Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Consanguineous DNA Matches
« on: Friday 26 January 24 11:10 GMT (UK)  »
I'm sorry I can't help. Mick but I thought I would say that I have an extremely similar situation except that the person concerned only has herself on the tree and I am fairly sure she died a number of years back.

We have 391 cm in common and since I can only find her on Ancestry, DNA painter isn't much use to me as I can't, as far as I know, download her matched results.

If any genius comes up with a solution or hint for either of us, I shall be exceedingly chuffed :D

Having now worked it out and had a plausible guess, perhaps you could delete this topic Shaun? Thank you.

Why not add it as an attachment in the normal way?

Besically because this is my first time posting on RootsChat for very many years and I not only couldn't remember how to do it, I couldn't find the button or anything  ::) . Am editing my post.. should get better soon.

I'm probably being somewhat stupid about this but I can't work out what the section after "twenty one years" is meant to say. I've been guessing but can't come up with anything plausible.

If anyone can help, I'd be really grateful.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Ancestry DNA matches change

You can simply go in on the ethnicity page and edit parent 1 & parent 2 to read Mother & Father (if you know which is which) and then your matches will identify Mother's side or Father's side.

Pheno

That is what I did just now, so my matches now appear as Mother, Father or unassigned whereas before they only had mother or father if I had put that manually.

There are two things that puzzle me about this in particular -

One is that, if they are putting Parent 1 and Parent 2 (or whatever) against matches, even brand new ones without trees, how come some of the matches are unassigned?

The second is that, where there are shared matches, there are several occasions where all but one of the matches show one parent's side and the remaining one shows the other parent's side. I now have a pretty extensive tree and can find no incidence of someone from my father's family having a child with (or even being acquainted with) someone from my mother's family. I realise it is quite possible that this has happened since I am not omniscient but is there any other explanation anyone knows of?

EDIT: I've just realised that this has been extensively discussed on another thread so I do apologise for repeating it.

Yes indeed histbak, that has happened to me several times. Eventually, (and in some cases it has been more than a month later) I do get the email and at that point the will is available. I have also sent emails to IronMountain and rarely get a reply so have given up on that front!

It has certainly put me off ordering wills though as I was on a roll with ordering just before the site went off-line and the very long delays (still haven't received one I ordered several months back) mean that I have lost the thread of my researches once they finally appear...

This gets more bizarre.

Yesterday I tried a few dummy orders. The ones that didn't need a Folio No. got to the payment stage. The ones that needed one didn't get that far. I got the same contact administrator message. I tried the same ones today and they got to the payment stage.

I was then able to order the Will that I originally attempted to order.

As for receipts. I received an e-mail saying "order receipt". However you have to follow a link which then tells you to download the actual receipt to your device. The mind boggles.

Either someone is having a laugh that's got out of hand or someone's continued employment or sanity should be seriously questioned.
That is very interesting, Eric - thanks for sharing that! I'm glad that you were able to order the will you've been trying to get originally and it encourages me to think I might be able to get the one I tried weeks and weeks back (if I can remember which one it was  ;D )

However, I'm not ordering anything until I get a reply about the one they claim to have delivered and haven't.

I daren't comment on the way this "upgrade" has been handled as I'm sure I would be breaking the site rules on appropriate user behaviour........

I have been unable to order any wills requiring Folio numbers for some time now. If you emails them on hmctswills@ironmountain.co.uk you MAY get a reply but I usually don't.

I ordered some wills a few weeks ago that went into the system fine but have never turned up. One that claimed to have Grant and Will available had the Grant but not the will and they haven't responded to my query about that either.

I'm sorry to be discouraging Eric but I can only wish you luck ::)
