Silly me...I got confused with the "add relationship" feature. I thought that when it showed a DNA link with someone in your tree that you clicked there. Today I went to add myself as my mom's daughter to her tree (I had not gone beyond my mom on her Gedcom). I was able to add myself to her tree there. But the possible link icon was not there today.
I'm sure we will learn how this works someday. :) Mary On Tuesday, September 9, 2014, Mary Bordi <[email protected]> wrote: > Been playing! > > I need to redo my gedcom. And my mom's.
