Julie, I answered about my efforts to create an accurate list to another email - so I hope you run across it. If not, I will find it and send it. You make excellent points. Since I help members one on one, I get a unique insight into the problems each face - which are quite diverse. The common theme, though, is recruiting participants. Those that have established relationships with persons with the ONS surname(s) are at an advantage initially in the project, until they get to those they need to recruit whom they don't know. I had an inquiry from a member years ago who couldn't recruit anyone. I asked him to send me his letter and emails. I went through them - they would scare anyone to death since they had too much information. It was like reading a Ph.D. Thesis on DNA. I rewrote everything to keep it simple. He rejected that idea, and wanted to keep sending his thesis. You can't win them all.

As someone who knows relatively little about DNA (and is administrator for two projects) I wonder if there is a Guild listing or spreadsheet of those in the Guild undertaking DNA studies? I would have thought such a list would be available, especially with the hard work Susan has undertaken on behalf of the Guild, but I can not see any such list in the members room. The reason for this is really as a way we can learn from each other, & not just because of this current situation & development. We have a variety of DNA studies, all in various stages of growth & it would be useful to understand why some studies are very active, whilst others are not. As the theme for the 2015 conference is about Collaboration, you can not get much more collaborative that a successful DNA study. Whilst the issue about FTDNA is current & important, I feel members need to understand the opportunities for their DNA projects & any potential ramifications. We have a huge wealth of knowledge from our members & experts; Debbie, Maurice & Susan. If we take that wealth of knowledge as a foundation & the experience of members who run projects, we can all benefit & hopefully grow successful DNA studies if we wish to as a sub set of our individual ONS's.

Debbie, Thank you for adding the default items to the Google docs list. I agree. I think the cross-talk issue arises from me not providing the history of the situation. Therefore, below is the history of the situation to help everyone put what transpired in perspective, and to also understand my approach to this situation. I was involved in the initial beta of about 50 customers. It immediately became evident that there were two aspects, as documented in my initial email, that would be detrimental to Guild projects and their ability to recruit. I was faced with two choices: 1. Lobby to make these 2 items optional for everyone 2. Lobby to provide an option to exempt Guild members from these 2 items I looked at the situation, and calculated the odds. By far, the best odds was choice 2, exempt the Guild. I felt that I had a 99% probability of achieving that objective. So that it was I did, in pursuit of my number 1 priority, of ensuring that Guild members have the optional environment for success, and success is based on the ability to recruit. Then the beta was released to the customer base, and many people had the same concerns as I did. As you mentioned, a group list was put together. Luckily, Family Tree DNA is acting on many of the issues raised. It is very important to keep in mind that there was NO GUARANTEE that Family Tree DNA would take this action.. It would have been derelict of my responsibilities to have gone merrily along, thinking that once the beta hit the customer base, the issues would have been resolved. I don't think this approach is what Guild members want me to do. There are still details to work out to ensure that all privacy issues are addressed and the defaults are set correctly, In addition, this adds to the already complex Project Administration system, to get everything set correctly, for each Guild member, especially those starting out. It is a positive that the customer reaction has motivated action by Family Tree DNA. It is important to keep in mind that there was **never** any guarantee, where by my choice of providing an opt out option gave Guild members a **guarantee**. I wanted to notify members sooner, since I made the deal on January 20th, but I was, unfortunately, too ill to write a coherent posting. I will notify the opt-out list as to the status of all the issues once we are close to April 16th, or if the issues have all been resolved sooner.

I thought you were implying that Guild members would have the ability to opt out of MyGroups altogether whereas in fact you are referring to opting out of specific features of the new MyGroups system. The ability to opt out of the activity feed and to switch off the member list was activated on Friday. I checked the settings before posting to the list and I can confirm that both these features now work. If members are having trouble making the necessary changes then of course it would be a good idea if they could write to you for help. These changes can be very confusing and you offer a wonderful support service to our members. We've found that the most effective way to get a response from FTDNA is to collaborate and submit consolidated feedback rather than having individuals bombarding them with the same suggestions and that's the reason why the Google Docs file was started. The consolidated approach worked in this case and FTDNA responded within 24 hours to make the necessary fixes. I agree about the default settings and I've now updated the feedback document to include the following two high priority items. 1) Allow individuals to opt out of having their name displayed in project member lists. At the moment members who do not wish to have their name revealed to other project members have to withdraw from the project if the admin has chosen to make the member list available to the group. This should be an opt in feature and not an opt out feature. 2) Restrict the member list to project administrators by default. Making project members' names available to other project members is a major change to the previous privacy settings and should not be implemented without individual consent. As you say, MyGroups is continually evolving and I'm sure many new features will be added in the months to come, and that our feedback will be taken into account. Best wishes Debbie

Anne Thanks for the clarification. We obviously need to try and encourage everyone to update their study details so that we can have accurate lists! Does the website listing also draw on the member's study details? http://www.one-name.org/cgi-bin/members/ons-database.cgi Debbie

The DNA listing is indeed still being maintained but it's not dependent on the Profile page. What it uses is the member's study details - see the Members Room Self-Service tab - Your study details - Describing your study. http://www.one-name.org/cgi-bin/user-maintenance/studypropsfrontpage.cgi This lists all your study characteristics, including whether your study has a DNA component and a DNA website. I could add that it's one of the "study principles" that study registrants accept, that they should keep their study details up to date!

Hi Tony, For whatever reason, it appears that the 1870 federal census for New York State, New York County, was enumerated twice -- first in August 1870, then again in January 1871 (note that the printed "0" has been overwritten with a "1" on this and other pages of the second enumeration). The second enumeration included only name, age, gender, occupation, and place of birth information, omitting additional information that was included in the first enumeration. The second enumeration appears to have been conducted for all wards in New York County (you can see this if you click on the "Township" drop-down box at the upper left of the page on Ancestry -- i.e., the hypertext that says "New York Ward 9 District 15." Like you, I've never seen this before -- I wonder if there was an error in defining district boundaries in the first enumeration? -Mark Bunch (GOONS #6223) ---------------------------------------- > To: GOONS@rootsweb.com > Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2015 14:08:38 +1300 > Subject: Re: [G] -1870 USA Cenus?? > From: goons@rootsweb.com > > Sorry folks, I have made an error so wish to try an correct that error.

Debbie, Step 8 of the DNA Getting Started email covers listing their DNA Project with the Registrar, by using a link. As far as I can tell, from just testing it, the link still works. You do NOT need a profile to list your DNA Project, though there is a different step in DNA Getting Started to set up a Profile. If they don't get to step 8 - then don't expect many or any participants. They may have established a project to protect their registered name(s) and plan to spend time in the future on the project. The best solution is for members to list their project with the Registrar. Then we would have an automated list. Maybe not 100% accurate - but better than I can do. I have spent a lot of time over the last decade trying to make an accurate list - and it is impossible. There is no automated way for me to know if a member joins with a DNA Project, the registrar needs to manually inform me, if they even know. There is no automated way for me to know when a member doesn't renew, the registrar needs to manually inform me, which just started recently. Until then, I had to annually audit logos to see if they were still members, which is extremely time consuming.. If they start a project on their own, there is no way for me to know. People have also listed projects that exist for their surname, that they aren't even involved with. When I discover a DNA Project for a member, some don't even answer my simply inquiry for some basic information. I could go on and on about the issues. I gave up years ago on having an accurate list.
