Cool. So you just ask people if they have tested? How often do they say yes? I do use gedmatch.com, but I find the long list of people there daunting. In order to compare trees I'd have to contact each one and ask to see it. I prefer browsing the trees of my matches at ancestry.com. Though someone on gedmatch contacted me, and as a result of that conversation, broke a brick wall of mine that I didn't know I had, yet.
I've never heard of dnagedcom.com! Thanks, I'm off to play with a new toy, now.
I know! Isn't the archaic DNA stuff neat?
I have been immersing myself in the YouTube posts of the slide presentations at the ISOGG conferences in Ireland. All the 2013 and 2014 presentations are up and I learn SOO much about the kinds of things you can do with genetics for genealogy. One of the presenters, who is the ISOGG rep for Ireland, shows up in my uncle's list of YDNA matches, too. We probably had a shared ancestor about 1000 years ago, heh.
