My Living DNA Results Are In - Blog entry by lkessler - 6 Aug 2018
Today, I received an email from Living DNA that my test results are now available. After watching several of the RootsTech livestreamed presentations by David Nicholson and Hannah Morden of Living DNA in February, their promise of their upcoming Family Networks capability to reconstruct family trees intrigued ...

DMT Now Reads @MyHeritage DNA Segment Match Files - Blog comment by lkessler - 3 Aug 2018
From Ancestry DNA, the DNAGedcom Client can only download the people you match to and the people you are ICW (in common with) along with the total match length. But Ancestry DNA does not have a chromosome browser and does not make individual segment match information available, so there's no segment match data ...

New MyHeritage DNA Filtering System - Blog entry by lkessler - 28 Jun 2018
Today, MyHeritage announced a new feature – a brand new filtering system for DNA matches. They describe it here on the MyHeritage Blog. They say they are rolling out the feature gradually, so you may not see it yet. I can see the new features and I thought I’d give it a run-through. They now show me ...

Another attempt with Genome Mate Pro - Blog comment by lkessler - 11 Jun 2018
Thanks, Joe. I'm trying to see what capabilities GMP has and if there's any way I might be able to share information to/from it with DMT. I'm not prepared to spend the time right now to go through a 300 page User Guide but I feel fine following Leah's tutorials instead who is as close to a guru on GMP as you ...

Behold Update - Forum post by lkessler in Questions and Answers - 10 Jun 2018
Well, it's now June and I haven't got Version 1.3 out yet. --Sigh-- I've been busy with DMT and I've got new and exciting things coming with it. But Behold is still a priority, and I resolved at New Year's to have Behold Version 1.5 out by the end of the year, so 1.3 will have to come before that.

Another attempt with Genome Mate Pro - Blog entry by lkessler - 9 Jun 2018
Genome Mate Pro (GMP) is a program written by Rebecca Walker and is designed to organize all your DNA matches and match information. This is not a simple program to use, but it supposedly does a lot for you. I have DNA tested now at FamilyTreeDNA (autosomal, BigY-500, mt-full), 23andMe, MyHeritage DNA and ...

Advancing the GEDCOM Standard - Blog entry by lkessler - 26 May 2018
For over 30 years, genealogy software has relied on the GEDCOM standard to transfer data between programs. There have been advances in the past years to allow programs to directly sync to online family trees, but that is nowhere near perfected and very few programs have the capability. So the fallback is still ...

Revisiting Speed and Balding - Blog comment by lkessler - 8 Apr 2018
Barry:
You said: "for the handful of weak matches for whom we have traced a MRCA, the generational difference has usually been larger than had been predicted by the model". I would expect that is because the one MRCA you identified is one of many MRCA's that you and your match have. Neither of you has ...
