RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree DNA's new family trees (Gedcom) is up
Hi Pam, If you click on the person to see the details you seem to get more or most of the name but there are cases where you only get the woman’s first name such as Maria in tree view and in detail. I am beginning to think they transferred the old data by something other than a gedcom and in the transfer it could not read all the names or if it did it scrambled them. Consider my wife’s first name it is “Man Chun” in tree view it shows as Man Pimentel, in details it shows Man Chun Pimentel with “Chun” treated as a middle name. (I had to go to edit to see this). So in going from the old format to the new half of her first name was changed to her middle name. The only thing I have not tried is to delete the whole tree and reenter it and see what happens. There is a huge problem with the new trees and we need to let them know loud and clear we do not like it. Pam which way do you want to change the number of generations? I see you can try and delete some if you have too many. I also notice that it is not showing all the generations I previously had but I can view more of a line by clicking the branch symbol next to the person. In the old format you had to click on the arrow to see more of the line. Also in the old tree you had numbers for each person so you could refer to a number person when communicating to others. This was helpful if there were people that had the same name. You could quickly know that Manuel de Sousa #32 was your connection and not Manuel de Sousa #84. There is no way to do this in the new tree.

You can edit names and information for individuals in the Family Tree In either Family View or Ancestry view, click on the person, click view profile The edit button is at the top. You can then correct spelling, names and birth and death dates. You can add photos. I doubt that FTDNA is going to fix the spelling issue on their end, so I'm going through my page and fixing them.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree DNA's new family trees (Gedcom) is up
Denise, Is Rick not showing up in your list of DNA relatives, or in the gedcom program? If it is in the DNA relatives maybe you just didn't get enough of the same DNA. If it is in the gedcom program I would say they have a great deal of tweaking to do before their program is usable. I do think they are trying, though.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree DNA's new family trees (Gedcom) is up
I wonder if it could be due to how FTM wrote the Gedcom. When I write a surname into my program I try to avoid the issue of screwing up the surname by entering the d' or de, do etc on the first line name. For example... I enter José de on the Given name of the FTM program. And Paiva on the surname. I wonder if by entering de on the middle name section is what is causing it not to match.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree DNA's new family trees (Gedcom) is up
Edgar, I went into my file and changed the mistakes also. I had the double surnames and I just deleted the middle one and it comes out alright. My problem is that the women with the given name and a religious name was not showing on the main page. I went it and put the Sao Joao or de Jesus in their surname field and it comes out correctly on the main 'tree'.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree DNA's new family trees (Gedcom) is up
FTDNA seemed to have overreached with this Family Tree function. It's clear they took no input from any genealogist nor thought beyond the most simplistic model of how this would actually work.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree DNA's new family trees (Gedcom) is up
Eric, I don't think your statement is completely true. I have been in contact with ftDNA today. Cheri has already stated that she did 4 months of Beta testing. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. In this case, you can tell the designers what you don't like about their program, but you can't make them change it. Here is what they said: Our beta test was completed by people with both computer and genealogy experience, then we released the Family Tree to about 10% of our most regular users for further testing. Sometimes all of the best planning and testing still does not catch all of the problems, unfortunately. We are getting much of the same feedback regarding names and sizing of the tree and I will add your comments to the mix. Thank you! I then thanked them for the quick response and concerns. This was their reply: Tish -- Anytime! I love getting honest feedback from our customers, especially when it backs up what we've been telling the designers. Thank you for *your* time!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree DNA's new family trees (Gedcom) is up
Oops. I thought Cheri tested the beta version for 4 MONTHS. I thought that enough time... but, 4 HOURS is probably not enough time. When I was testing new programs for work we would run both programs for at least a few weeks, before using the new one. It was a lot of work, but was well worth it.

I thought that when it showed a DNA link with someone in your tree that you clicked there. Today I went to add myself as my mom's daughter to her tree (I had not gone beyond my mom on her Gedcom).

