NEW AND UPDATED RECORD COLLECTIONS ON FAMILYSEARCH.ORG AND ANCESTRY.COM

Both FamilySearch.org and Ancestry.com have added quite a number new and updated record collections during the last week.  There are many United States collections that should have some information on our ancestors.  Ancestry.com has a new Alabama, Voter Registration Records for 1867 where I have sound several of my ancestors.  This information will give me a location for these ancestors in between the census years 1860 and 1870.  Good luck with your searching.

Happy ancestor hunting.

FREE TRANSFER OF AUTOSOMAL DNA TEST DATA TO FTDNA

FamilyTreeDNA is offering a free transfer of autosomal DNA test data from Ancestry.com and 23andMe.com, but with strings attached.

From Roberta Estes' DNAeXplained website:


"In order to attract more uploads, which will, of course, give us more matches, Family Tree DNA is announcing free uploads from Ancestry and 23andMe, the v3 chip only, but with a string attached.  The transferee can do the actual transfer for free, but they will only see their top 20 matches, only an initial and a last name, and will not be able to communicate with them unless they decide to pay $39 to join, or perhaps stated more accurately, to active all of the features of a paid transfer.  However, in lieu of the $39 fee, you can also recruit 4 other people to upload their data, whether or not they actually pay the fee or not."

 Realize that you will be transferring just your DNA data and not your matches to FamilyTreeDNA.  FamilyTreeDNA will compare this data to their database and this will be the results that you get.  If you already have an autosomal DNA test with FamilyTreeDNA there will no advantage to transferring either Ancestry or 23andMe data to FamilyTree.

More information can be found on Blaine Bettinger's The Genetic Genealogist website.

Happy ancestor hunting.

The following record collections are shown as new or updated on FamilySearch.org and Ancestry.com.

 As I have noted before, Ancestry.com labels their records as new or updated and FamilySearch.org does not have this information so it is more difficult to determine the status of their records.  One way to do this on FamilySearch.org is to click on the "Learn More" link when you first access the record.  This will take you to the Wiki page on this record collection which will provide details or hints that will help determine if the record is "new" or "updated".
