It sounds almost too good to be true doesn't it?  ;D ;D
It basically seems to be - the Family Networks thing, very similar to what you currently have on the DNA matches on Ancestry, but just trying to put into a visual format. You don't have to upload any family tree data to them. You can see from the screenshots they show the centimorgan value too.

This the 2004-2015  Oxford University study, People of the British Isles that used the method of four grandparents born within 50 miles/80 km of each other and the subsequent processing methodology which is what Living DNA has licensed and partly used and built on for their England & Wales genetic maps, and is now using for their current One Family One World Project

I fulfil the criteria for this and so do my parents, but I can't get the upload to work.


Its says it does not accept the format for the upload which is a download from ancestry dna

Any ideas?

Hi, Cwellan. Did you extract the txt file from the zip file, you need to do that before uploading I think. For the other providers you need to extract the csv file.

Cwellan, I'm not at my PC. Do you have to unzip the Ancestry data? Look into it.
