Greg Just to clarify, I use my standard message (not the 23andMe one) which gives my name, email, link to my Public Tree, GEDmatch Kit, and links to resources for atDNA beginners. I replace the 23andMe message with mine for each invite - it takes a little longer, but I think it's worth it. It's tiresome now trying to resend to all by tomorrow night Jim - www.segmentology.org > On Nov 9, 2015, at 11:11 AM, G. Magoon <gregm4584@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks very much Shannon and Jim.

The "conversations" with these anonymous matches can currently be accessed through "View conversation" link (under "Introduction Accepted") on the right side of the DNA Relatives screen, as shown in one of the screen captures on Shannon's blog post (or through the Inbox/Sent/Archived messages). > > As for the introductions/invitations, I'm not sure that the genome sharing invitation messages can currently be accessed by the sender. But, the outstanding DNA Relatives introduction messages, can, I think, be accessed through the "View" link (next to "Cancel"), beneath "Introduction Sent" in DNA Relatives…I think they also appear in the "Sent" section of the messaging system. It seems clear that the "introduction" messages will all be going away with the transformation…but not a big loss from my perspective…like you, I almost always use the standard introduction, and even in cases where I didn't, it doesn't contain anything that I don't already know. > > Greg > >> On Mon, Nov 9, 2015 at 10:33 AM, Jim Bartlett <jim4bartletts@verizon.net> wrote: >> Greg, >> >> I'm curious.
