Hi Pam,
If you click on the person to see the details you seem to get more or most of the name but there are cases where you only get the woman’s first name such as Maria in tree view and in detail. I am beginning to think they transferred the old data by something other than a gedcom and in the transfer it could not read all the names or if it did it scrambled them. Consider my wife’s first name it is “Man Chun” in tree view it shows as Man Pimentel, in details it shows Man Chun Pimentel with “Chun” treated as a middle name. (I had to go to edit to see this). So in going from the old format to the new half of her first name was changed to her middle name. The only thing I have not tried is to delete the whole tree and reenter it and see what happens. There is a huge problem with the new trees and we need to let them know loud and clear we do not like it. Pam which way do you want to change the number of generations? I see you can try and delete some if you have too many. I also notice that it is not showing all the generations I previously had but I can view more of a line by clicking the branch symbol next to the person. In the old format you had to click on the arrow to see more of the line. Also in the old tree you had numbers for each person so you could refer to a number person when communicating to others. This was helpful if there were people that had the same name. You could quickly know that Manuel de Sousa #32 was your connection and not Manuel de Sousa #84. There is no way to do this in the new tree.

I also noticed (not sure if someone mentioned this already) that both names will not show up for example Manuel de Medeiros Correia it only shows up as Manuel Medeiros. How do you change the number of generations?

Cheri sent it to me to play with and when I sent my comments back to her they were almost the same as hers. It appears that the programmer’s at FTDNA did not hear what we told them. Because it was a Beta test I could only look at the Tree Cheri had and could not look at other trees from the FF matches. The problems I found are no comparison to the ones we are now having with Names showing up as private because there is no death date entered even if the birth date was 1590 and being able to correct the names and edit.

It's clear they took no input from any genealogist nor thought beyond the most simplistic model of how this would actually work.

I have my names entered a certain way - So let’s say I have José de Paiva (the de is showing up in the middle name field for some reason) and you have the same person as Jose Paiva - then we will not link because of the difference in his name? That is what I am trying to figure out. So for me I have no need to change the names in the edit field because I have no idea how someone else would record the name. Rick and I have a known connection that we documented years ago but he is not showing up in my list of relatives. I’m just wondering if this could be why.
