Eric,
For some reason I cannot see any posting in this thread containing Did you
get my results on the Anthony Sears Recording search? except below in your
own posting. Maybe it's a browser issue, but who is Anthony Sears?
As for the Filomena baptism 1850 you refer to, I don't see how that
Rick,
The problem is not with my privacy settings. I have it set for show people
as private for those less than 100 years ago. If I set it as totally
private, the other setting I have a choice of, I would negate the idea of
having a gedcom anyway, right? The problem is with looking at other
Rick,
I just checked mine with another kit I take care of and hardly any of my
tree comes in. It is totally useless to anyone. Until they fix their
program I am going to make my whole tree private.

I just tried looking at a tree from one of my matches and am getting the same

family tree page has a lot of problems and the
Hi Rick,
I will write to ftDNA. I like the old display better, too. I doubt they
will go back because they have invested in this tree. I wonder if it has
anything to do with DNAGedCom or if it is just a coincidence.

Steve,
Sorry, the Anthony Sears stuff was for another Steve. Unless I click the
name on the message it only shows you with first name.
You said in a previous message that you are assuming that your great
grandmother Filomena b. 1851 is attached to the Jose Thomas Carneiro
family, and this is

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

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

Ok, I have 3 exact matches for my daughter in law.
Two are from Pico Island, a Robert Dennis Testa and a John Edward Lopes.
The other exact match from Sao Miguel, is Francis Richard Pimentel.
The contact was a Melinda.
I am new to all of this so any feedback is appreciated.

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.
Nancy P,
You need to email one of the admins for help. Include the kit number and
the name. Daughter-in-law isn't going to help us find her.
Nancy Jean and I are out of town. Kalani or Rick can help. Email Rick.
He's the contact for Francis Richard Pimentel. Not Melinda.

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'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!

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.
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.

The person who contacted her about matches, said her father was an

I'm assuming it is Rick Pimentel.
IF it is him, I will see him at the seminar.
