Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Finder's new matching tool (on FTDNA)

OK, let me think about this when I'm fresh in the morning. Maybe it will be better if I do a Word.doc with screen shot captures for you guys to follow. And I may not be clear either. I just learned how to do this myself, so I'll need to adjust my explanation until I mostly get it right. Cheri

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Finder's new matching tool (on FTDNA)

I had the same sort of problem as Elaine. The family tree is unusable with my iPad so I was using my desktop computer. When I dragged, the person was left floating there, unattached to anyone. I could figure out what to do with it. I had other problems, too. I need to update my tree so I will

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Finder's new matching tool (on FTDNA)

hi Cheri, I tried following Method 1 and obviously missed something. I tried dragging someone over to my tree and it put that person in the place of the common ancestor. I had to re-upload my tree to fix that. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, perhaps with the drag? But whatever I tried

(Cross posted to Azores, Madeira, IslandRoutes) Janine Cloud, who works at Family Tree DNA, said, "DNA testing has opened a lot of doors. Some of those doors are closets." We like to use DNA testing to confirm our paper trail and find new cousins. We like to help others too. It's a great tool.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Revoredo

So much has happened since this post. It turns out that this lady is my paternal grandmother's sister, so that makes her my grand aunt, and she married my first cousin 3x removed. Once I was able to confirm this, it's been branching out nicely. Monica :) -- You received this message

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Finder's new matching tool (on FTDNA)

NOTE: After dragging the match over to your tree and saying "Self" you will click the Confirm or OK button. I think it's on the left. I can't see mine, as it's below my task bar. I'd have to make the screen smaller (and thus unreadable) in order to see those dang buttons. Cheri Mello Listowner,

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Finder's new matching tool (on FTDNA)

Sorry about that. I got into explaining the screen shot and then didn't tell anyone how to make it work. Method 1: 1) Upload your Gedcom back about 10 generations. Include everybody for those 10 generations (or whatever you have. Something is better than nothing). 2) After the Gedcom is uploaded,

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] BIRTHS AND MARRIAGES BEFORE 1839 FOR Ribeira das Tainhas

You will find the vast majority of such records in either Vila Franca - Sao Miguel or Ponta Garca, because Ribeira das Tainhas was on the border between the two villages. JR On Tuesday, November 15, 2016 at 11:47:26 AM UTC-5, carmen furtado wrote: > > hi cheri > > the records for Ribeira

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] BIRTHS AND MARRIAGES BEFORE 1839 FOR Ribeira das Tainhas

I know that Carmen. I've done a lot of research in Ribeira das Tainhas. As I worked my way back in time, the record that I found in Ribeira das Tainhas told me that the person I was after was from Ribeira Quente. So that's where I went. However, I answered your question the first time. Cheri
