Absolutely create a tree to go along with your DNA test. There is nothing more frustrating as a researcher than to have an interesting match that doesn't have a tree and hasn't logged on in the last year. The odds of learning anything from that match is about zero.
It's only zero if you have no shared matches and they have no location listed and a non searchable name (because it's a nickname or too common).
@@SamStone1964 Yes, it gets my goat when they make a nickname yet no doubt have a Facebook page that has their real name and everything they do every day.
The number before the group is what I’ve been doing for a while and haven’t seen anyone doing that til today! It’s so easy and keeps the colors straight when you look at the groups as I don’t need to see if it’s a paternal side or maternal side because of the colors. If I need to go further in a group, I sub group as 1a- different shade of red. So easy
Also I always make groups 1-4 paternal and group 5-8 maternal, all dna kits I manage I keep the same color and groups.
It's great that I can see whether matches are on my maternal or paternal side.
What I would love (please, please, 😁) to know about my matches is whether I match on their paternal or maternal side. It would save me trying to build trees on both sides of their family, when the relationship is more than likely just on one side.
Some matches have been very helpful in letting me know this information, but, unfortunately, the vast majority don't respond.
Thanks.
I second this strongly!
I did the DNA test to break through brick walls. My parents and older siblings were immigrants. All my first cousins on my maternal side are 10-20 years older than me. My cousin comes up as a 1/2 uncle or granduncle, something like that. My husband's side it was to confirm I was researching correctly and help sort out his Newfoundland (endogamy) side.
I just wish there was a way to do thru lines without making my tree public because there are family members that does not want my family tree public on he internet for privacy reasons
I have taken a DNA test and I did take it to initially get matches to help Perfect or prove my tree. Make sure I was falling the right path and secondarily to try to break through some brick walls.
Poll 1…Taken a test and still scratching my head with some of the matches…poll 2… did the test for a brick wall…great grandfather on father’s side and great grandmother on mother’s side….yes, two surprises…a half nephew which caused quite a lot of upset in the family and a half 1C1R who is a delight
Have taken DNA test. Have busted several brick walls through shared DNA matches.
AMAZING CONTENT. THANK YOU
Just wanted to let you know that you currently cannot add multiple people to a color cluster. It is making you do it one at a time. Can you get that fixed?
Love learning something new! Thanks
Greetings from Bermuda Crista! Just deleted my old groups and in the process of redoing...So much better!!!!
I enjoyed your presentation as always. DNA tested, Love the new pro tools!
I have to figure out how to fix my research. Somewhere along the way I missed a label on a connection and it got mixed about 4 generations back with current and I can't figure out where the error is that caused the big mash-up. Its overwhelming to try to fix it.
Greetings from Curacao🇨🇼
Very curious thinking about getting it
How come we can only see our matches in the US and Europe but not in the Caribbean like Curacao and we also have trouble seeying Suriname?
Love the color idea. I need to do this!
I have taken it twice! Got a big surprise!
I had to place IT tech support issue with mine... The relationship matches aren't showing correctly for myself and my father.. Instead of father/daughter it shows as if we are 1/2 siblings or niece/nephew. Everything else in the trees are correct. Weird. I hope IT Tech can correct this..
I have tested my siblings ,parents, and also an aunt do you label the dna matches for each family member separately or only your own dna matches.
I have taken the AncestryDNA test
Okay, its Larry again have taken the DNA Test
How soon do you think that parents 1 & 2 will be sub divided into Grandparent 1-4?
Ancestry is not the same anymore you have to pay for EVERYTHING I hate that
Agree! Putting everything but basics behind a paywall is frustrating. Hiding info on YOUR dna results unless you pay, pay, pay is ridiculous. Older tests in the data base, built up that data base for Ancestry to brag about and we paid a lot more than new tests are paying now ($39 in the USA! on sale).
