Title: No Matches on Family Tree DNA
Post by: ABradley on Monday 16 September 24 13:41 BST (UK)
Hi,
Some time ago I uploaded my Ancestry DNA to Family Tree DNA.
As a non subscribing member I was able to see my matches until this morning when I discovered that I have "No Matches".
Anyone know of any problems?

Hi Andrew,
    FtDNA go through spells where the site does not show matches, or you get errors reported loading the pages. I am not sure what is going on and i have tried reporting it once before and it started working again shortly afterwards, for a while

Ok thanks Richard.
 I did have problems recently sorting newest matches but never this.

For 3 different kits on FTDNA I'm showing no matches so it's not just you  :-\

FTDNA is now linked to My Heritage.

Problems are very likely in the development of this linkage.

For me it has not provided and useful matches for a couple of years now.

Agreed. Just a money pit for the ' upgrades '

I would not recommend FTDNA to anyone

Just to clarify, its only the family trees that are linked to MyHeritage. None of the DNA testing/results have been shared

ftDNA is the site of choice for yDNA testing.

When I uploaded my Ancestry atDNA to ftDNA I did find one new match that I linked into my Family Tree.  There are a few others that I recognise from Ancestry or Gedmatch but only the one has proved useful

Do you know what the specific link is? I was hoping that MyHeritage could push the Y tests more. They have done a good job of getting DNA tests into more hands. Particularly in Europe. Ancestry is very Anglo-centric. And maybe they could get that $450 tag for the big-Y test down. Seems a lot when you can get full genome for less.

As i clarified above they have not linked up with MtHeritage for anything more than the family trees. In the information they sent out, they specifically stated that the DNA side of things would not be changing (on either side) and your results would not be shared. It reads that they basically just wanted to get out of holding tree details (and there tree's were very basic).
