I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer!

If you haven't heard yet, FamilyTreeDNA and MyHeritage have just collaborated in the transfer of FTDNA family trees, which they will be retiring, so if you did your DNA at FTDNA and created a tree there, you'll want to read more about this collaboration at: MyHeritage and FamilyTreeDNA Collaboration: Transfer Your Family Tree

Also, take a sneak peek at a new Ancestry BETA feature, "Community Groups" where you can collaborate with others and get help on brick walls and research, DNA and matches, and more at: Ancestry.com Introduces Community Groups: A Sneak Peek at a New BETA Feature
