Adding DNA Kit numbers to Profile

Question

I am in the process of adding all the DNA kit numbers and Gedmatch numbers that were done by my family members. I manage their kits along with my own.

Question: I have a family member that when I did their test used their initials, but I use their full names in profiles. I also had him test with YDNA 67 markers which is important for our surname studies for our family. This person wants to be as private as possible. What should I do?

Answer 1

I use anonymous and then the surname or living and then the surname for people who don't want their name shown. On Gedmatch I have used the word cousin and then the surname. I should perhaps try and be more consistent between sites. One ancestry of course they default to displaying the initials only. Don't use Private and then the surname here on wikitree which is what I used to here as the error report flags them as being errors for using an army title in the name field.
