Ancestry dna matches not working.

The matches that are shown on your list of dna matches are based solely on the dna test. At the top of my list is a 1st cousin that i know well. Click on the common ancestors link to view all of your matches with whom a common ancestor can be identified in one list.

Search for an unlinked tree. The trees are not compared until after the dna makes the match. I have cumberbatch dna relatives i m trini. When viewing your list of matches on ancestry you may see a designation for unlinked tree.

It doesn t mean that you and your siblings don t share the same two parents. The ancestry spin that removing dna matches under 8cm is a benefit to me is absurd.

As i see it the issue of small segment ss dna matches at ancestry is best placed in context the context being the potential availability of shared matches and of trees sometimes thrulines enhanced as well as the absence of a chromosome browser.

How will removing potential research data be a benefit even if the success rate of confirming the match is low. In this post you will learn why you and your full siblings don t share all of your dna matches. That s all i say about it on here. I have 350 ancestry dna matches on my 4th cousins or closer list.
