Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / using x-match, how?
« on: Saturday 02 February 19 18:39 GMT (UK)  »
two cousins, 1 boy one girl, they share an X-match.  Does this mean they are on mom's side or something else? 

Is this confusing mtDNA with the X chromosome?  Can somebody explain this so a non-Phd can understand it?

Family History Beginners Board / need a tree-builder that works
« on: Thursday 06 December 18 08:51 GMT (UK)  »
I like the ancestry.com tree builder, is easy and seems to display well and i like the gallery feature and facts.  Problem is you can't take it with you.  MyHeritage tree is impossible to use by comparison to Ancestry.com, really, no comparison and quite broken.  FTDNA is better than MyHeritage but still not as easy to use as Ancestry.

Does anyone have a suggestion on what can be used instead of a paid-subscription to somewhere?  Easy to use, store photos and docs, tell stories.  Put onto a usb stick and sent out for xmas?

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Aunt nephew shared dna
« on: Wednesday 07 November 18 06:48 GMT (UK)  »
Shouldn't the nephew show a dna match relation to everyone the aunt is related to?  Is there a scenario where there can be matches for the aunt that are not shared with the nephew?

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / YDNA confusion, surnames, sales hype
« on: Saturday 03 November 18 16:06 GMT (UK)  »
My grandfathers (both sides) took a powder a century ago.  We know their names.  Is the Ydna test all that useful when we know their names?  Being that the Ydna test is so much more expensive and the surname list does not seem to be public data, how do we know if money spent on this test is not equal to pulling the flush handle?  At 4 times the expense, who would be buying it?

I have taken the autosomal dna test, my sister and mother's sister too.  We have thousands of matches.  How do we clear the clutter and find our dad's families?
