I thought of an idea last night. When I first saw the tasks button, I thought it was perhaps a ToDo list kind of thing. I would find that extremely useful. My idea would be each profile could have a place (separate from Notes) to list and print out research that you need to do, especially apart from Ancestry: i.e. Go to or contact the courthouse in the county your parents were married to get a copy of their marriage record, that is not online; locate a Family History Center where you can look at parish records that are digitized, but not online; find time to locate your ancestor on county tax lists; look up deeds, etc. Then have a place where all the ToDo's could be compiled into a master list that could be printed off as well.

Yes. I thought the same thing. Family Tree Maker has a to do list that I love. Within an ancestors profile I can add a "to do" item and the set the location. I use it for any thing I need to do outside of my computer. So if I need to look something up at the archives I can tag it that way. Then the next time I'm going to the archives I can print a list specific for that research trip with all the details for that location.

@@GenealogyTV yes Family Tree Makers tool is very useful to store the little tasks that you cant deal with right now and it might be easy to just remember that you need to check the record of john x but later on you might be thinking what john x or what date was i going to search or why did i need to do this. Cant recommend FTM enough. It synchs and links so well with Ancestry

Years ago an owner of a tree posted information about my family that was incorrect - showing my parents and aunt lived in a state other than where they ever lived. This person knew me but didn't reach out to determine if the info was accurate. I posted a comment that the info was incorrect and she blocked me. Some people take offense when corrected - they don't like being wrong.

I don’t like the ability to block people adding comments to one’s tree. This just leads to more errors it trees that go I corrected and more importantly can’t be seen by others with a good work process. In the last Q4 hours I added a few comments to someone’s tree with my rationale and this morning had a thank you reply from them. Naturally they are going to check my comments for validity, it if they are they will correct the incorrect family additions. Hence blocking comments is nota good idea as some people with block everyone and everything has they are not receptive to constructive comments. I am sure most family genealogists do not want this to occur.

Some useful features there for June. However Ancestry are still missing the greatest benefit to genealogical DNA researchers, that is “providing the DNA segment data related to one’s identified shared matches”. Please would Ancestry provide this feature soon, you lead the market with respect to numbers of DNA tests in your database, but the tools to establish how one matches a given shared match are sadly lacking when compared to other providers. you may have had good reason’s for not providing this before, but it is a key feature to DNA researchers that ANCESTRY are failing to provide.

@@joanhudson7317 I agree with you on that one. I think Myheritage should rethink their business model. Accessing your own tree and in fact posting all the information on your tree you want is prohibited unless you join their sub and pay. I think they should do what Ancestry does and allows people to add ALL their tree and not make them pay to see their own tree. In fact that would generate MORE money becuase people would want to see what is in there otherwise people just won't bother to post a tree! That is what make Myhertiage virtually unusable for me is that people I think are being discourage from uploading their entire tree or adding a tree unless you pay out. I think the Ancestry model in that case is pretty good though I can see pretty far up the tree IF they post them in Myheritage whereas in Ancestry I can't unless I join back up.

MyHeritage’s tree errors utility is a pain the butt. It keeps telling me that I have an error because I have a burial date listed after a death date. According to them, one can’t have anything after a person dies. And it does not pay attention to date prefixes like “before”. So if you correctly say as a placeholder that a mother was born before some year that is calculated to be 12 years before her first child was born, the system thinks you are saying that the mother gave birth at age 12, because it is ignoring the “before”. Their utility just makes more work for me now. I wish it was better.

I'd *love* if the new ethnicity estimate was finally updated. When is it releasing? Also, 23&Me has a whole section of their results that let you know what century (on a scale) your relative is from the DNA you have. Example: Scotland descendants from your DNA are from 15th century (provides the years range.)

Connie, I love the channel, and you constantly provide great tips. Please, please, can you ask the Ancestry team to provide an Export to CSV button at the top of the DNA match list. Some of us use Excel for various things but getting data from your match list easily and simply, with it constantly being updated it would really help - particulalry for those of us who manage many DNA tests on behalf of others.

