@btinternet.com> To: Wjhonson <wjhonson@aol.com>; genealogy-dna <genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com>; pjrich.ntl <pjrich.ntl@googlemail.com> Sent: Thu, Oct 29, 2015 1:55 am Subject: Re: [DNA] Matches on Ancestry I imagine Peter is using dnagedcom,com 's tools, Either DNAGedcom Client Tool or AncestryDNA helper, which produce files containing the CMs of all matches (total of all CMs ?) which Ancestry uses to rank your relationship to matches.

Thank you all for the replies.

Where I am coming from is that I did a test on FTDNA last year and I downloaded the results from there into an Excel spreadsheet and using the matches on there I am trying to build a picture of where my sequences come from. For example I have identified that on chromosome 1 one of the sequences 108087714 to 145321460 appears to have been passed down by my ancestor Charles Aldous (1834-1907) whose first wife took her children to Salt Lake City in the 1860s leaving Charles in England. The problem I'm finding though is that the submitted trees on FTDNA are not easy to follow and I suspect that GEDMatch is for the dedicated DNA researcher, so I am struggling to get enough data to identify the many unidentified matches that I have. I thought that the recent testing initiative on Ancestry would make DNA testing more mainstream and with the more extensive trees on there I would find more data to work with, so I did a test on there. I have indeed found more matches including one which the ancestors in common can be found and would like to be able to use this match to make more sense of my FTDNA & Gedmatch matches. I am not actually familiar with the tools Mike mentions (and wonder whether they might give me the information I am after?). I also notice that Ancestry seems to have "DNA circles" for Charles Aldous, and also for his parents but does not seem to have any "DNA circles" for the ancestors I have in common with the new match I have found and I wonder why not. Regards Peter

Hi Peter " I also notice that Ancestry seems to have "DNA circles" for Charles Aldous, and also for his parents but does not seem to have any "DNA circles" for the ancestors I have in common with the new match I have found and I wonder why not. Regards Peter" If you go onto each of you Circle members and view match and click on "shared matches" and follow that line you can find more links. Mike Fisher in a now dry Droitwich.
