My view is the FTDNA tree has a serious deficiency in the sophistication department. In my experience, using the MyHeritage tree is slightly better with more bells and whistles, but my main beef is I don¡¯t like the 250 threshold for free members. I would say Ancestry stepped up their game with their tree functions and enjoy using it. Every few months I will cancel my subscription with Ancestry and wait until they start emailing me with hints, etc., then re-subscribe. Seems to work for me doing it that way. I haven¡¯t considered Geni and may experiment with it over the coming weeks. I tend to use Ancestry and Familysearch to work on individual lineages and post those to my main tree at Familysearch and WikiTree. I¡¯m intrigued by Geni though.?

I am not even able to pull up matches currently. My father and mother each have over 4000 family finder matches. I work on a family at a time (currently trying to sort out the Jennens/Jennings family who had several children marry into the Maupin family) and I can not even pull up matches.
I will probably go to Geni.com who does attach both Y and MT to the direct lines making it easier to follow the line for potential matches. You can also lock a person's profile to prevent unapproved matches.