Every once in a while a feature that is being tested, presumably, pops up on Ancestry, then disappears. Most recently, when single-clicking on a person from the tree view, a side bar appeared on the right where the quick edit information showed up, and it was possible to keep that open, adding children/siblings, etc. Also, the relationship of that person to the home person (2C3R, for example) was given. There might have been a couple of other things as well. It came and went very quickly, unfortunately. Another fleeting feature was when viewing a tree in pedigree layout, single-clicking on a person brought up birth and death dates and locations in a box to the right. This was very helpful because ordinarily that larger pop-up box of information appears directly over the person’s name, obscuring the names of others nearby. The off-to-the-side box made it possible to jump directly from person to person without first clicking off one, then clicking on the next. It was a nice feature. Wherever Ancestry can reduce clicking, the better. All that said, Ancestry’s site seems to be more intuitive and easier to navigate than other sites. Thanks for all you folks do there at Ancestry! Edited: Oh, that's funny! After typing this, I opened my tree on Ancestry, and a single click showed the right-side box mentioned in my first paragraph here. Hmm, it did at first, now it's back to the old style. ??

Request to Ancestry: Give us a way to keep individual deceased people private in a public tree. I want my tree above my grandparents to be public, but my grandparents on down to be private. The only way Ancestry lets me do that is to keep the dead people living, which means I am constantly annoyed by “hints” to their death information. This is a privacy issue for me.

I have experienced the opposite error in Thrulines. Full cousins are listed by them as half-cousins for me much of the time. I did figure out why Ancestry had listed a full first cousin as a half cousin. This was a cousin whose tree I also managed! Ancestry was assuming that our listed grandmothers were two different people, when insofar as I could see, they were listed exactly the same. But the computer saw one tiny difference in our listings of her, like a comma after a space or something like that in one and concluded they were different women. Changing it did not work, so I wound up removing her tree, including her data in my tree, downloading my tree and then uploading it to her account, and then identifying her in that tree as the DNA tester. Only then did Ancestry determine we were first cousins.

@@UnclGee I would guess that somewhere in the profiles of the individuals involved, there is a mistake in how the parents are attached to children. Like sometimes a second wife is attached to the children a man had with his first wife, and that happens because later censuses make Ancestry assume that the second wife is the mother of the children still in the home. And Ancestry often will give a child two mothers if the first one was listed previously but died. They will also list two fathers. You have to check each profile and manually correct the relationships for the computer to show the right relationship. So check that first. See if you can find an error in the parent-child relationship connections in your tree.

I see this problem on my tree and all of the other trees that I have access to. The problem persists on both the browser and the Ancestry app. Do you have any half relationships on your tree where you can check if the label is correct? Thanks.

I am so happy to report that one of my Mom's Irish communities has been narrowed down to a location between two small market towns just 8 miles apart (one in County Cavan and the other in County Monaghan). And it just so happens that her grandfather was born almost exactly in the middle of those two market towns! And what seems equally amazing to me is that my kids (that man's 2x great grandchildren) have that same community in their DNA results! In our situation, we were lucky enough to have known that information all along . . . but just think of the possibilities for someone who might not have any idea where to start searching for their Irish ancestor. DNA is amazing! Thanks, Ancestry!!

My experience when contacting other users is that many don't respond (for whatever reason), and even more are not really interested to the extent of investigating and changing their family trees. I suspect that the reasons in most cases is either that they don't really understand the ramifications of DNA research or they were bought the DNA kit as a gift. As a consequence, I am less than bowled over over by these innovations. (But I might be convinced that they will be useful)

Some people see their tree is already' done' elsewhere and then don't want to spend anymore time on it or simply don't have time to do a tree. I have relatives who didn't want me to do a tree. It would be useful if people could flag whether queries are welcome or not and whether they are normally able to respond straight away, sometimes i cant spend time on this stuff for a few month or put my time into it in winter and sometimes sorting out a query takes me away from focus on somewhere else but glad to help eventually. Perhaps the welcome queries flag could time out if the account is not accessed for a while in case the person dies or is just no doing it anymore.

