Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: using x-match, how?

it's ftdna, I can't find where it shows the x-match amount. The dna matchlist says we have a x-match but the chromosome browser shows zip.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: using x-match, how?
« on: Sunday 03 February 19 17:16 GMT (UK) »
so how would X-match affect cousins, male-female? My female 4th cousin got X from my dad or from my mother?
So I have an X, my female distant cousin has a matching X. Does this imply (A, B or C) she is from my mother's side of family?
A: Strongly
B: Weekly
C: Implies nothing, red herring, why is X-match used at all.

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?

There's a limit implied concerning number of people in the FAQ in the Family Echo. Are they meaning generations? How many generations? They don't have adoption covered in the tree. And the company is located in Israel. What kind of privacy laws protect US citizens in Israel? Last time I dealt with an Israeli company, I started getting hit with DOS attacks, threats and spam. This was a decade ago and a not so good memory, especially the threats.

gramps has a steep learning curve and seems to error a lot on gedcom import. Can you list some others?

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?
