[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Filtering Family Finder matches within the Azores project

2014-08-03 Thread Isabella Baltar
Good morning all,

I read the blog and found it very interesting, showing new venues to find a 
match. I run it by every project I'm part of and only by my Family Finder, 
as I don't match anyone on my mtDNA, and the results are different from 
what we got on the main page of Family Finder. I need to learn more about 
the triangulation and matrix as well.

I wish every match could post their Gedcom, as several one matching my tree 
don't have it posted.

 Roberta Estes, genetic genealogist, explains today in her blog, DNA 
 Explained:

 She assumes we have no intermarriage (32 separate lines at 5 generations) 
 but you can understand what she means.  She also explains a little bit 
 about what it means to be a match or not.

 Of course, this only works if you are part of the Azores project.  We ask 
 that you order through the Azores project because that automatically joins 
 you.  Some people don't know about projects and are just out there in the 
 main FTDNA database without a home.  So you won't see everyone, but if you 
 have too many matches, the filtering people will help.

Thanks!  I've seen that page, just didn't realize that there was a way to 
do it with the Projects.  But I'm glad that there is, which what I was 
hoping for not realizing it was there all along.
