Please Let it Be

Probably so. I went ahead and sent the suspected father a message on Facebook as well. My wife is a musician, and the suspected father is a professional musician. I think it is him, and taking the guess that it is and looking for people in the huge tree I've created with the same last name and city...

Still awaiting contact, I was able to find them on Facebook. Sent messages to four different people, but no responses yet. I count that as a positive, because if it weren't the right family there is a good chance one out of four would respond in the negative.

The photos look very p...

I've been searching for my wife for over two years. A couple thousand hours of Ancestry.com and other forms of searching.

Today I found a couple born in the 1930's, with different genetic cousins matching the husband and wife. The had two children.

I found a tree on Ancestry...

Judy,

You have no idea how much self control I exercise, especially since I have a security background. Knowing where an answer is, but having it hide behind an access restriction is very much to handle....

If you are genealogically inclined, I'd suggest taking the FTDNA if your 23andMe results are not getting what you want.

You may get nothing new, but the database does have different people.

In my case, I am here for my adoptee wife. She has taken all of the tests available...

When you figure out how to win the lottery, let me know. The page is simple to use, copy/paste the source into the box, click Submit and it spits out a GEDCOM right away. It names them after the person, so you can click Reset to clear the box and paste in the next without needing to reload the page....

If anyone tried it and got some relationship errors in the downloaded GEDCOM file, the issues should be resolved. Send me an email is there are any other problems. Thanks!...

Susan, I don't think you need to worry. If Gaye wants someone's tree, she'll get it.. even if she has to dig through the census records herself. The bonus is, the lazy people that would pass on errors won't go through the trouble....

A simple solution to deleting Affy results:

Create a small link saying something like:

"Outdated Data" to provide a download of the data and results.

I'm guessing there were some problems with the old data, and that is one reason to want to get...

Another account which I am aware of has not been converted yet, and he did not request to have it done when the email went out. His due date under pending results is sometime next month.

My guess is that everyone that requested it has already been done, and they are taking their time...

FGS with eight HVR1 matches, zero other. Results received about a year ago, and one new match about 3 months ago....

I'm glad you got some answers to explain your childhood!

You may already know this, but the surnames from your paternal origin change with each generation. You should read them as:

Son of Ander
Son of Peter
Son of Jakob.

That is why they are...

I think contacting all matches is good, because if they have a GEDCOM - even a 5th cousin - you might be able to make connections between them and other matches.

I have a couple 5th cousin matches that I've connected at the 7th cousin level. They do not show as matches to each other,...
