It (normally) comes in useful when you need help finding whereabouts a record is on the page, for instance if it's all faint or scrawly handwriting.

Thanks. Never knew Doreen was a Simpson, dad only mentioned a Mrs Simpson at Lansdowne Road, I never saw or heard her - or any family she may have been part of. That all happened at the back of house where nobody visiting ever went; the stairs up to my father's sister's living area were near the front of the property. The ground floor hallway went straight back to the end of the house, but you always turned a right into grandma's room after coming in through the front door. The Simpsons were never mentioned by anyone except my father, & in retrospect; but for that, I would not have known there was another surname associated with the Lansdowne Road household.

Does My Heritage have strict privacy rules? After gedmatch releasing data I'm wary of uploading anywhere. Also with the chromosome browser can up opt in to that? I'm not sure I want people to be access my family's raw data.

Yes, you can opt in or out of the chromosome browser, and it won't show your full data to your matches anyway, just which bits match to them.

I like that concept.

Thanks.
