I have FTM 2012 and I am think of buying FTM 2014.

Russ,
I have FTM 2012 and I am think of buying FTM 2014.  Is FTM 2014 that much better?

Another view of Information Overload.

Another view of Information Overload. The 32 minute Video by The Barefoot Genealogist Crista Cowan - is a view of her Genealogy Source Checklist. Yes, Ancestry.com will be mentioned, but the check list may help you.

Wow.

Wow. I will have to look into this, since I already have Roots Magic and I have My Heritage. I was wondering HOW I was going to manage all of my Smart Matches from My Heritage, #Roots Magic maybe the answer.

Received this from AncestryDNA

Received this from AncestryDNA

The time has come. This morning, we have launched our new, enhanced DNA matching and the beta for DNA Circles. It is okay to talk and post about it. A couple of quick updates:

All AncestryDNA customers who had their results prior to today will have their updated DNA matches available on the site. We are in the process of emailing everyone to notify them of the update.
·         
DNA Circles is the name for what we previously shared as DNA match groups. This is being launched in beta as the technology is still in its early days. The help section of DNA Circles has lots of information on how this works, we’ll also be posting an overview for everyone to read.

You can download your “old" DNA matches via the settings tab on the DNA homepage. This is only available to people who had results prior to today. From today forward, people only have the “new” matching results.

What really makes our new matching algorithms powerful is how we have improved the process of phasing with having the database size to cross compare and take a deeper dive into the new discoveries we are making. Check out the white paper for more of the details. It’s available in the help area for DNA matches, click the question mark.

We are very excited to share this new feature and to see the discoveries that can be made. Send me any feedback you have for us. Blog post on Ancestry to come shortly.
