Transferring to FTDNA did get me quite a bit further in my father's Y haplogroup (but didn't change anything for the mt haplogroup). I'm sure its worth varies from person to person, and I did end up wanting to test further, so fair warning!...

[MarjorieF]

I have no idea, I'm afraid. But my kit had issues because it was very, very old (the first incarnation) and it got "stuck" in processing for a while. It also didn't have any kind of tracking system. The upside was they upgraded it from the original, which was only for Y, and gave mtDNA results...

Aargh. I'm getting blank boxes and a blank map, after clicking through the new myOrigins intro. Does anyone else have this? Will it sort itself out by the end of the day or something? Or do I need to write support?

[MarjorieF]

I actually did manage to upload my gedcom. I'm not sure what changed though! Maybe contact support?

They replied after they fixed it this morning!

[MarjorieF]

Yes, that's all correct.

I did contact Customer Support via their form last week, and I'm a bit surprised I haven't heard anything back from them. Thanks for pointing out the phone number, as that will have to be my next option.

Thanks for the photo (which they approved so I can see it. Or I assume that is what happened.) At least I know that I am definitely missing the "chromosome browser" button. I don't know if it's normal for there to be a lag, or something has gone wrong with my account....

Your attachment is pending so I can't see it, alas. But! I clicked on "Learn More" under the Dashboard page, which took me to Family Finder Home. There, I clicked on Chromosome Browser, and I got "Pending Results, Your Family Finder Matches results are still processing. Check back in...

[MarjorieF]

Thanks for your suggestions. I tried Firefox, since I'd tried Safari and Chrome, but not that browser. I cleared cookies. Still no dice.

But there's no link to the chromosome browser on my dashboard page, only on the Family Finder-Matches page. Hmmm.

Thanks, Jack, but I'm on a Mac. I'm just not sure what I can do about this.

I'm a big fan of her blog and found her post very informative! But thanks for pointing it out because I would have hated to miss something like that.

[MarjorieF]

Thanks. Yeah, I won't rush into this decision, although I'm sure at some point I'll test, to look more closely at its origins if nothing else.

[MarjorieF]

And it's still not working. I've tried two different browsers, logging out and logging in. I've restarted my computer. ICW and Matrix work fine, so I feel like it's specific to the chromosome browser. I've sent in a help message, where they warn me not to send followups as that will slow everything...

It is a good sale, but I suspect I may not be able to get it. My Geno 2+ may not count towards the upgrade sale. I will ask, though! Thanks.

Thank you, Armando! I appreciated those links.

My last-known maternal ancestor was a Gaelic speaker, so I was interested in the fact that the Geographic Project said this about H2a: "The map for H2a shows that it is most common in northern Spain and southwestern France, as well as...
