FTDNA/GEDMatch update

GEDmatch.com now has this notice on the home page:
Note that existing 'F' (FTDNA) kit numbers on GEDmatch will be changed to 'T' followed by a random kit number. This will probably happen in the next few days. This change does not affect Ancestry or 23andMe kit numbers. If you need to make copies of your results with the old kit numbers, please do so now. Name and email information for matches will stay the same, and can be used to retain continuity in your records. 
Thank you for your support. 


Raw DNA file Uploads
We are ready to receive FTDNA raw DNA files as soon as the new file format becomes available for download from the FTDNA site.

Great news that this is nearly resolved, even if we do have to change our kit numbers there.
