- Ever wonder how the family history magic unfolds at Ancestry®? Join The Barefoot Genealogist, Crista Cowan, for a peek between the leaves of how we deliver for our Ancestry customers.
Crista is joined by Anne Mitchell Group Product Manager, Recommendations to discuss how Ancestry gives you many different ways to search the records on the site so you can find the next discovery in your family tree.
What was life like for your family? Use Ancestry to explore their past, and share their stories with the next generation.
Crista, TY for seeing the need for this video. TY Anne for coming back
We need an "Analyze" button! To look for invalid data such as a mother or father that the dates don't match (too old, too young, etc)
You mean within a specific tree? I use Family Tree Maker for this - I think Ancestry has partnered for these tools so that they can focus on other areas. There's another option that also synchronizes with Ancestry but I forget the name of it right now.
Love these videos, and the monthly updates (hope to see a new one soon...) Thanks!
As I mentioned in the Live Chat, even "Location" isn't always solid. You have to know your history as well.
I have ancestors that lived in Bethel County Maine. However: (a) Maine was formed from Massachusetts in 1805, (b) Bethel County was formed in 1820 from parts of York and Cumberland. So, depending on the timeframe, my search location has to change at the county _and_ state level.
So, word of advice to researchers: don't always expect results from an exact location search. Learn the history for the areas you search in and spread the love with a little search imprecision. That's _especially_ important for areas that were undergoing rapid development ... like the early American states in the few decades right after nationhood, or the western states during the westward expansion phase.
Hi from Australia love video on family history
It would be great if you would do a information lesson on finding lost relatives for people who were adopted or finding a paternal ancestor who’s name is unknown. I’ve helped 6 peoples find their lost ancestor, it takes a lot of work but sometimes it came be done, especially now with the dna added!
Thanks so much for watching, CJ, and for your feedback too! We wanted to reach out to let you know that Crista has uploaded a few webinars on the subject of finding biological family members, in case you haven't seen these before! We'll link some videos below that we hope you can find helpful.

We're grateful to you for choosing Ancestry to help you in your research, and it's so awesome to hear you've been able to assist people in making new and exciting discoveries and connections. Thanks again for reaching out, and have a wonderful day. 😊
Wonderful episodes w/ Ann. Enjoyed them both - thanks
Christa I have a question...I love the new parent 1 and parent 2 feature. I have aassigned colors for Maternal unassugned and paternal unassigned. MY question is this. I grew up in a large city, so there isn't a lot of intermarriage. Occasionally, I come across one assigned maternal and find I had marked them paternal. So, MY QUESTION IS_ How RELIABLE is this new assigned category? Is it possible I made a mistake or should I investigate further for a match on both sides? I am 100% European on both sides
Please add the ability to mark an ancestors race. I keep getting We think we found the parents and it is clear not correct and would easily be eliminated by adding race.
Just really getting into this after a long time fascination. Your videos have been great in learning to navigate the platform
Hi Byron, thanks for stopping by. We are glad to hear that you are diving into your family history research.
You know what would be helpful when you come workers, a live diagram showing how to go about what is explained!! It's nice to, but great to see with your eyes!! I'm sure that I'm speaking for many! I've been a paying customer for 3 years and still can't figure out, where when and what ever!! We need demonstrations! That shouldn't be too much to ask!! I've gone through the census search only to find mixed up names to a zillion in the same area, etc.! Also, not comparing, but can we not put a few names like parents and grandparents etc. , into your system and it'll make a tree for you like My Heritage! I just heard that can be done, and you guys are way more advanced than they are!! Probably won't hear back, but just letting you know how some feel, thanks! 😒
There are several step by step and screen by screen videos here on the Ancestry TH-cam channel walking through how to search. You can also find screen shots and written instructions in the Ancestry Support Center under the HELP menu on the site.
Is it possible to add a family member's 23andme DNA results to your Ancestry page?
Enjoying your videos - very helpful.
I've found that when I look at a branch of my tree that I haven't looked at for a while that then I will get hints on the people in that branch. I am kind of OCD about my hints and clear them about once a month. I look at and attach hints for those in my direct line (and sometimes their children), but usually ignore hints for collateral lines. The hints are still there (in ignored hints), so if I want to look at them later, I can.
There is a ton of great information buried in the message boards on Ancestry. Is Ancestry ever going to bring the index for the message boards up to date? How about hinting from the information in the message boards?
Are there plans to bring the same filters used in the databases to our own trees? For example, I may want to find all the people in my tree who lived in a particular location. Or I might look for those who were born outside the United States but died here (those who immigrated).
Thanks so much for watching, Michel! We're grateful to you for choosing Ancestry to assist you in your research, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. While we don't automatically offer a way to search through your tree by location, we have a feature that can help you achieve this moving forward. This would be the Tree Tags feature. You can create your own customs tags, so you can search through your tree with greater ease. We'll link more information about this feature below in case you'd like to learn more.

We hope this helps a little, and we wish you every success in your continued research!
@@AncestryUS thanks. While tags might be great for new trees, I have more than 5,000 people across my two trees. Which might be challenging to implement now. Perhaps filters on tree searches could be added to your dev team's roadmap? ;-)
Hi, Michel. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and suggestions with us, we will be happy to forward this to the appropriate department.

it would be so great to be able to search the people in my tree by location. Also searching for people in my tree using wildcards, so I can find all the Sm*ths.

