The most recent is not s close connection, but he is related to the ancestors of my great-grandmother who died in Norway in 1887. What is specially exciting is he lives in Norway and has invited me to visit him at his home when I am in Norway next Spring. The other's Grandmother was the aunt of my grandfather.Donna Hansen Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13010578509636276371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-67042051983049324222011-06-22T01:05:46.831-07:002011-06-22T01:05:46.831-07:00Daniel Horowitz spoke to UJGS in 2010 about SmartM...Daniel Horowitz spoke to UJGS in 2010 about SmartMatching. He said that MyHeritage does NOT merge trees like other sites that are trying to create a world family tree. Instead, he said that you can import the data from someone else's tree into yours, but it remains separate. Your description sounds like they are keeping track of overlaps and kind of connecting everyone "behind the scenes", but while still keeping each person's tree separate. Still sounds better to me than merging everyone and having your data get away from you.Banai Lynn Feldsteinhttp://idogenealogy.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
