How can I get family matching to work with half siblings?

[Genemonkey]

I have adjusted the tree to demonstrate that 3 testers are half siblings - 2 from one father and 1 from another. All same mother.

The match still shows the linked relationship of sister and brother rather than both showing half siblings.

I thought amending the tree to reflect...

I’m a little confused for the Central European part, part of my map includes Croatia and Slovakia for Central Europe but in the site doesn’t include those two within the Central European report. I get 83% for that. But I get 3% Eastern European, which I know should be higher but on my map, the Central...

I am wondering if there is possibly an issue with my DNA kit (transfer from Ancestry) as I seem to have a very low amount of DNA matches. I recently noticed that my account only has 472 matches but I am sure I previously had much, much more than that! My mum's DNA has also been transferred under...

So, in researching my own family tree with DNA, I found some relatively close matches that nobody in our family had heard of. Looking through these matches trees (which doesn't overlap with my own) and also DNA shared in common, it is obvious that there was an "NPE" 2 generations back (~100...

Is there a way for a project admin to extract a report showing all the members of the project who have taken a Family Finder test? I can only see options for y and mt. It looks as if I have to go in to each profile to look, which seems very time consuming.

I compared ged files from a person in my Y-DNA search matching 25. I found our common ancestor 8 generations back however the match was with my mothers ancestors. Why am I getting matched to people in my mothers line with y-DNA? I was not able to find the same person whom I matched using Family Finder...

Hi,

My father's Family Finder results have arrived and I see that one third of his matches are on the approximately same part of chromosome 22. Are there differences in the mutation rates of the DNA on the different chromosomes? Does anyone else here have a huge part of their matches...

I have written an easy-to-understand web page describing the use of FTDNA's Family Finder in genealogy. This test is an example of a massive autosomal DNA test.

Please take a look and then add any additional suggestions to this thread.

I was a Beta tester with 23andMe's Relaitive Finder and then FTDNA's Family Finder. These autosomal tests are helping me identify and contact distant cousins. By exploring common surnames and joining forces with these other genealogists, I am learning more about my ancestors.

Did you ever see the tv show about dna admixture in England?
The tv show was called "Are You 100% English?" (or, that is the title given on youtube).
Someone posted about it on here last year. I found links on youtube for each segment.