DNA and Pro Tools are not of interest to everyone. So by separating out these options, you only have to pay for what you want and will use. It’s the same as for your Ancestry subscription. Why pay for world access if you’re only interested in the United States.
@@sandycoon3981 I'm not talking ProTools, without a subscription you can no longer even see Shared Matches nor even snippets of trees! If one has taken a DNA test, surely they are interested in their results and shared matches is rather a big part of that. Shall I go on?
I wonder if they might consider including pro-tools in the world deluxe membership, not ideal but it would be good to have. I have relatives who are frustrated to have paid for the DNA kit, and then had access to key features they were using we’re put behind the paywall. I wish that they have allowed those who had their DNA tested before a certain date exempted from needing to pay for Pro-Tools to use Thru Lines or to see which of their matches are shared.
If I am looking for my paternal grandfather's parents, what level do I make groups for? I'm confused. You talk about finding your grandparent's parents, and then you make groups for your grandparent's parents. I don't know who they are; I can't make group with their names. So does that mean that I can only make groups at the generation level that I know all of them? That would be my grandparents; I know all of them. Do you have a video about how to do this just to find an unknown great grandparent?
Something not usual, my parents are siblings. Because my aunt is related to me on both sides. She shows 45-52% 2,703 cMs. She is listed as my full sibling. In the predicted relationship chart does not give me the option to choose aunt.
I've seen something similar in one of the trees I'm working on, where a woman married her uncle. There were several others who married close family members.
Yes, a few years ago
When was this recorded?
She has a schedule on her website. It looks like this may have been recorded on Dec 11th?
I took the DNA test when it was first offered. It has been invaluable. However, I have matches when I choose whether they are a paternal or maternal match. I've chosen paternal matches only to have ancestry tell me that the matches are maternal. I've researched and the person has proven to be a paternal match. I know their place in my tree and how we're related. Could we be related on both sides of my family even though ancestry hasn't indicated this? This has happened several times, I generally leave it as a paternal or maternal match.
You might be running into endogamy.
Parent 1 is my dad
Parent 2 is my mom
Greetings Crista Happy Holidays.
Can't wait for the next video. I use FTM with Ancestry and have color coded them the same without using an emoji in the suffix field. I dont even know how to do that LOL.
Easy for you to group the DNA matches you showed us because you knew who they all were! I think it would have been helpful to show in more detail how to group matches, especially as you get further down the match list. Why don’t you use the “Leeds” method?
I group based on shared matches.
My husband and I have taken an Ancestry DNA test as have our two sons. I can't understand why they have DNA matches that I or my husband don't. Are these false matches?
I have an 85 year old spouse we have tried several times for her to fill the vile she cannot come up with one drop of syliliva. A nurse friend suggested having her smell horseradish still no results. I contacted Ancestry they tell me this is the only test they will accept any suggestions
Go to my Heritage and all you do is swab the inside of her cheeks to get sample
There's several OTC products for dry mouth, which I used on my mom. You might try that. They come in a small spray bottle.
How do you add an emoji to the suffix field?
For me, I used my iPad to edit the person’s profile. Once in the suffix field, I changed my keyboard to the emoji selection and picked the appropriate emoji. Clicked save and the emoji was in the suffix field.
If you are on a Windows PC, hold the Windows key + the . (period key) which opens the emojis that are built into Windows. In the choices of types of emojis click the heart symbol. Pick what you want from the many kinds of emojis and post it into suffix area of the person.
OMG, such great info! I'll be binge working on Ancestry as soon as I get these Christmas quilts done! 😊❤
I have taken the test.
I want to find out if we are related to Jon Jay, I haven't taken the test but some of my children, brothers, sister and mother have... And though I have tried to follow us back I have only made back to my great great grandfather who says his parents were in Tennessee, but I was unable to find any record of them

ancestry dna yes
Took DNA test to verify my tree.
I have taken a test.
Great database of DNA results and a good interface with some nice tools, but it would be so much more helpful if Ancestry had a chromosome browser with a triangulation tool.
