hi Cheri, I see the adds now - it's interesting, as I tried the purple paperclip (as good a name as any) and it had replaced one of my ancestors with the person I clicked on) so I think we might be doing some beta testing for FTDNA.
I do think a word doc with step by step screen shots will help people (ie, me!). As a secondary question, on the Matches tab, how does the system allocate people to the Paternal / Maternal / Both tabs? I would have assumed that once you added people onto the tree that it would reflect there, but it looks to be separate. Thanks for all your help with this - its been interesting!
