Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] FTDNA Matches with Multiple Links

[Judy Thompson]

I don't want to reload a new gedcom at this time as I still have lots 
of additions to make to my tree so for now will use your other ideas to 
keep track.  I guess I can do the same for an mtdna match.  Have one 
confirmed link in 1600's.  Thx for all your help.

I'd put the person in my personal software and make a new Gedcom and over
ride what is there on FTDNA. The current tree does not handle endogamy well
at all. Then I'd link the person to the closest relation.

Then go back to your Matches page. By the name, there's an envelope to
email your match, a notepad to make notes, and a goofy tree button. Click
on the notepad and type in something like "2C2R through Manuel dos Santos
and Maria de Jesus; 3C through Jose da Silva and Rosa da Estrella," etc.
Lucky you, you'll have 10 of them. I have quite a few like that. I just use
my genealogy program's Relationship Calculator to help me. Yes, a little
bit tedious. However, there will be a day that I'm 6 feet under. Some other
project admin won't be familiar with my tree but will be able to see my
notes and will be able to assist new project members by looking at the
notes that I left. That's my gift to the Azorean genealogy community after
I'm long gone.

Judy, I'm sure that Cheri can help you with that but it may take a while.
She is working from her phone for a while and may not be able to 'see' the
connections!

[AZORES-Genealogy] FTDNA Matches with Multiple Links

[Judy Thompson]

I have a match showing as a 2nd-3rd cousin with 136 cms of dna. After 
checking I found that the person is related to both my grandfathers on 
both sides of their families and multiple times (something like 10 
links!).    What I'm wondering is if their is any way to mark that entry 
somehow as a distant cousin without having to do multiple links to tree, 
so I won't have to remember that this one has already been checked out.  
Or maybe just do one link to a distant relation and do note re others?  
Any problems with doing that?


Thx for any help.

Judy Thompson
