Re: [LegacyUG] DNA and Genealogy

[Gerry Henningsen]

Another thought about DNA analyses is this: having multiple DNA results from
selected relatives can substantially improve one's ability to evaluate
matching DNA sequences as being real or false - especially for more distant
relatives with weaker matches; multiple DNA results for paternal or maternal
lineages can add weight of evidence to make more confident accurate
conclusions about genetic relationships, compared to only a single
individual's DNA results.

Sorry John Bernacki, I cannot agree. I have had my DNA done and also several
cousins have too. Though the efforts of 4 of us we could verify and document
a new GGG Grandfather.
They knew enough that helped me go to microfilm and locate deed records
showing the sale of land that tied the family together. IF you want to find
new lines, you try all tools.

They use Y-DNA,

If you want to try to find relatives, you can, free of charge, transfer your

take that step because it would be a waste of time.

Frankly, I am disgusted by all the companies misleading people about how

In Legacy there is no specified field for adding your Haplogroups and
regional ancestry, although you could put it general notes etc.

Re: [LegacyUG] Adding 23and Me DNA results to Legacy?

[ger]

Hi John & Legacy Users, 

I understand your frustrations with DNA matching, which I experienced even
worse disgust with AncestryDNA's and other forums' "experts", who honestly
do not know much of what they're advising hapless users (too much of blind
leading blind).

There is one very good place to evaluate your DNA matches, which is quite
good at finding or ruling out potential relatives based on genetic sequences
in Autosomal DNA as well as sex-linked DNA; this site is GEDmatch.com, which
is FREE and has an abundance of great tools to help evaluate details of your
DNA matches with customizable searches of either or both family tree data
from uploaded GEDcom files and uploaded DNA results.  GEDmatch has powerful
yet straight-forward tools to evaluate details of DNA sequences from you and
matches, which you can easily dissect to determine validity of matches
(e.g., amount of DNA sequences, largest sequence, chromosomes involved,
beginning and ending locations that includes positions around centromeres,
etc.).  All terms and procedures have contextual help, to assist you with
your evaluation of DNA Kits and GEDcom files, along with email addresses of
donars if you want to contact them.  GEDcom files for surname matches and/or
DNA matches include names and demographics of the potential matched
relatives with their pedigrees and descendancy charts with links to their
details.  The 3-Dimensional Chromosome Browser and DNA Matrices can really
help you figure out how closely or not your match is between either yourself
and a person of interest or with multiple persons.  

Without GEDmatch.com, I would agree fully with your complaints, that are
generally true about most other DNA sites (I'vs used FTDNA, AncestryDNA,
MyHeritage, 23andMe, Geni, Legacy, and GEDmatch for DNA analyses); however,
GEDmatch has comprehensive tools that can be easily used and customized to
properly and accurately evaluate potential genetic relationships from
matching DNA sequences.  Other sites "lock their algorithms with set
criteria", that they use to only give you their restricted view of persons
with DNA sequences that match yours - to varying degrees that you'll never
know about at those sites, except sometimes in very limited qualitative ways
(e.g., high vs med vs low confidence - undefined, no chromosome locales
sometimes, etc.).

No other DNA analytical site offers such excellent powerful tools as
GEDmatch.com to best evaluate DNA results.  If you would like another
independent opinion on the superior merits of GEDcom match, please see Jack
Mason's blog at his Google blog site:
http://lostodonnells.blogspot.com/?zx=f4eb39d3cfe8ebeb  (you may need to
send him a quick message to get permission to read his blogs), where he
clearly gives easily understood examples with screen-shots about his many
positive experiences in using GEDmatch.com tools tot evaluate matches of DNA
sequences.  As Jack said, "Thank God for GEDmatch!"  It is the only known
current DNA website that enables anyone, including you with your examples,
to thoroughly evaluate DNA results (autosomal or sex-linked) and produce
increased strength of evidence to confirm or refute most potential
relatives.  I hope it works for you, too.

As for 23andMe... none of the autosomal testing companies are included in
Legacy's list.  I can only assume that's because the initial list has not
been updated or perhaps the programmers don't know what use it would

Re: [LegacyUG] File problems

Pat,

The Media Relinker can be confined to search just the drive you have 
your images on but can't be restricted by folder.
The programmer refused to go further than that because of experience 
helping people and finding that their missing media was in all sorts of 
weird folders you probably haven't heard of.


You trim old messages simply by highlighting and deleting in your reply 
the bits you don't want.


As to your other experience, I don't know. You seem to have gone the 
really hard way around to rename some files. Learn to use the Picture 
Centre.

Does that make any sense whatsoever???

