Running DMT Against Non-Matches - Blog entry by lkessler - 13 Dec 2016
I happened to come across a post by Robert Davis on the Ulster Co NY Y-DNA group at FamilyTree DNA. Robert said: Double Match Triangulator …would be of use in finding links (common matches) between two individuals that are not themselves matches. and hence the ICW tool of FF is of no use. That was an excellent ...

Double Match Triangulator Version 1.3 - Blog entry by lkessler - 12 Dec 2016
... up to now. Okay. That’s done. I’ve still likely got a few weeks before my own DNA test results come back from FamilyTreeDNA, so at the moment I’m not distracted by that. Let’s see if I can finish off Behold Version 1.3 prior to RootsTech. I’d really like to because one of the major additions are some

... one with the other, they will on average not match each other over 25% of their DNA, they will match on one parent over 50% of their DNA, and they will on average match on both their parents over 25% of their DNA.

60th Birthday AND Retirement! - Blog entry by lkessler - 24 Nov 2016
... Family History Stack Exchange and my work on Better Gedcom and FHISO and my recent DNA work and my DMT program and my genealogy lectures and travels were up to now just things I’d have to slot in after my full-time day job and after my family and friends, when I could on evenings and weekends. Not bad though. I still got a lot done over the years, even though I ...

... you don’t have more than one Chromosome Browser Results (CBR) file from FamilyTreeDNA of your own to use, I’ve made up a set of sample files you can use to try DMT. It contains 5 Chromosome Browser Results (CBR) files you can download from the DMT page. These files are the same ones I used in the examples in DMT’s help file.

Getting DMT to work with GEDmatch segment matches - Blog entry by lkessler - 3 Nov 2016
... to see if I could. My uncle’s Chromosome Browser Results (CBR) file at FamilyTreeDNA is very big because he is Ashkenazi. I just downloaded a new one so I can compare with GEDmatch. The first 3 attempts failed and it didn’t download the whole thing. The 4th finally worked and I downloaded the file. After selecting Download All Matches link at FamilyTree

DMT Entered in Innovator Showdown @RootsTechConf - Blog entry by lkessler - 27 Sep 2016
... (DMT) program into the Innovator Showdown competition. I don’t recall them having a DNA analysis program entered before so I’ll be interested to see what they think of it, and I’ll be very happy if it’s selected as one of the 10 semi-finalists. I’ve already prepared my DMT page at the Devpost site for the contest and I have to add a 60 to 90 second video about it ...

Triangulation and Missing a-b Segments - Blog entry by lkessler - 30 Aug 2016
... so they don’t triangulate. This is actually an entirely new concept in autosomal DNA segment analysis. Until I released the Double Match Triangulator program, there were no other tools that produced missing a-b information, so it’s something new that can be used to possibly help you to identify relationships. I scratched my head for quite a while wondering how the ...
