I wasn't sure he was ready to widely announce it yet and was waiting until most of the bugs were gone before I recommended it to my readers. The newest version that he sent me yesterday seems to be working very well. We certainly owe him a big debt of gratitude (we takes donations too!).<br />Thanks for commenting,<br />CeCeYour Genetic Genealogisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14696248341534125135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-25946490280873820532013-06-02T20:35:20.704-07:002013-06-02T20:35:20.704-07:00Hi CeCe, Have you heard about the browser plug-in ...Hi CeCe, Have you heard about the browser plug-in (AncestryDNA Chrome Extension Beta 5.4) developed by an Ancestry.com user that is allowing folks to search surnames of DNA matches now? The Legal Genealogist posted about it today, and I wondered if you'd given it a spin yet.

It's awesome! Unfortunately, before I finished my frantic searching, it went "poof." My friend was not able to see it in Firefox but I could log into her account in IE9 and see it. With so many "matches" this is going to be necessary in order to get any value from Ancestry's test.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03335057387569710847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-15057336030659054442013-05-22T05:31:20.875-07:002013-05-22T05:31:20.875-07:00thank you CecCe for your post.

The Ancestry DNA message string has been very active in the last week with all the "yes I have it, opps now it's gone" posts. <br />We will just have to be patient and hope the final version will work in all browsers. I have been able to see the boxes if I switch from Firefox and reopen in IE, but that is a lot of trouble. <br /><br />German Magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457055921178220175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-80103228901174825652013-05-22T04:06:08.391-07:002013-05-22T04:06:08.391-07:00Good to see they've been making progress. Havi...Good to see they've been making progress. Having a search ability is getting to be a very much needed thing. Although with Gedmatch now accepting Ancestry data files there is also a desperate need to be able to search by UserID so I really wonder if the "surname" part of that search will include that capability.<br /><br />Now if we can just get them to add some chromosome browser/comparison (and dare I even add triangulation) capabilities...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02196322783406453687noreply@blogger.com
