That would be Genome Mate Pro. Also the pay tools are no harder to use than the free ones. I take computationally intense to mean that it has to work harder and uses more computer resources (which cost money of course).

I'm used to the challenges of genealogy, but I don't want to be challenged by software. I don't suppose there is any simple program that allows one to place shared/identified segments on chromosomes. In other words, we have already identified a second cousin with whom my mother shares a number of large blocks so there is no doubt that all of them came from her maternal great grandmother. Likewise for the large blocks of shared by the fifth cousin once removed--also from her maternal great grandmother--and the fourth cousin once removed, from her paternal third great grandmother. > > Lindsey > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Karla Huebner <calypsospots@gmail.com> > To: Lindsey Britton <lplantagenet@aol.com>; genealogy-dna <genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Thu, Dec 3, 2015 8:52 am > Subject: Re: [DNA] Questions about GEDMATCH > > > > Gedmatch gives everyone lots of tools, most of which are not found at FTDNA. The subscription adds a few computationally intense ones. If you use Genome Mate Pro, one of the pay tools at Gedmatch helps you get the data in better. > > > On Thu, Dec 3, 2015 at 8:29 AM, Lindsey Britton via <genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > > No, I wasn't thinking of SNPS--only the personal information which could be inferred from the data--eye color, ethnic, or medical or anything else of that kind. > > How much does GEDMATCH do, if one doesn't pay the monthly subscription?
