If you've done both Ancestry and 23andMe, it's better to use the 23andMe file for uploading to MyH and FTDNA, because the chips used by MyH and FTDNA are very similar to the one used by 23andMe. And FYI: if you upload BOTH of them to MyH and FTDNA, the results will be different, because the Ancestry and 23andMe chips are using different SNPs

Hurricanes are called Typhoons in the Pacific ocean and Tropical Storms in the Indian ocean. Here in UK and Europe we sometimes get the remains of hurricanes from the Caribbean but by the time they get here they are turned into temperate cyclones with some gales but not often as strong as they were when they were hurricanes. The 1987 one was strong enough to blow trees down, and in my school it was blowing the edge off the roof of one of the buildings and the roofing felt off the outside classrooms. Another school in our town had the roof of the changing rooms collapsed I believe.

Thanks for the video. What is the best way to document the SOURCES for DNA results in a report? Footnote standards? Complete description in the text of the report? Graphic representations comparing multiple kits? Spreadsheets/tables?

My problem with Gedmatch is that most of the matches posted have no gedcom files attached to their profiles. Kind of defeats the purpose.

Blurple! I can't choose a favorite between MyHeritage, 23andMe, and FamilyTreeDNA. I like all of them. I love GEDmatch, but not all of the people are there. If Ancestry ever gets a chromosome browser (one that actually does what we need it to!), then it might be my favorite as the majority of my matches are there. I need to check out LivingDNA. I do not like the 3D thing...I just can't make sense of it at all! It makes my eyes cross even worse than they already do. haha In regard to hurricanes... In September 1989, we lived approximately 234 miles inland (in Anderson County, South Carolina) from where Hurricane Hugo made landfall at Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. You'd think we would have been safe, but nope. I almost became a widow and childless at the same time. David was out delivering the newspaper and our oldest son (an only child at the time) was with him. Our son was in his car seat in the backseat. There were small poles in the car, too, for when David put up the newspaper boxes. It was raining some of the worst we'd ever seen that night/morning. The wind was throwing the newspapers back into the car when David threw them out. He was exhausted and fell asleep while driving and hit a retaining wall in a customer's yard. His mouth was imbedded in the steering well and our son was somehow out of his car seat when David came to. When the police got there, they were asking if the baby(3 yrs old at the time) had been in his car seat. Both David and our son confirmed that, yes, he had been strapped into his car seat. They asked him how he got out. He told them that a light came down and unbuckled his car seat to get him out. His story has never waivered all these years. The policeman showed David why he kept asking about our son being in his car seat....those poles had slashed through the car seat right where his head would have been had he still been in that car seat. Our baby would have been decapitated. That "light" saved our son's life. I have no doubt of the source of that light and am eternally grateful for it. I learned a weather lesson with that hurricane. It doesn't matter how far inland you are; if it wants you, it will go well inland to get you. It also affirmed my belief in a loving Heavenly Father and Guardian Angels. Have a blessed weekend!

Gedmatch for DNA, as most of my ancestry comes from a small area in Ireland (60+% in the same graveyard as far back as I can go) need to double and triple check everything...... Ancestry for everything else, recently joined MyHeritage and hate it, am I missing something?

Probably what you're used to. GEDmatch is powerful but the interface user experience isn't simple, MyH is almost as powerful but is much simpler to use and understand...so if starting out I'd say MyH should be the go to (I love GEDmatch and have a paid version and most kits on it, but use MyH 99% of the time just for ease and speed).

@@FamilyHistoryFanatics I suspect your question was to the OP, but I'll put my two cents worth in. GED Match has great (but confusing initially) tools, but the lack of matches and in particular the lack of trees for me means I only really use it when I've already established who I think they are and want the Chromosome Browsing tools to examine further - this usually means they're on Ancestry and nowhere else. If I find someone on Ancestry with a particularly interesting tree/geography/surname and I make contact with them then I ask them if they'd be willing to upload to MyHeritage (and offer as much support as I can to help them do it), rather than GEDMatch as I think they'd get more from MyH - due to relative ease of use - if they did. If they're on GEDmatch then awesome. MyH is fantastic and for me has almost as many matches as I have on Ancestry. Its only weakness is that there are fewer trees, so not always easy to find out how we match on a tree/surname basis, so I often flick over to Ancestry to see if I can find a tree (if they've posted a tree with just a couple of generations), basically the Member Trees is the only reason I use Ancestry now. MyH triangulation tool is a simple and easy way of prioritizing my work when I have 100's of matches. Ancestry - great for trial trees based on other members info, but has fallen away sadly on the DNA side...a feature of MyH vs Ancestry not often raised is the relationship between the matches eg Fred Nurks is your 5th cousin but is the 2nd Cousin of Jane Bloggs...you dont see that relationship on Ancestry. Sorry...off topic. I also subscribe to 23andMe, FTDNA and MyLivingDNA but dont often use them (due to lower match numbers) so unfair to make an assessment as to how easy their tools are - I had a similar experience with FTDNA as you guys did in the video. FTDNA obviously has the edge on Y-DNA (I'm male!)

@@TiddlesTheBearBaiter Crikies I would say the opposite, I totally get the way GedMatch works, yes you have to jumps pages to cross reference but I find the same true in MyH. I feel I am missing something.

@@theresa9404 Ha, it could just as easily be me who's missing something! I don't use it as often as other platforms, I've never really got comfortable with its layout enough to smoothly glide from page to page/tool-to-tool, hence the preference for MyH as everything to me seamlessly branches off the one page. Out of interest were you a competent GEDMatch user before starting to use MyH? My assumption would be that you were and so MyH didn't really offer anything new. For me the opposite, couldn't really get into GEDMatch so never got competent enough with it vs MyH. Regardless, both significantly trump Ancestry for DNA work!
