I contacted Ancestry but still they are missing It was for Robert Woolford B 1803. Also my Bassett family circle 5 members, my connection is now one but Peter Bassett was mutual 2nd greatfather to all five of us who were present last time I looked. The other GGrandparents who I was connected to in the Bassett tree are still present but my connection line has gone in all but one. This is very strange where have they gone?maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02104222657373703272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-16881806414350650312016-10-16T12:30:54.958-07:002016-10-16T12:30:54.958-07:00Yup.

I was making a little progress with a pair of them, George Marshall Rathbun and Tamar Anne Garringer, husband and wife. They appeared to be potential very distant relatives.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15191837703103301923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-24661957610872203822016-10-15T17:09:53.580-07:002016-10-15T17:09:53.580-07:00Yep - only 2 NAD's left on my list!

There are legitimate reasons for me to believe those were correct, but with their disappearance, I'm not sure which ones they were now. Ancestry did some "maintenance" Thursday night, as they posted on their website, and by the next morning, some things had changed, the NAD's were missing, and they had fixed the Profile pages where everyone's Family Tree had been missing for about a month. It seems like everytime they "fix" something on Ancestry, they break something else.

It's gone along with one of my ancestor circles. The NAD wasn't possibly an <i>ancestor</i>, so no real loss. <br /><br />But I was quite unhappy to see the now missing ancestor circle gone. The DNA link to Philip Hoover and Hannah Thomas is the most substantive evidence of the presumed ancestry of my elusive ancestor Christian Hoover to date. Wonder what's going on.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09488237313647526774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-66152199617940457022016-10-14T20:04:20.392-07:002016-10-14T20:04:20.392-07:00Both my wife and I also have lost our NADsBoth my wife and I also have lost our NADsJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17779409214968505642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-87419813708881668802016-10-14T16:48:57.044-07:002016-10-14T16:48:57.044-07:00I've had anywhere from 3 to 6 NADs since they ...I've had anywhere from 3 to 6 NADs since they were introduced and there was only one that I could figure out must have been a distant cousin (the surname helped), but that NAD was only there for a short time earlier this summer.

I manage 3 DNA kits and have similar results for the other 2. <br />The NDA's are a waste of page space in my view. L Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997595978878695934noreply@blogger.com
