[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Family Finder Matches and the Population Finder bar
Does that mean I will have to contact them personally through email to find out about my mother's and my Population Finder percentages?

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Family Finder Matches and the Population Finder bar
Bob L, I think so. But I emailed Melinda Lopes' idea to them and I will follow up with a call tomorrow. I still have the question you asked me in a private email about the Population Finder. Something tells me that they're going to wait for the new Population Finder that they've been promising us for almost a year!

Unbelievable! Let´s complain, let´s email them about this stupid decision! And I'm still thinking about the diacritics too.

As long as you're going to bring up the matter, Cheri, let me add my ,02 euros worth: Given there is already an option for user information to be made Private on Family Tree DNA, what not make the match bars also available for privacy or opt out? It seems such a waste to close off such rich information because of complaints from some users. As anyone can readily tell by looking at the various reports, most users are fully public with their information on the site. The site's now you see it, now you don't seems overkill, a massive solution to a much smaller problem.
