Ancestry Dna Matches Update

This is assumed to be a dna match.

Ancestry dna matches update.

However it s a small community and others have reported consistent information. On 15 july 2020 ancestrydna updated their matching white paper which is a detailed document describing how they use our dna data to match us to our genetic relatives. Ancestrydna can also help identify relationships with unknown relatives through a dynamic list of dna matches. Thus i will have to relink dozens of dna matches each.

Click a tree name or click start a tree and then link dna results. The tree i use for dna on ancestry is a public tree with only names dates and places. I was not on that call but i read about the changes on debbie kennett s cruwys news website. From your dna homepage click link to tree under your name.

Ancestry is committed to enhancing our customers experiences and supporting journeys of personal discovery. I have a private tree that is my working tree. Is beginning soon to show decimals so you don t have to save all 8 cm matches in order to be sure you save all 7 cm matches due to ancestry s rounding up. I update the dna public tree about once a year with a new gedcom from my legacy database.

Then a thought came to mind. I do not connect my dna to this tree. Your ancestrydna results include information about your geographic origins across 1 000 regions and identifies potential relatives through dna matching to others who have taken the ancestrydna test. There are now 3 scenarios ancestry can generate.

I was not on this conference call myself. We have two major enhancements powering this update. Yesterday ancestry announced that they are going to remove smaller matches from their customer s dna match list around the first of august. Ancestrydna is shaving off some of our dna match list.

This post has been updated. A shared match hint chart showing the common ancestors at the top with each members relative that leads to the member. The current threshold is 6 cm. On the surface it seems like finding identical dna segments shared by two people would be simple.

Ancestry will no longer show you matches who share fewer than 8 cm with you. While your dna stays the same our science is constantly improving to provide more precise and informative ethnicity estimates. I m going to report what was said then lay out a strategy for you. According to their research this revision will remove 2 3 of your false matches or matches who don t actually share a recent common ancestor with you.

Unlink a tree from your dna test from the settings button in the top right corner of your dna. What will my results tell me. Earlier today the learn more link at the top of the dna matches page has been updated with the following information which confirms the facebook posting. Connect your dna test to a public family tree by signing in to your ancestry account and clicking the dna tab.