The between the leaves is a thing for the family tree 🎄
I found it to be too limiting sometimes when searching from my tree, for example, i was searching one of my great grandfathers whom i had a lot of information on, including siblings, all the dates, locations ect, but I could not get any search results on his parents. I knew his parents were born in ireleand and a rough date, but i kept getting zero hits, with all the information presented.
After i removed all of the extra information, dates, siblings wife, ect, I was actually able to finally get a hit, sometimes less can be more, overall I have some fantastic results. I've been up plenty of dead ends, and have found a few interesting characters as well.
Crista....Please don't forget me any more.
I am trying to locate for a Patent for my Great Grandfather in Canada and on Ancestry. This took place in October 1874. I checked with the Ontario Archives if they had it. No results. My question would the Patent be on Ancestry. Thank-you,
Is it true that first nation DNA is not part of the information? I heard it's not allowed????
How the heck do we get a refund. I legit have been looking for hours and all it says is "2. subscriptions and refund" I literally didn't want to be charged. This happened this morning. I look up online how to do it and there's nothing. Somebody please help
How do you add (or remove) a connection for a child to an existing source on a parent's profile page?
Please please we need Vega Alta records 😔 they say they are not online because of privacy but the entire island’s records are out so why privacy concerns with Vega Alta???
Ancestry has a couple of million records for Vega Alta.
I really wished ancestry had the option of cousins. I have 2 cousin who married to brothers. But I don't know how the cousins were related.
What do you mean by "the option of cousins?" You can add cousins to your family tree. Cousins also come up on your DNA Match list. Is there somewhere else you are looking for the option?
I had a similar thing occur. When adding a name to your tree, there is the option on the left hand side to opt/choose people you already have in your family tree. That way it just adds the same ancestors you already have.
I had an ancestor who married sisters, I am descended from both sisters. 😉
I just got my DNA results from Ancestry. It only went back to 1700. I really wanted to look at mid 1550’s to now. How can we go back further?
Hey Sandy,
The results about your heritage as far as geographic etc are estimates and it slightly changes as more people upload their data. If you just got your data back I’m assuming you have your DNA results and the most probable history based on all the data collected to date. The real personal data is really found by YOU if you so choose to build a tree. I have been doing it for about a year and it is fascinating. I would start by creating your tree and “linking” it to your DNA profile. Even if you just start by entering your parents and grandparents that’s a good start. You will find other relatives who may have well developed trees already and you can use their info to get started. Then as you confirm your ancestors that you add to your tree are actually yours (conform by looking at census records, birth, death, marriage, etc) before you know you will be back many generations. I’m into the 1600s so far and have found birth records from England, Scotland and many from a very small village in Northern Italy. So just remember that the report generated is very general and to get more specific and accurate you need to build a tree of your own and spend a little time every week going backward and finding how far you can go!
The Ethnicity Estimate shows you where in the world your DNA was 500-1000 years ago. The Genetic Communities show you where your family has lived within the last 100-200 years. Your DNA Matches connect you to common ancestors back to about 7th great-grandparents - which, depending on how the generations in your family fall out can be several hundred years. Based on how DNA splits and recombines, that is about as far back as it goes.
I will never contribute my saliva and thats that. I'm hearing reports its being sold to even the Chinese. I have been a member for several years and have shared with my brothers our past. And to top it off , I love history.
Kristin I need Morea answers.
How do I find my children's father? He used an alias. My daughter did an DNA test. I am at a wall.
Hi, Evelyn. The DNA test will provide you with your ethnicity estimate and DNA matches. You can learn more about what the DNA test includes in more detail and the price here: support.ancestry.com/s/article/What-to-Expect-from-AncestryDNA
Did you also test? Your daughter can compare her AncestryDNA Match List to yours and filter out all of her "maternal" matches. What will be left are her paternal matches. How many centimorgans of DNA does she share with her highest paternal match?
Why does census only go thru 1950
The U.S. Federal Census is taken every 10 years. The most recent census was in 2020. However, there is a 72 year privacy law attached to the census. So, the 1950 census is the most recently available census. The government will release the 1960 census in 2032.
I have Indian blood on both sides. I have proof. But tribes say it is not enough. What can I do? My last name is Branscum.
It's my understanding that the individual tribes make the rules.
They told me to do a DNA test. How do I do that. I am on a fixed income and I have been told that they are very expensive.
@@lauralynn9946 Usually around the holidays or Black Friday there are sales to save some money. I did my test a couple years ago and it confirmed alot of my research.
@@lauralynn9946 the test are on sale right now for $59.00
See if you can find an ancestor in the Dawes rolls. The reason why the tribes don’t accept DNA is because there are so many mestizos from Latin America that are also Indian, but not from North American tribes. The algorithms used for the tests don’t have enough conclusive information to determine from what particular tribe in North America one may hail, which is why the paper trail is necessary.
Ancestry hints are often wrong and one reason why most ancestry trees are incorrect.
