hrfrantz 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2005 As we gather DNA information, TMG needs formatted locations for DNA data (tags?). A style similar to FamilyTreeDNA or National Geographic results would be an excellent start. Minimally both yDNA and mtDNA data should be supported. Organizing the info in a text box is a challenge and not very reportable. Any suggestions? Am I missing an existing function? Will TMG add tags to support DNA/genealogical research?

Otherwise it looks like a big plain text memo box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The RUG EC asked me to look into the DNA business relative to TMG so I'm beginning to look down into the barrel. After following your lead to the DNA log I tried the "More information about this test" bar and received nothing but the good ol' internet "not found" response. I gather you're into the use of DNA fingerprints so perhaps you can shed some light on what seems to me to be missing web sites. Also, could you confirm for me that TMG offers no additional facilities for DNA work other than simply having a place to record the DNA of individuals; there's no "matching" capability - true? I looked around briefly and didn't find the DNA fingergprint information as a possible output of any report - perhaps there is one; if so please point me in the right direction.

Dick <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What was your selection when you got the no information? I just checked all and they all take me to a site. All TMG does now is allow a place to record the DNA results. There is no reporting or matching capability. I had a 25 marker test done about two years ago to verify that I had myself in the right Lawrence line as one of my connections was based on circumstantial evidence since many records had been destroyed here in the south. I matched on all 25 markers with another researcher who's lineage is more thoroughly documented and it proved I had myself in the right lawrence family...the branch could still be wrong but it does give credance to my circumstantial evidence.
