Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Strange match
« on: Sunday 20 July 25 09:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi All, Did my DNA on Ancestry and have since uploaded to MyHeritage. On MyHeritage I have a match, lets call it XF, as follows: Shared DNA: 1.5% (102.9‎ cM); Shared segments: 6; Largest segment: 35‎ cM. Now I have been successful in linking all my matches at this level to myself except for this one. On the paper trails for XF and myself I have not found a link. I understand the paper trails can be wrong. I thought initially of half sibling relationships, adoption, or a NPE. What I find strange is that my daughter who has done a MH DNA test matches as expected to me and her mother but does not match to XF. From my limited understanding this is feasible possible but unlikely, but I stand to be corrected.
Any help?

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Using modern techniques and filters in restoration
« on: Sunday 13 July 25 13:53 BST (UK)  »
I totally agree with using what is available to restore old photographs. I stress restoring, a lot of old photos are in a very poor state of preservation. I am not too sure about some of the "improvements" where the subject has been improved possibly a little too much. Its hard to tell really because a photograph freezes the subject in that split second of time. Could be a bad photo of the subject or a good photo, unless you knew the subject you can't tell. Sorry for rambling on. I do think that the work on photo improvement I've seen on here is very, very good. I've done a couple of my damaged photos for my own amusement and have been reasonably happy with the results but I'm sure they could be better.

Thanks for that Sinann. I managed to submit my problem. Here's hoping it will be sorted soon.

Yes, clicking on DNA button and selecting matches gives me headers and a blank page. Doesn't matter from which page on the site I select DNA Matches - same result. Same for Ethnicity Estimate.
Can't seem to work my way through the Help section to be able to report the problem. Using a browser on a desktop computer.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / MyHeritage problem
« on: Saturday 12 July 25 16:49 BST (UK)  »
Hi all, I can no longer see my DNA matches on MyHeritage. Its been a couple of days now. Just get the headings and blank screen underneath. Is it just me affected or are other people having problems too? If its just me how do I contact MH about the problem? Their help system is just sending me round in circles.

Hi all, I have received the marriage certificate of William Joseph Young and Mary Ann Davies. It confirms what I have suspected. Mary Ann Davies was my grandmother's sister. Her daughter Violet Rose Young was adopted by James Rees Davies, Violet's grandfather's half-brother presumably after her mother died in 1904. I have a DNA link to the descendents of Violet Rose through her marriage to Jack Rosen: 1926, June 24, Paddington, London, Maurice Jack Rosen, age 25, son of Maurice Rosen to Violet Young Davis, age 25, daughter of James Reece Davis.
My thanks to all who contributed to this thread.
