One sort of new match, that I didn't pay much attention to, and is on or about page 6, shows an interesting surname. It is German; Klingenberger. Ah yes, I remember it well, as Maurice Chevalier said in some movie or other. There is an ugly Medieval castle in far NW Bavaria called Mespelbrunn. It is surrounded by a wide water moat (Wasserschloss). There is a restaurant there, with tables scattered around outdoors for summer visitors. One specialty of the house is wild sow and Klingenberger rot Wein (red wine), a local red wine from nearby Klingenberg. You can Google Mespelbrunn castle.

I just noticed that a few more matches trickled in on July 1. My son got 3 matches, I got one of his. My nephew got 1 match.Comment

When I'm bored, I sometimes while away time by browsing my matches list (now 24 pages), to see if any of those surnames ring a bell. There is one with a bunch of names that at first glance seem unrelated. But it has a name from Scotland that connects to Canadians that are connected to my U5 haplotype (Massachusetts clade). I'm sure this name (Hendry) is not connected to me, since it latches onto that line relatively recently. But a couple of others are given as being from Wales. Hmm... Joan Plantagenet married a Welsh prince and had babies by him. Is it possible to have an 8+ cm segment from 7 or 8 centuries ago?Last edited by PDHOTLEN; 6 July 2013, 06:18 AM.Comment

Missing new FF matches?
According to FTDNA's chromosome browser a batch processed on 1st July produced 8 new matches for me but only 4 of these people have appeared in the Family Finder match list. There is no trace of the missing 4 at any earlier date so I wonder where they are lurking?
A rather strange thing is that the missing ladies and gentlemen do seem to be the closer matches according to the chromosome browser and this strikes a chord since I seem to remember a similar phenomenon a while back when there was all the turmoil surrounding the build 36/37 changeover/psuedochangeover/unchangeover.
Has anybody else experienced this kind of thing?Comment

RE: Missing new Family Finder Matches
I also noticed missing matches in my Family Finder list. I had six new matches on July 1 that appeared on the chromosome browser but only three of them appear in my Family Finder list. I have searched for the missing three by name, date, and every way possible but they are just not on my Family Finder list. The chromosome browser also shows a total of 439 matches while the Family Finder list only has 436 matches.Last edited by justsmith; 6 July 2013, 10:53 PM.Comment

That segment may be inherited from Prince Llewelyn Iowerth of Wales (c. 1172-1240). I see this match and another match (allegedly Welsh) match on chromosome 11, although slightly offset from one another. That historic prince had a few children by mistresses before he married Joan Plantagenet.Originally posted by PDHOTLEN View PostLast edited by PDHOTLEN; 6 July 2013, 11:40 PM.Comment

A fellow on the DNA-NEWBIE list noticed that 23andMe transfers he had ordered showed up in his chromosome browser but not his match list. Maybe the two features are populated at different times? I'd contact the help desk if this doesn't resolve in a few days.Originally posted by justsmith View PostComment

I transferred some people recently, and they showed up in the Chrom Browser before anywhere else, though for me, it was less than a day before they were on my match list too. This was in June 2013,Comment

When I first saw those two matches on chromosome 11, they were slightly offset. Later the painting was aligned, but one was a bit wider than the other; 8+ cm vs 7+ cm. Those two people had their FF test done. One has not given any list of names. The other has an extensive list of names, including the name of the other match (Bonner). I am zeroing in on Welsh names (given as from Wales), and have ignored non-Welsh names in his (possibly lives in Australia) list.Originally posted by PDHOTLEN View Post
As for Prince Llewelyn ap Iowerth, he was good at making daughters. But he only produced two sons, one being by Joan.Last edited by PDHOTLEN; 7 July 2013, 11:02 PM.Comment

I have looked at my list of matches several times since July 1st, and it showed no new matches. Tonight when I went to look in my chromosome browser a name appeared in the list that I never saw before. Sure enough when I went to the matches page and sorted by most recent there he is. Dated July 1, 2013. I wonder what is going on. Maybe I should scroll through every page in my chromosome browser and make sure I don't see anymore new names there.Originally posted by royfarnol View PostComment

Same here.
I was a little more disconcerted to note that the # of matches in the summary above the chromosome browser hadn't changed, despite the inclusion of an entirely new name in the match list.
I have to admit that I haven't kept super precise notes on a daily basis, so it's possible, I suppose, that this "new" guy I noticed this morning had actually been on the chromosome browser before, but just made it to the match list today.
But even that doesn't make me feel all that warm and fuzzy. It shouldn't take 10 days to complete upload from the chromsome browser to the match list stage.

New matches dated 7/16/13 and 7/17/13 (but they did not actually appear until 7/18/13) are in for four kits that I manage.Comment

10 new matches for me and 11 for my mother's kit after the maintenance that was done today. They show up when listing new matches after 7/15 - I still have the lower SNP count :-( discussed in another thread but I have more matches :-)Comment

Dad - 0
Mom - 3
Me - 2 (same as 2 of Mom's)
Double cousin - 2
The interesting thing is that one of these matches shares a longest segment over 22 cM with each of us, 28 cM with Mom and myself.Comment
