Martin, when I go into my matches I do not have any symbols that identify if the match is through the paternal, maternal or both. Should FTDNA automatically add this feature or do I need to do something that results in the appropriate symbol being highlighted. I have a close relative match (12 segments, 245 DNA, 49 longest block) identified as possibly being 1st - 3rd cousin / Gr/half/uncle/aunt/neice/nephew etc. They don't have a tree to view and don't answer emails. Plus from my research they do not feature in any genealogical limbs to date. The name is rather unique so would definitely stand out. How do I work out from the chromosome browser if they are paternal or maternal (or not related at all as possible rogue match)?
Extremely helpful video. Great examples and explanations
