I started seriously researching my family history in 1968 and am still at it. I graduated from BYU with a degree in Family History and what a huge difference over all these years from snail mail to microfilm and microfiche and an infantile internet to what we have now. Thanks so much for all the expertise you bring to the genealogy world. I wish it had been available when I started out.
This was an enjoyable interview on multiple levels. Hearing the history and way Crista developed her love of genealogy was great, and reminds me of my own journey. Getting a clear explanation of the new subscription model on Ancestry was also good - as there seems to be a lot of confusion on that. All in all, a great listen.
If I understand correctly, Pro Tools will NOT be included with the All Access Subscription. If not, do you know how much it will cost to get the add on?
Great news. Even better would be to tell us the match's side we are matching on. Knowing my side the match is on is only half the batttle to figuring out any relation to our matches. Tell us whether I am on the match's maternal or on their paternal side. Should be totally doably by Ancestry. Thank you.
It's my understanding that in your Shared Matches list, all matches in the list are a match to "you", however not necessarily a match to each other. Is that true?
Thank you for responding but I don't think I phrased my question properly...what I meant to ask was within the list of shared matches, are all of those people related to each other as well?
@michellewright6468 When you select a DNA match, then open the "shared matches" tab for that person, everyone on the list is related to you, to the match you selected, and to everyone else on the list through a shared ancestor.
I am having trouble finding my BMM. The problem is my parent's generation. My parent's sister's each married into a third family my mother's sister married the uncle and my father's sister married a nephew to my mother's sister. Every time I try to divide the tree it goes haywire Me = Mother + Father = Siblings M1 + P5 married into a third family an uncle and his nephew Please help me I am trying to get to my third great Grandfather on my father side
Right now with pro ools, not only do you have to have some sort of records subscription but you also have to be the tree owner. Whatwill the requirments be for the dna tools- many people do not work their own dna matches by have made another person manager. Will a person with manager rights be able to use the new dna pro tools or can they only be used by the kits owner?
From Crista: As of today, Pro Tools can be used on any tree owned OR editable by the subscriber. The new DNA Advanced Matching Features will be available for all kits owned or shared with the subscriber.
this must be new becasue the FAQ's for pro tools says you have to be the tree owner to use pro tools "Frequently asked questions Which trees can I use Pro Tools with? Pro Tools can only be used on trees you own."
On Ancestry, My tree shows all these DNA signals to each of my ancestors. Of course, they didn't test, only me and my other family members that I have tested. But these symbols are only as accurate as my ability to have the right ancestor listed. I turned my tree off to other viewers to test a theory that others have listed as the parents of my great-grandparents. I cannot find facts to prove this fact from other trees or records, yet the DNA symbol shows that link. I'm assuming it is because other people have him as a DNA link, even though their tree doesn't really prove the connection. What's a girl to do?
Sigh. Of course they’re going to charge extra for the next dna tool. Ancestry is really annoying me these days. What I would really be willing to pay for is triangulation information. My God, even if you won’t give us segment information would you please tell us if matches triangulate? My dad’s tangled southern lines are too intertwined to figure out otherwise. That’s your three-legged stool right there:triangulation!

It was wonderful to see Crista again at RootsTech. She's really a gem, as well as a distant cousin.
Can't wait for the new feature of the shared matches!!!!!
Super charged for family research after listening to your conversations and ideas!
Thanks so much to both of you
This is ALL great news and thank you both for sharing your knowledge and insights!

Omgness...now a podcast....you are a busy lady💃💃 excited to listening in my car on the way to work🙌🙌
Will ancestry show where your matches cMs are located?
So you can use that info with a DNA browser?
Only for yourself. They need to open the Chromosome browser so you can compare chromosome matches with your DNA cousins.
I started 20 yrs ago in my family history journey.
Love,love,love Crista!!! My question is...when are you n your dad gonna start a youtube👏👏👏 that would be AMAZING n FUN❤
If I understand correctly, Pro Tools will NOT be included with the All Access Subscription. If not, do you know how much it will cost to get the add on?
Pro Tools is a $10/month add-on. I've had it for a week, and it's worth it.
bummed i missed this! I really want to know more on endogamy. I think you called it ancestral endogamy.
Here is a post with more information about endogamy. www.yourdnaguide.com/ydgblog/what-is-endogamy
Crista!
😃 I always wanted to know that amount of DNA my matches shared with each other. I'm shaking with excitement!!! LOL
Hope you are willing to pay the extra that Ancestry will charge you for this feature. 😢
Crista...nevermind on the youtube channel...i just subscribed to pajamas and pedigree👏👏👏

All of the matches on the Shared Match List are a match to you AND to the person whose match with you that you are viewing.

@@JustCallMeJaph Thank you for that clarification.

I am not confident with dna to help with two brick walls. But I keep watching and trying things
Will we ever get back the ability to see multiple Common Ancestors for a DNA match?
Probably only is you have paid the extra for the DNA tools, I think
Search Party Course - More money - lol 😢😢😢
