Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] ftDNA pet peeve

Two problems exist and one is from the former IT team. Apparently there are some inconsistencies with the blue icon for the tree upload lighting up. Some have trees, some don't (it's just themselves which is weird). I found an example that I can send to FTDNA. I understand that one now. The

Thank you Margaret. I wasn't aware of ftDNA's hand in this. On Fri, Jul 22, 2016 at 1:14 PM, Margaret Vicente wrote: > Cheri, et al > > I think we seem to be going on the assumption that it is the people who > are not participating but I know exactly what seems to be

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] ftDNA pet peeve

Cheri, et al I think we seem to be going on the assumption that it is the people who are not participating but I know exactly what seems to be the problem. Cheri, this is for FTDNA as their new software created trees for all individuals whether they had a gedcom or not. In other words all those

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] ftDNA pet peeve

Thanks, Cheri, I think we all have the peeve about people not putting their GED's on FTDna! It's very disheartening to see that you are connected and then everything on the tree is private or there is none at all. FTDna can ask all they want but it's up to the individual to post the GEDCOM and

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] ftDNA pet peeve

Roberta Estes mentioned something along those lines too in the article I sent the link for (https://goo.gl/H0pq12) Again though, the tree issue is the user's responsibility. Not FTDNA's. Here's some stuff that goes on that I'm aware of as an admin. "Popeye" does NOT want

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] ftDNA pet peeve

I guess I should have explained my pet peeve a little better. i am not really upset. I just don't like clicking on a tree just to find the person's photo as the only entree. I have found many DNA matches that were very difficult to find with a little help from the other person. Nancy Baptista and

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] ftDNA pet peeve

However, it's not FTDNA's fault that people don't email back. The same thing happens on AncestryDNA and 23andMe as well. Not everyone answers back. Sometimes it's them and sometimes it's the sender. If someone is managing multiple kits and the email says "Hi I match you" they have no idea who

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] ftDNA pet peeve

Well, that's not a Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) issue, it's the person who tested who has not uploaded their tree. Here is an excerpt of the Welcome Letter that goes out when someone joins the Azores DNA project: === Welcome to the Azores Islands DNA Project! We are glad you

Good idea Doreen. In the past I have only used the notes to denote an email sent. I will now "flag" those who have no real tree online. Tish On Thu, Jul 21, 2016 at 2:16 PM, Seekgene via Azores Genealogy < azores@googlegroups.com> wrote: > Yes! I've noticed this lately, too! It is very

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] ftDNA pet peeve

I too utilize the posted tree to find relatives. I manage several relatives profiles and occasionally check it on all my profiles to see if I can find connections to the matches. It is make it more difficult to open a tree to find it has one name or just their name and their parents. To help me
