Finally, Interesting Possibilities to Sync Your Data - Blog comment by justincyork - 23 May 2019
I get the impression that you're advocating automatic sync (upload) to online trees. That's dangerous, particularly for shared trees. In fact, FamilySearch doesn't allow automatic writes. I believe the review process in RootsMagic for sending changes up to FamilySearch is largely mandated by FamilySearch.

Keith: It wouldn't make sense for MacKiev to get rid of Sync. The only reason would be if Ancestry no longer let them do it. I hope Ancestry opens up their API to other developers in the future. It's a shame that only FTM and RootsMagic are given access to it.

Finally, Interesting Possibilities to Sync Your Data - Blog comment by geneatech - 19 May 2019
In a comment on my GenealogyTools blog, Jack Minsky, president of Software MacKiev, said, "FamilySync is very much a part of FTM 2019 and will continue to provide syncing with your Ancestry trees." So that's good news, and even better is that TreeVault is a new feature, although it will require a subscription.

Finally, Interesting Possibilities to Sync Your Data - Blog comment by geneatech - 18 May 2019
I agree that the ability to sync with multiple services is crucial. I was a beta tester for AncestorSync and was very disappointed when it failed.
Regarding FTM 2019, there was no mention in Software MacKiev's announcement whether the FamilySync feature would continue, or if the new TreeVault feature is ...

Combine Kits into One Superkit on GEDmatch Genesis - Blog comment by lkessler - 6 May 2019
spmcdonald: GEDmatch does not have a tool for that.
If you have 3 or more uncles or aunts who are all siblings, then you should use Visual Phasing to identify all their grandparents: https://thegeneticgenealogist.com/2016/11/21/visual-phasing-an-example-part-1-of-5/
If you have the raw data of any close ...

My Whole Genome Sequencing. The VCF File - Blog comment by lkessler - 6 May 2019
Bizlovr: These files are not easy to work with. I'm trying to directly analyze them myself (I have some skills with this sort of analysis) since I don't like the black box analysis tools that the genomic genealogists use. Getting down and dirty and playing with the ants is easier for me than just getting ...

Comparing Raw Data from 5 DNA Testing Companies - Blog comment by lkessler - 6 May 2019
Ian: If you’ve already done Ancestry, then I’d recommend 23andMe as the other one which will give you the greatest number of different SNPs to use. Only 13% of Ancestry and 23andMe’s SNPs were in common and you should end up with about 1.1 million SNPs by combining just those two tests. Also you’ll get ...

Combine Kits into One Superkit on GEDmatch Genesis - Blog comment by spmcdonald - 5 May 2019
Could you combine kits from siblings, e.g., uncles, with the same parents to get a “super uncle” kit?

Comparing Raw Data from 5 DNA Testing Companies - Blog comment by ianbd - 4 May 2019
I am wondering if there is a chart or list somewhere showing the actual overlaps, not just the counts? I have already done the Ancestry DNA, but instead of doing all the other ones to make a combined file, Which would be the best two to followup with in order to obtain the greatest total SNP coverage. Right ...
