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

[AZORES-Genealogy] Thank you Cheri and George

Thank you Cheri and George for the excellent genealogy workshop at RIC on Saturday. I got some good pointers/ideas about where to go next to try to find the freguesia for one of my lines. Best, MaryAnn -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode,

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

[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

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Dutra from Faial

Hi, It took me awhile, but finally found the info, on the census. My husband never remembers, any mention of great aunts, Laura or Mary. He would have to ask cousins about it. Unfortunately, I still don't know your families surname. Don't keep me guessing. Lol Thanks, Nancy -- For options, such

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

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

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Professor Cunha Sao Jorge Island

Marilyn, He passed away about 5 years ago. The last I heard from his research is that the family was interested in having it published. His work is about the descendants of Guilherme da Silveira / Wilhelm van der Haagen in São Jorge Island. João M. Ventura Terceira

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Getting rid of the Private people in the new Family Trees on FTDNA

Marilyn, Thank you for your input. I agree with you. Maybe I will do the same. I guess I just don't like having to manipulate my data because the programers can't get their act together. Personally, I don't know why they changed their trees in the first place. I think they just thought adding

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

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. On Mon, Sep 15, 2014 at 11:32 AM, 'joao ventura' via Azores
