If results/matches aren't showing up as expected on your shiny, brand new results, this post by Roberta Estes on her DNA Explained blog may show you why.

Familton
Remember to also check the Surname specific blogs for activity.
The FAMILTON one has had an exciting update in that we've finally proven that two Scottish Borders FAMILTON/FAMELTOUN etc families, both weavers in the early 1700s, are indeed genetically linked - and in Haplogroup G.
As a result all DNASurnames pages have been refreshed, including adding a few twigs to the Y-DNA Haplogroup chart to specifically include the haplo G branches concerned.

Segmentology
I hope that those of you interested in Autosomal DNA are following a new blog on the scene: Segmentology.
Read why we triangulate our matches from Mr Triangulation himself, Jim Bartlett, a stalwart of the DNA-NEWBIES list, and read what Roberta Estes has to say about Jim and his new blog.

FTDNA Project Activity Feeds
If you have tested with FamilyTreeDNA, you will have received an email recently about their new MyGroups facility.
For those projects whose administrators have converted to the new feature, there are daily discount code offers being posted on the Activity Feed.
Check them out.
The codes are valid until used (not just for the day posted) BUT can only be used once, so first in, first served.
I am still checking through the conversions of all my projects, but think I have converted them all, even without any tidy-up of the associated information, much of which is long overdue for a revision.
To access, click on the globe in the top right of your screen
and click on a notification for the project you wish to view, or the Activity Feed if none.
Why not contribute a post or question about your dna experiences while there?
For the projects I administer the settings are that the posts are private to the group, so you must be logged in to view and to post.
If sufficient interest is shown in making them public instead, this can be changed.

Transfers to FamilyTreeDNA
Here's a code to use to transfer your Ancestry DNA matches to FamilyTreeDNA and help unlock a kit - 4 more needed :)

MyGroups
FamilyTree DNA have released a beta version of a project related Group "message board".
Two of my projects are participating in this and FTDNA would appreciate any feedback.
FFLornaHen - my autosomal dna project primarily for my relations and those that match them, or those I help with their dna data
RUNCIMAN.
FFLornaHen's MyGroups postings are entirely private to the project members
RUNCIMAN is publicly visible but only project members can post.
Read about how to use them in FamilyTreeDNA's Learning Centre
https://www.familytreedna.com/learn/?s=mygroups
When you log in there will be a notification bar across the top of the page with a link and email address for feedback.