What I really wish is that we could ultimately have is the actual segment data like we have access to in My Heritage and Living DNA. There are a few matches from Ancestry that I really wish I could put on my DNA painter. As well, I really am hoping Ancestry implements what Krista mentioned they were working on rolling out eventually - sideview technology extended to grandparent level. Truly, If My Heritage and Ancestry both had all of each others features, they would be unbeatable since My Heritage really has some amazing features too like the Auto Clusters. If My Heritage had Sideview technology and didn't have those crazy tree limits that you have to pay for, then it would be so much better. And of course, I would wish that all genealogy platforms would have it so you could universally be able to see people names and place names in your preferred character set like Latin to Cyrillic and back as well as other character sets. This doesn't come as much into play with Ancestry as it does with My Heritage and FTDNA.

Some very useful features here, especially the collaboration ones, I've been in contact with a distant DNA match to my 103 year old grandpa who has a mystery and brick wall and there are a number of others that I've tried to message but haven't responded and you always wonder why. It's also great to know how to feedback and access forums, I've stumbled over some of these probably more from Google searches rather than the platform itself, so thank you for this. The contact I have has given me access to the match lists for the people whose DNA she manages but it is like pulling teeth trying to match them up and cluster so we can narrow down the most interesting matches we have in common to focus on so I would still ask for a way to export matches and shared matches for people whose match lists we have access to, and (and I think this is very important as well) a way to be able to match a match from one list to another who is the same person in another (especially where the match's name is anonomised). I would also like to ask if it is possible to lower the threshold for setting shared matches a little. I know this would put strain on the Ancestry backend, and I don't want it, of expect it, down to 8cM, that would be ridiculous, but for 3rd-4th cousins research maybe down to 15cM. I've looked at some matches from my list and the lists of my contacts and there are no shared matches listed for one kit (mine or my new collaborator's), but having access to both the lists there can be 5 or 6 (which are often close matches to them). This would be enormously helpful. Love the explanation for the communities (I've often wondered why certain communities appear in the Ethnicity Estimate sub sections under the countries/regions whilst others don't), and also love you can now contact through a person in another user's tree. Looking forward to more new features, keep them coming!!!

Does look good that Ancestry is increasing its feature set. I think I saw a video lately that tells me that I'm not the only one that would like to see a really powerful search tool for use in the tree...... more than just hunting names. I've been using the "custom tag" feature and creating tags like "Revolutionary War" for those patriot ancestors, "Mayflower Descendant", etc. Then I can search on those tags and have a list but it's only as good as those that I have manually tagged. And now, a question: does Ancestry (or something like Family Tree Maker which I just put on this computer recently) have a means to create a *Family* timeline as opposed to just timelines for individuals? My thought is to start with it would be worked either from myself and *backwards* in time through a specific line and default to the xth grandparents only. Then, you could add in cousins of various levels and/or aunts/uncles of various levels as desired/needed. I've found that working the dates has gotten me a LOT of stuff !!! But doing it manually is a dreadful chore when your Ancestry Tree (for example) is over 10,000 and I can't even begin to image what it would be like for the real monster trees out there........... --Duane

I have always wondered in Ancestry with their Sources, why there is not a way to tie a relationship like a parent or child to a particular Source in their list of Sources. When you click on a Fact, it shows lines to the connected Sources that support it. Wouldn't it be good if when you add a relative to your tree if the document you used to support that could be tied to the "relationship" in the same way. So if you single click on say the Father, it would highlight the Father block and show lines to the Sources that support the relationship (like the Facts do now). Double click could just take you to that relatives view like a single click does today. OR is there another way to attach a Source to a Relationship I am missing?

Since the day I found out I was adopted, I've had a deep desire to find out who I am. Not just parentage but ancestors as well. I crave tradition, history, and a sense of belonging. I have given up my search because people from both sides (mother and father) are somehow related. I know my parents are first cousins (LONG story). Sisters from one side married brothers from the other, a few generations ago. Ancestry will tell you from which side a new relative is and when I get an email, I get excited. That excitement turns to frustration when I see the new relative is related to both sides. I cannot afford to continue to go around in circles. I have always been drawn to England and British history. Turns out I'm 97% British. I will never know if I'm related to British royalty lol

