Repost for Marsha Stringer, stringer at mstringer.net Hi from snowy Boston,
FTDNA ‘In Common With’ search question/problem? This morning: Read Cheri’s message, printed fan chart, ready to cut/tape/color it in : ) Yesterday: Discovered/Experimented with the FamilyFinder ‘In Common With’ Search [select one person to compare w your own results to see who the two parties have in common]. Selected known matches of my husband [paper research and DNA] and ran the comparison for each. Created an Excel page to record the resulting lists. Problem (realized per Cheri’s explanation): Xmatches are in the results of two paternal-line searches (which is not ‘correct’). Am I not understanding ‘In Common With’? I thought the results would help sort some of the unidentified matches in to groups of the identified shared ancestors. Search 1: Male & Male, identified 4th cousins. Husb. paternal line. In Common With results include 1 male and 1 female Xmatch. Search 2: Male & Female, identified 5th cousins. Husb. paternal line. In Common With results include 1 male Xmatch Marsha Stringer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
