Hi Listers I've had my results from Ancestry DNA for some time but never bothered to upload a family tree- making it hard to connect with anyone. Is there anyone on the TMG list that would be willing to point me to a family tree they have uploaded to Ancestry from a TMG gedcom? Terry has some great info on his tips page that is really going to help but I was hoping to see an actual example generated from a TMG GEDCOM. I want to upload a very limited amount of info and it would be very helpful if someone that's done this would point me to their family tree. I have already used a flag to generate people to include- so that part isn't an issue. Thanks, Sydney Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

Syndey, The Ancestry I have attached to my DNA results is at: https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/150721759/family I don't recall that I uploaded it. I suspect I entered it manually since there are no sources and only birth and death info included. The tree I did upload is at: https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/47110828/family I uploaded this nearly 5 years ago in hopes of making some contacts with other researchers. So far I haven't received a single inquiry, so I'm not rushing to upload more. The DNA tree on the other had I think is useful, at least I use them when I follow up on matches. For me at least, I generally don't try to contact matches that don't post a tree because I assume the owners have no actual interest or knowledge about their family history. Terry Reigel

Hi Terry & also Alan Thanks- very helpful. I think I need to do a more limited tree then I first thought and will concentrate just on the DNA tree. I agree about not worrying about DNA possible matches that don't have trees posted, which is why I wanted to upload a small amount even though I basically distrust Ancestry and all the bogus "research" that's generated there. Hey- I did see where your notice, discussed in your Tips, shows up in the profile view Terry! I greatly appreciate your help both now & in the past- Sydney Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Tuesday, January 15, 2019 7:16 AM, Sydney via TMG <tmg@rootsweb.com> wrote: > Hi Listers > > I've had my results from Ancestry DNA for some time but never bothered to upload a family tree- making it hard to connect with anyone.

I uploaded a direct-line, non-sourced tree with limited info when I did the DNA, so I'd have something for people to look at. It has brought me many "cousins" and Shared Ancestor Hints. Quite useful. I started the tree with me, and I am the only living person on it. https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/47608383/family/familyview - Sally Houston On Tue, Jan 15, 2019 at 6:17 AM Sydney via TMG <tmg@rootsweb.com> wrote: > Hi Listers > > I've had my results from Ancestry DNA for some time but never bothered to > upload a family tree- making it hard to connect with anyone.

I uploaded 10,000 people in august 2018, hotchkin 8-11-18, am still adding pictures and going through adding Citations. Their Hint system has much improved ancestry results and accuracy. Their computer selection is finding Citations that I never could have found; but you do have to check every one as mistakes are made.

I uploaded two very small family trees to link to Ancestry DNA tests. These trees were created by uploading GEDCOMs. Because I have a personal family history web site using Second Site and highly customized TMG sentences, and because Ancestry does not handle sources, I wanted it to be very "bare bones," with a pointer to my personal web site. I used a tip from Terry Riegel, and added a "custom tag" to point readers to my personal site. You can see my output at https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/24587406/family and also at https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/150930350/family Regards, Cheryl Freeman On 1/15/2019 6:16 AM, Sydney via TMG wrote: > Hi Listers > > I've had my results from Ancestry DNA for some time but never bothered to upload a family tree- making it hard to connect with anyone.
