Chromosome Browser Showdown: MyHeritage vs GEDmatch vs Family Tree DNA vs Living DNA! 

I love MyHeritage chromosome browser!! Thank you for the presentation!

GEDmatch is K I N G. It has everything. I just wish it had dots and groups (which you just taught me they do!)

Hurricane Alicia was in Aug.1983 (not 1985, like you/Devon said)

If you've done both Ancestry and 23andMe, it's better to use the 23andMe file for uploading to MyH and FTDNA, because the chips used by MyH and FTDNA are very similar to the one used by 23andMe. And FYI: if you upload BOTH of them to MyH and FTDNA, the results will be different, because the Ancestry and 23andMe chips are using different SNPs

Hurricanes are called Typhoons in the Pacific ocean and Tropical Storms in the Indian ocean. Here in UK and Europe we sometimes get the remains of hurricanes from the Caribbean but by the time they get here they are turned into temperate cyclones with some gales but not often as strong as they were when they were hurricanes. The 1987 one was strong enough to blow trees down, and in my school it was blowing the edge off the roof of one of the buildings and the roofing felt off the outside classrooms. Another school in our town had the roof of the changing rooms collapsed I believe.

Blurple! I can't choose a favorite between MyHeritage, 23andMe, and FamilyTreeDNA. I like all of them. I love GEDmatch, but not all of the people are there. If Ancestry ever gets a chromosome browser (one that actually does what we need it to!), then it might be my favorite as the majority of my matches are there. I need to check out LivingDNA. I do not like the 3D thing...I just can't make sense of it at all! It makes my eyes cross even worse than they already do. haha In regard to hurricanes... In September 1989, we lived approximately 234 miles inland (in Anderson County, South Carolina) from where Hurricane Hugo made landfall at Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. You'd think we would have been safe, but nope. I almost became a widow and childless at the same time. David was out delivering the newspaper and our oldest son (an only child at the time) was with him. Our son was in his car seat in the backseat. There were small poles in the car, too, for when David put up the newspaper boxes. It was raining some of the worst we'd ever seen that night/morning. The wind was throwing the newspapers back into the car when David threw them out. He was exhausted and fell asleep while driving and hit a retaining wall in a customer's yard. His mouth was imbedded in the steering well and our son was somehow out of his car seat when David came to. When the police got there, they were asking if the baby(3 yrs old at the time) had been in his car seat. Both David and our son confirmed that, yes, he had been strapped into his car seat. They asked him how he got out. He told them that a light came down and unbuckled his car seat to get him out. His story has never waivered all these years. The policeman showed David why he kept asking about our son being in his car seat....those poles had slashed through the car seat right where his head would have been had he still been in that car seat. Our baby would have been decapitated. That "light" saved our son's life. I have no doubt of the source of that light and am eternally grateful for it. I learned a weather lesson with that hurricane. It doesn't matter how far inland you are; if it wants you, it will go well inland to get you. It also affirmed my belief in a loving Heavenly Father and Guardian Angels. Have a blessed weekend!

Hey Guys, Thanks so much for the informative video and sharing our new feature. We are really looking forward to your video on using the Chromosome browser. Please do get in touch if you need any help with our extra features before hand - such as Downloading the segment data and table views.

My Heritage is my favorite Chromesome Browser

I too am a huge fan of My heritage 😀

Thanks for the video. What is the best way to document the SOURCES for DNA results in a report? Footnote standards? Complete description in the text of the report? Graphic representations comparing multiple kits? Spreadsheets/tables?

For those who like 2D, MyH's AutocClusters shows the same info in 2D.

My problem with Gedmatch is that most of the matches posted have no gedcom files attached to their profiles. Kind of defeats the purpose.

Gedmatch for DNA, as most of my ancestry comes from a small area in Ireland (60+% in the same graveyard as far back as I can go) need to double and triple check everything...... Ancestry for everything else, recently joined MyHeritage and hate it, am I missing something?