Hi Connie, I know you don’t work for ancestry but in the hopes that Ancestry will read your subscriber comments, I’ve written my ancestry feature wish list here, my apologies if it’s still too long a comment, this will be the last time I’ll write these suggestions here. And first let me say that I’m a big fan of your channel, I think it’s the absolute best and most helpful genealogy site on KZbin. Anyway, here, more briefly are features I’d like to see ancestry incorporate. Ancestry, could you please increase the amount of custom groups we’re able to create to 124? Some of us label these groups as “grandparent couple” groups to organize our dna matches into a group based on which grandparent couple we share (MRCA, most recent common ancestor couple/couples we share). In my case I have 8-2nd great grandparent couple groups and 16-3rd great grandparent couple groups and so the total of those already consumes the limit of 24 groups that I or any ancestry user is able to create. So I have to put the more distant cousins who I actually share a 4th or 5th great grandparent couple with into a 2nd or 3rd great grandparent group that they don’t really belong in. If Ancestry could increase the amount of groups to 124 groups then I could create groups for my 4-1st, 8-2nd, 16-3rd, 32-4th, and 64-5th great grandparent couple groups. It could just be circles that have a number 1 2 3 4 5 in them to designate which level great grandparent they are, and then we could label those circled numbers with the last names of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th great grandparent couple and be able to filter our searches by which group of dna matches trees we want to study. It wouldn’t need to be 124 different colors, more important would be the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 within the circle. That, in my opinion, would be a very helpful feature. And also think it would be more helpful if they could show our dna matches the way my heritage does where they show you how your shared DNA matches are related to both of you, by showing how many centimorgans you and a DNA match share with each of your other shared matches. And I wish ancestry would revert to showing us our shared matches even if they only share only 8cm instead of putting the threshold where I think it currently is at 20cm. I’m a collaborator on 6 family members trees/dna test results on ancestry and I have to switch between the dna results of all those family members and I often find that those 6 family members shared dna matches are much higher than ancestry currently reveals with their 20cm threshold. And lastly, add a chromosome browser so we can study shared segments of dna like MyHeritage and Gedmatch have. Those all would be helpful features in my opinion.

Couple of things. Please keep your comments brief. It is hard to read all comments, let alone long ones. While I don't work for or have any control over what Ancestry does or why they do what they do, Ancestry is fully aware the request for more DNA groups. I suspect they are waiting for the next update. I do know they hope to divide the DNA cousins again to the grandparent level as they did with the Paternal and Maternal sides. When they do that, I can only hope that they retool the number of groups. Thanks for watching!

Of course, I am not going to process 30000+ matches. I want the gems to enhance my family tree. To that end, I apply filters and obtain a sublist relevant to my research project. How many matches are in that filtered list? PLEASE, in any DNA match list, put the number of people in the list, say at the top right of the list. Of course, if the number is small, then I can count. If the number is larger, then I need to apply more filters to obtain a more manageable list. Knowing the number of matches in any displayed list helps me to manage that list. Thank you for listening.

Since you seem to have a line to Ancestry, can I ask - have you heard any thoughts about on the "evaluate" tool on Thrulines to be able to mark them incorrect, or wrong generation, or something? I was just looking at another one with my Walker family and it appears as if a set of people have accidentally moved a child up two generations, making the Thruline incorrect (as the Thruline says its a daughter, when its really a granddaughter). At this point its not so much "evaluate" as it is to approve or leave it, and that's a real bummer!

I also saw another new feature, that I think I am going to like. And if you are in the tree view, and you go to Activity, I have three options; Tasks, Changes and Viewers. And the viewers allow me to see people who have looked at my tree in the last 7 days. When I saw it I picked a random one who's name sounded vaguely familiar. And when I clicked on it I did find out that this person is a DNA match. Which I think will be so helpful in the future. My only problem is that I don't always get to work on my genealogy right now because my kids are out of school. So I would love if there was a toggle switch where I could look at the last seven days, the last month, and maybe the last 3 or 6 months. Could that be passed along? And of course we all want a chromosome browser, so that we have more options especially for members who have not been active for years, and are unlikely to respond to us. I don't expect to have another match like my great-uncle where I found out who he was six months after he died, when his wife responded.
