Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Getting rid of the Private people in the new Family Trees on FTDNA
Hi all, I find it interesting that it's their problem all of a sudden! YOU have uploaded data with private information to a third party. That third party has decided to apply a filter on that data that you don't like. Fine, So you decide to filter out everything on the data they present to others. Have you ever considered that you should have applied that filter BEFORE you uploaded that data? I'm pretty sure your genealogy program allows you to 'anonymise' living persons. Just export a GEDCOM filtered the way you like at the source and you shouldn't need to worry about having FTDNA come up with filters that suit your taste.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Getting rid of the Private people in the new Family Trees on FTDNA
Joao C, Actually, FTDNA prefers that you NOT make it anonymous on your end when creating the Gedcom and then to chose the privacy settings when you upload it to their site. Many people mark the living private when creating the Gedcom. They upload it to FTDNA and they ask if you want the living to be marked private. So if the user says yes again, it is UNMARKED private, because it undoes the previous command/setting/tech thing. Tish, I don't understand why you say FTDNA is doing a breach to our privacy. They aren't installing anything on our computers. They aren't stealing banking info. They give us the choice as to what we want to share or not share. However, their directions about how to do it (paragraph above) isn't clear at all.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Deleting your Gedcom from FTDNA (and uploading)
I'm getting these questions privately and I can't answer them all. If they go to the list, there are 4 list admins (one is on vacation still) who can answer, and sometimes quicker if I'm at work. If you need to take your Gedcom down to upload a new one (because you have more info or you fixed an error, etc), you follow these steps. Log into FTDNA. Click on the Family Tree button in the middle of your screen. Next screen, look for the GEAR symbol lower right corner (above the word Legend). Click that (left click once). One of the options is to delete your Family Tree. Pick that. I think the next screen asks you to confirm. Then to upload, I think you go back to the main screen, click on the Family Tree button in the middle. Right away, in the lower corner, it asks if you want to upload a Gedcom.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Getting rid of the Private people in the new Family Trees on FTDNA
João misinterpreted my statement. The breach of privacy isn't the fault of the company, it's with the IT's. I am very much a fan of the company, I have had nothing but positive feedback from them. The people they have got to do their programing are the ones I'm hot at (throw a rotten egg at them for me). The breach I am talking about is this sort of thing. (They upload it to FTDNA and they ask if you want the living to be marked private. So if the user says yes again, it is UNMARKED private, because it undoes the previous command/setting/tech thing.) The breach statement is that you have given them your name, your parents name and in many cases all of your parents pertinent information (date of birth, where they were born, etc.). Much of this type of information is used (or used to be used) in setting up bank accounts, and who know what. I'm not really saying these things are still used, but this type of information could surely be used for identity theft, or some other scam where the scammer has information you have unwittingly provided. They should have made sure the program wasn't causing this type of information to get out no matter what you checked. Maybe they should have had a pop up telling you what you were about to do by checking private. I'm just frustrated with their system and until it is fixed, this is my fix. Tish João, in ways you are right. I can give them anything I want, but when I am working with a company (who I trust) I expect that company to act with my best interest at heart. In the further I will make my gedcom with my parameters as I want them. I personally don't think I should have to do this, but I get your point. I still does not change my stance at this time. You say now no one can look at my stuff, this is true, but all they were getting was PRIVATE when they looked anyhow.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Getting rid of the Private people in the new Family Trees on FTDNA
Tish I understand your frustraion. So I am only including myself without full birth information, then my deceased parents and ancestors to my GEDCOM. I am not adding my living cousins (other than those tested) as their deceased parents are showing and I figure if someone gets that close, they can tell where we match or not at that point. That way I do not have to worry about private or not private. Yes it will take me a little more to prepare the GEDCOM but then I know what is showing. This is my solution until I find a better one. I do know that if I want to match up to the 2 cousins that I have had tested, I will have to include them in my database, but will do it without there full birth information (year only).

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Getting rid of the Private people in the new Family Trees on FTDNA
Joao C. Ventura (Tombo guy) can explain it better. It's not FTDNA. It's the way computer programming works. If you tell a computer program to do something (in this case, hide a birthdate), and then you take that information and tell a 2nd computer program to hide the birthdate again, we as humans know what we want. We want to be sure that the birthdate is hidden. But with computer programming, it only knows 2 things: Off or on (binary code). So in one program, you turn it off, send it to the other program and turn it off again, it can't. It can only do the opposite and turn in on. It's like a light switch. You can turn it on and the light does not go on (burned out bulb). You can't turn it on again to be sure it's on. You can only turn it off and then try to turn it on again. That's what it's like (sorta) with computer programming. I'm not a computer programmer. I took a BASIC class over 30 years ago. Joao (Tombo) can give a much more correct explanation. You can't tell a computer program to do the same thing twice after it did it the first time. That's why I recommend that you just leave the dates in your program ON. Export them out. It's fine. Upload it to FTDNA and turn it OFF there. If you have clean data entry, it will work. And if you don't like what you see, play with the privacy settings or take your tree down until they are done tweaking it more. But they won't be able to make it hide a date after you've hidden it on your end. It just the nature of computer programming. I need to get lunch and go to work. I'll have to play around in a tree to make a better explanation. Cheri On Mon, Sep 15, 2014 at 12:09 PM, Tish M tish.me...@gmail.com wrote: Marilyn, Thank you for your input. I agree with you.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Professor Cunha Sao Jorge Island
Thank you Joao Yes I knew what his work was about as I met with him in 2001 and I connect to that family. What family did he have? I was under the impression he was an only child and had never been married. I am probably wrong.
