    If you have been collecting your Pro Tools shared matches for AutoLineage, you know it can take a bit of time. I’ve found another shortcut to speed up this collection. First I check if the match has a tree and look at the tree. If it’s only a few people and all are private, there’s…

    When I saw that ancestry was showing how many centimorgans, cM, your matches share with other shared matches like 23andMe and MyHeritage have been doing all along, I decided I needed to purchase the Pro Tools.

    I like to have pretty trees when I run ‘Find Common Ancestors’ on AutoLineage. But sometimes they turn out very messy. This blog will describe why that happens and how to fix it. The most common occurrence is when a match has more than one tree. I know that my second cousin (2C) Trish has…

    I arrived in Salt Lake City Saturday 24 February. Arriving on Saturday is convenient as it gives me Sunday to sleep in and get organized for the week. Leisa Byrne had already arrived, and we recreated some of the things we’d done before RootsTech in 2020, starting off with brunch at Eva’s Bakery. Then we…
