#MY DNA MATCHES DIMMITT FULL#
Looks l like AncestryDNA is making use of the fully-identical regions that full siblings share. Previously, this category was called “Immediate Family”, which confused many people. The astute among you may notice that his sister is in a category called “Full Sibling”. When you are able to test parents, though, this is a great timesaver.Īlso on the right-hand side of the screen, notice that his matches have notes visible (Mom, Dad, etc.) Those notes, added on the individual match pages, can now be seen in the match list without a third-party extension, again making it easier to quickly screen your DNA relatives. That’s because both of his parents have tested at AncestryDNA if you can only test one parent, only matches on their side will be labeled, and if you can’t test either parent, unfortunately this feature will not work for you. The first thing you might notice is that my son’s matches are automatically flagged as “Mother’s Side” and “Father’s Side”. The screenshot below shows my son’s top DNA matches (me and his dad, his sister, and three of his four grandparents). There are other exciting changes, as well. The list of relatives is now more compact, so you can screen more at once.



These features are now available to all users of AncestryDNA and no longer require opting into “beta testing”.įor RootsTech 2019, AncestryDNA is introducing a new and improved DNA Matches page, along with other exciting features ( MyTreeTags and ThruLines).
