I’ve been working on DNA and…

puzzling over some age-old topics like “what to do about my trees spread all over the place?”  The underlying question is “where to keep my thoroughly researched and sourced information?” and “where to test out my hypotheses?”  Here are some articles that apply:

Roberta Estes, blogging at DNA Explained posted Genealogy Tree Replacement…  She maintains 4 separate trees, RootsMagic on her home computer, Ancestry, MyHeritage, and Family Tree DNA.  She does not download or sync because she would have to re-add documents, photos, notes comments, TreeTags, etc.  https://dna-explained.com/2020/11/10/genealogy-tree-replacement-should-i-or-shouldnt-i/

Randy Seaver posted this article in response to Roberta.   geneamusings.com how-i-use-genealogy-software-and-online. Randy uses RootsMagic and many other individual and universal online trees.  Universal trees are single trees that everyone works on like Family Search.

Lisa Louise Cooke has a good article, “If My Ancestry Subscription Expires, What Happens to My Tree?”  She uses RootsMagic as her Master Family Tree and builds limited or exploratory trees at online services.  https://lisalouisecooke.com/2017/08/16/ancestry-subscription-expire/

 This is an intermediate topic but we will answer lots of questions along the way.  If you have a chance to check out some of these articles, we can have a good discussion.

There are DNA testing sales everywhere.   Can it really be Black Friday already?  If you have an older relative who is a candidate or even yourself or a younger relative, let’s talk about which test to buy.
