I had apparently created a quick placeholder for her and then forgot what I had done. Poor Charlene was connected to her own card in my tree, but not the Charlene where she belonged. If you see a DNA symbol on their placard in the tree, but no parents or family members, you’ve probably done what I did. If I accidentally connected him to his name in my tree, he would have no genetic tree-based tools because his ancestors aren’t in my tree. His name in his tree has a DNA icon and his name in my tree does not. It definitely means there is no DNA kit attached to this person’s profile in this tree.įor example, my husband is in my tree and in his own tree, but his DNA is connected to him in his own tree, not “him” in my tree. If you DON’T see a DNA symbol on their tree placard, this may mean you’re in the wrong tree. When you click on that person, you’ll see their name displayed in their position in the tree, along with the DNA symbol.
If your relative’s relationship is shown appropriately to you, next, click on that person’s name to be SURE you’ve connected the DNA kit to that person. If the person IS connected appropriately, you’ll see the correct relationship to you. The item blurred out below Charlene’s name is the year she was born based on what was entered when the kit was uploaded. If the person is NOT connected to a family in your tree, you’ll see something like the view above that shows their name but no appropriate relationship.
If you click on the down arrow, the active tree is displayed as orange, and the other trees you have uploaded are grey.īe SURE the tree the person should be connected in is the active tree by clicking the appropriate tree.Īt the far right-hand side of your tree page, type the name of the person whose test you’re managing, by the name listed on the test. I uploaded a separate tree for his family so his family can see tree members that are only relevant to him.Īfter you click on Family Tree, on the left side, you’ll see the tree name and down arrow. For example, my spouse and I do not have children together, so there will never be anyone who shares both of our DNA or ancestors. If you are not related to them by blood, such as an in-law or spouse or someone else entirely, then you can either connect them to the proper place in your tree or upload a separate tree for them. If you are related to that person by blood, then connecting them to the proper place in YOUR family tree is best. If you have uploaded multiple family trees, be sure to select the CORRECT family tree where the person should be connected. Let’s look at each step so you can check too.Īt the top of your account page, select Family Tree. I discovered that I had connected them, kind of. More importantly, how can you check each of the tests that you manage to be sure they are connected appropriately?Įven if you’re SURE you’ve connected them, please check. That lone person is who the DNA kit was connected to, but not to anyone else in my tree. Those two facts, together, didn’t make sense, so I investigated further and realized that somehow, I had managed to create a single entry for each person, disconnected from everyone else in my tree.
