Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree DNA's Holiday Sale (through Dec. 26th)

2019-12-25 Thread Nancy Couto 
Dear Bill Ricardo, 

Thanks for including your Y-DNA haplogroup. I checked my brother’s matches and 
it appears you match him at 67 markers with a distance of 6. According to 
FTDNA’s estimate, there is a good chance we could have a common ancestor within 
12 generations. My brother’s name is Edward Couto Jr., and I manage his 
account. 

You don’t appear to be a match for either my brother or me on Family Finder. 

I will email you privately.

Nancy Couto

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree DNA's Holiday Sale (through Dec. 26th)

2019-12-25 Thread Gordon soares 
Hi Bill:

I know what you mean about Ancestry.com . I have the same 
problem getting info off their site since I cancelled them. I use Family tree 
maker (I have a Mac and can’t use MyHeritage without a lot of goofing around on 
the Mac). Nonetheless,I have found by looking at both MyHeritage as well as FTM 
(and a couple of others) that they seem to have the same data construction as 
Ancestry. However, every time you go to get information such as a “suggestion 
leaf” from Ancestry you get their page to sign up. You have to be a bit cagey 
but I have found ways to get around most of that. I do stay synched with 
Ancestry but don’t know fi that can be done with MyHeritage. I stay synched 
because sometimes it is easier to maneuver in my tree there so UI input my data 
then synch to FTM. Works fine. Hope my experiences help you to decide to leave 
Ancestry.

2019-12-25 Thread Bill Ricardo 
Merry Christmas!

I know this may be a bit outside of the parameters of your regular purview,
but I am hoping y'all can provide some valuable guidance.

I have thus far submitted DNA tests to both ancestry.com and
FamilyTreeDNA.com and I have obtained further YDNA and MtDNA results
(haplogroups G-M201 and K1a4a, respectively) from the latter.  I have
further shared data with MyHeritage.com and GEDMatch.  Up until now I have
used ancestry.com as my primary tree building platform but I discovered a
few months ago that the 1,000 or so photos I had uploaded there last year
at this time had disappeared from the various family member profiles and
they, ancestry.com,  were initially unable to explain why.  Since that
first revelation, they have responded to me via email for additional data
from me about my tree, such as sending them screen shots and the like.
Frankly, I don't wish to commit to that much time to reconstruct the info I
had loaded to the site over what easily took me dozens of hours to
generate.  My thought now is that I should cancel my subscription with
ancestry.com and rebuild my extended tree with My Heritage.

My question is can My Heritage.com provide the same or comparable level of
info that I was getting from ancestry.com if I subscribe to their
"Complete" service level?

Any assistance/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Obrigado/Mahalo/Thanks,
Bill Ricardo
