Robert, When you do both, that is, when you take the Family Finder test *and* transfer in Ancestry's autosomal data, do they appear separately on your member page? Or does FTDNA do some kind of "merge"? (I obviously haven't had any of my members do this yet.)

Diana, I only did the autosomal test at Ancestry and had it transferred to FTDNA. Not sure if the matches I see at FTDNA were due to other Ancestry transfers or I'd they just did the FTDNA FamilyFinder test.
