In an attempt to find common ancestors with my FTDNA matches, I try to use Family Finder but it is nearly worthless.
1. Most DNA matches do not have a published tree.
2. Posted trees are populated with private members so no matches are possible.
3. Posted trees are at most 4 generations, and I need to go 5 or 6 generations back.
4. Emailing a match yields no reply.
5. Most of my FTDNA matches are not on Ancestry or GEDmatch.
Grumbling and griping. I know these problems are not FT correctable. Nor is a code of conduct workable.
Just frustrated.
