Been playing! I need to redo my gedcom. And my mom's. I guess I didn't use ASCII characters in the names (had noticed it before) so names like José end up looking like José (If that even shows up here in email...!) It would be difficult to match similar names in other trees.
Some womwn's have double first names... Maria Maria, Rosa Rosa, Joana Joana... Also, For me, it showed my mom as a possible link to me but then for "relationship" I was only given the choices of spouse, sibling, son, daughter. It wasn't clear if the relationship was hers to mine or mine to hers. My mom doesn't show a link to me, but I don't think I'm on her gedcom--I ended it with her! :) I'm on my iPad so I should check it out on my desktop computer. At least this is better than Ancestry--I can no longer view my DNA matches there on my iPad. :) Mary On Tuesday, September 9, 2014, Cheri Mello <[email protected]> wrote: > For those wanting to upload their Gedcoms to FTDNA, you can do it. > > For others, you can play with the new family tree feature. > > Don't know what they did with my 4 hours of beta testing.