I guess I didn't use ASCII characters in the names (had noticed it before) so names like José end up looking like José (If that even shows up here in email...!) It would be difficult to match similar names in other trees. Some womwn's have double first names... Maria Maria, Rosa Rosa, Joana Joana... Also, For me, it showed my mom as a possible link to me but then for relationship I was only given the choices of spouse, sibling, son, daughter. It wasn't clear if the relationship was hers to mine or mine to hers. My mom doesn't show a link to me, but I don't think I'm on her gedcom--I ended it with her! :) I'm on my iPad so I should check it out on my desktop computer.

I told them not to assume the last name in the field was a last name. So they deleted it. I now have several women just named Maria. And low and behold, I'm not even connected to my mother! We share DNA, yet we have ZERO people in common in our family trees. Really? It's the same database! Play around with it. Make a list of features that don't work for you (because they did it from a North American centric point of view). I'll tell you were to send it next week. You can discuss it, but give Rick and Kalani some time to play around with it themselves. They were not beta testers and Kalani is on overload from work and Nancy Jean is not back from the Azores yet. And I'm out of town. So save up your suggestions!

I would play around with it for a few hours and send them feed back. Then I'd play around with it for a few hours more. I'm guessing I did about 4 hours. Over the course of a month. Nah, more like 6 hours. I think that IT/Engineering may get beat up at the next FTDNA conference!

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree DNA's new family trees (Gedcom) is up
Hi Denise, I do not seem to recall that we ever established a connection. I know we both have people coming from Achada. We do have a common match with George Mello So we are related somewhere. This new family tree thing on FTDNA is very frustrating in trying to track down connections. In looking on the admin page I was able to find one kit (91556) which you administer. Is there another?

It appears that the programmer's at FTDNA did not hear what we told them. Because it was a Beta test I could only look at the Tree Cheri had and could not look at other trees from the FF matches.

We share DNA, yet we have ZERO people in common in our family trees. Really? It's the same database! Play around with it. Make a list of features that don't work for you (because they did it from a North American centric point of view). I'll tell you were to send it next week. You can discuss it, but give Rick and Kalani some time to play around with it themselves. They were not beta testers and Kalani is on overload from work and Nancy Jean is not back from the Azores yet. And I'm out of town. So save up your suggestions!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree DNA's new family trees (Gedcom) is up
Been playing! I need to redo my gedcom. And my mom's. I guess I didn't use ASCII characters in the names (had noticed it before) so names like José end up looking like José (If that even shows up here in email...!) It would be difficult to match similar names in other trees. Some womwn's have double first names... Maria Maria, Rosa Rosa, Joana Joana... Also, For me, it showed my mom as a possible link to me but then for relationship I was only given the choices of spouse, sibling, son, daughter. It wasn't clear if the relationship was hers to mine or mine to hers. My mom doesn't show a link to me, but I don't think I'm on her gedcom--I ended it with her! :) I'm on my iPad so I should check it out on my desktop computer. At least this is better than Ancestry--I can no longer view my DNA matches there on my iPad. :) Mary On Tuesday, September 9, 2014, Cheri Mello gfsche...@gmail.com wrote: For those wanting to upload their Gedcoms to FTDNA, you can do it.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree DNA's new family trees (Gedcom) is up
Mary B, Yes, keep on playing and making a list of things. You got double first names and I got the middle name dropped. As a beta tester, I reported the José showing up as José. I sent it to them both as ANSI and ANSEL. Just add it to your list of things that you found with the trees Yes, your mom doesn't show as a link because you ended with her on that Gedcom. I had my mom's DNA kit listed as H. Louise. In my Gedcom, she is Helen Louise. That is why it wouldn't link her. I had to change it. So if have Joe Mello and you have him as Jose de Melo, with the same birth and everything, it may not show the link. Altino's my dad's 2nd cousin, but I have the surname as Mello and I think he has it as Demelo, so it won't show Altino as a link. This is a problem. Ugh.
