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.

Thank you Eric for your comment. I have my names entered a certain way - So
let's say I have José de Paiva (the de is showing up in the middle name field
for some reason) and you have the same person as Jose Paiva - then we will not
link because of the difference in his name? That is what I
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
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
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
I just never put in de or da in my family tree or gedcom names for
this very reason. The reason is to avoid this very problem. De or da is
only a preposition and it only means of.

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.

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
When I was beta testing, that purple band-aid link would disappear on
me. What is that thing?

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.
Tish,
I didn't say they didn't solicit input from genealogists, I said the didn't
take the input.
The naming difficulties are not unique to Portuguese research, it's big
problem for any Latin American and Scandanavian naming forms also.

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!
LOL
On Wed,

Have you noticed whether the program tries to connect the woman with the
same religious surname?

Hi Cheri,
I have the issue of not connecting due to spellings I guess. I have tied in
with Altino and Rick, among many others on the list, and they do not show up as
connections. Any suggestions
I agree Cheri, IT (used to be called MIS) but didn't like the connotation,
will hear a lot. Don't be surprised to see the old family trees back for
awhile LOL.

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.

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