GEDmatch is not a DNA testing company so should not be in the list.
There should however be a place (the test Notes?) to record an
uploaded GEDmatch kit ID when the autosomal testing company is
selected.  But currently, since the testing company cannot be
selected this doesn't apply.


What I really want to be able to do, is for anyone who I know has been
tested:
1) tick the box for one of the DNA test companies and then,
2) add the Kit Number and,
3) add the haplogroup and,
4) add what family names the test results relate to, or confirm.


So you need to create a new event such as "Autosomal-DNA test" and
use it to record the testing company, and GEDmatch kit number, etc.
I find this works better than the DNA Records area because it's
visible from the Individual's Information window without further
clicking.


If I can assign a tag or colour to these results, that would be
helpful.


Obviously you could uniquely tag these individuals for a DNA flag but
that would be a separate action on your part.

Millennia could have done so much more to make Legacy useful to
genetic genealogists but didn't, and it wasn't from lack of
suggestions by myself and other ISOGG members!  Why useless DNA
selections were incorporated when no features were using them has
never made sense to me.  Legacy 9 will apparently have a mediocre use
of them in Charting but still nothing really worthwhile.

Re: [LegacyUG] File problems

[Pat Hickin]

Well, now, this is odd.  When I go into Legacy (not using the Picture
Center yet) to check on the missing files, it shows the new file names and
I don't have to change them, just reattach them.  Does that make sense? To
explain further, let's say it tells me I'm missing an 1880 census for John
Brown, I go to John Brown's entry, find the 1880 census entry, click Edit
(there is no picture in the lower right), I right-click on the picture
icon, am told the picture is missing, I opt to browse for the file myself,
am given the "old" filename (*i.e.*, the new, amended filename I had
recently given the image) and all I have to do is to click "Open" and it
reappears (whereas ordinarily I would have to modify the filename to find
it).

I hope that makes sense.

Another thing I absolutely do not understand.  If I go for the option to
have Legacy search for the missing image/file, Legacy does NOT begin by
looking in either of the two folders I use to save my images for Legacy,
but instead looks in folders I've never heard of before.  Does that make
any sense whatsoever???

Also, how do I trim the old messages from this email??

Re: [LegacyUG] Changing Font Size on Printing Pedigree Charts

[Sherry]

It's not possible in Legacy. You might want to submit a suggestion using
the link in the Support section of the Legacy Home tab.

[LegacyUG] Changing Font Size on Printing Pedigree Charts

[Ruth Mohr]

 I am using Legacy 8 Deluxe, Version 8.0.0.501.  I wanted to print out
a 5 Generation per page Pedigree Chart (approximately 22 generations) and
the print is so small you need a magnifying glass to read it on the print
out.  I went to the Font change and increased it from 10 to 12 and then to
14 - clicked on "OK" with each change and the print size did not change.  I
tried changing the print size from small to medium and then to large and
click on "OK" with each change and the print size still did not change.  In
2014 I printed out the 5 Generation chart and it is a nice readable size.
How do I get this to change?  I have tried using the Help Screen and also
FAQ and followed the directions and nothing changes.
 I changed to a 4 Generation per page chart and it is a little better,
but I really want the 5 Generation chart.
 Any ideas how to change the size?  Thanks for any help in advance.

Re: [LegacyUG] Adding 23and Me DNA results to Legacy?

Thank you Dave, that works for me:-)

As for 23andMe... none of the autosomal testing companies are included in
Legacy's list.  I can only assume that's because the initial list has not
been updated or perhaps the programmers don't know what use it would be
because there's basically no test data to record. -- 23andMe is the only
testing company that provides basic Y and mt haplogroup information with an
autosomal test (and unfortunately it causes many testees to believe they
also need those to match!)

GEDmatch is not a DNA testing company so should not be in the list.  
There should however be a place (the test Notes?) to record an uploaded
GEDmatch kit ID when the autosomal testing company is selected.  But
currently, since the testing company cannot be selected this doesn't apply.

So you need to create a new event such as "Autosomal-DNA test" and use it to
record the testing company, and GEDmatch kit number, etc.  
I find this works better than the DNA Records area because it's visible from
the Individual's Information window without further clicking.

Obviously you could uniquely tag these individuals for a DNA flag but that
would be a separate action on your part.

Millennia could have done so much more to make Legacy useful to genetic
genealogists but didn't, and it wasn't from lack of suggestions by myself
and other ISOGG members!  Why useless DNA selections were incorporated when
no features were using them has never made sense to me.  Legacy 9 will
apparently have a mediocre use of them in Charting but still nothing really
worthwhile.
