I'm really glad they finally did this. I've found matches that I'd realistically never would have found otherwise because they normally cut people off at 20cm. I had one match that never responded and thanks to this I found their daughter who actually had a tree and it helped confirm my suspicion that these matches were part of a brickwall I had

The Enhanced DNA matches should be part of the subscription and not an add feature.

The regular subscription is too expensive as it is.

Pretty soon all you're buying is the right to give them all your data so they can sell it. Other than that maybe $5 per time you log in, $20 for each census you want to look at, $2 per message you want to send, $15 per public tree you want to look at.... Thank goodness My heritage is growing rapidly

O the three Ancestry show me no cost are my two children and my grandson. No surprise there.

I just subbed to the pro tools. Still wrapping my head, because it's new, but seems to be helpful. It would have helped me figure out faster a cousin match. What took me months to place an adopted child in my tree would have been solved easily had I known he was the half brother of another already placed cousin. She didn't even know she had a half brother. Oh the secrets Ancestry holds in silence.

This is what has long frustrated me about Ancestry. You could of course ask all your matches how they are related to your shared matches but many don't know what that means and most don't even respond or have trees

i have quite a few matches with common matches on both my mother and father's side. This new feature is the only one I've been looking for. So I paid up for pro tools, just to get my hands on this data. I told myself I will cancel it once I've gathered what I'm looking for. As I suspected, the cM values that cross over into the other parent are almost all low, 20 cM or so. But there have been a couple of surprises. Still sorting things out.

I was hesitant to try this, but within first day of using it I was able to break through a long time brick wall. I will say I had already built many floating trees with match information and other sources for years. So I was able to use all that with the shared matches tool to see the pattern I was missing.

I have found the pro tools really helpful. The enhanced match has helped track down links too.

Hi Connie. I just use this feature today for the first time, love it 😍! I is heading me in a direction for breaking down some brick walls. Amazing 🤩

1:14 - LOL! Perfect side image. My sentiments exactly. I prefer my 1 time only DNA Tools payment on MyHeritage. Seeing cousin matches is great, though. My dad's 2nd cousins and I may have just started to break down a brick wall on my dad's Lithuanian great-grandfather's side. His 2nd cousins and his sister all matched this one person, and after some genealogical footwork, determined two possible grandparents (plus a name change along the way). One of the match's grandparents were from Latvia, the other from Ukraine. We all match with the shared Ukrainian matches on MyHeritage (We had suspected Latvian, or Belorussian based on prior Ancestry guesswork). I also found another match on Ancestry that my dad has, but the 2nd cousins do not (this match, and the other match's parents were likely siblings), and he has a tree going up a generation to two further. Now, we know this shared ancestor is likely a sister-in-law, or niece of my Lithuanian great-great grandfather. There's also Polish and Ukrainian matches on my great-great-grandfather's spouse's maternal side (also a brick wall). I've also been able to group these cousin matches on MyHeritage. Maybe the Pro-Tools could work with my grandfather's side (also a brick wall), since my dad has many 5th-8th German (This one's known based on a papertrail - Polanized Germans), Russian and Ukrainian cousins on Ancestry. The latter two match "both sides" on MyHeritage, but showed Paternal on Ancestry, which probably complicates things.

I'm so confused. I paid for the AncestryDNA Plus but still don't get the pro tool?!?! damn. And to find where to purchase the pro tool has been near impossible tbh. FYI- If anyone gets stuck in AncestryDNA Plus membership like I did, I had to modify my account out of DNA Plus to US Discovery, then it gave me the option to add the Pro Tools addon.

Welcome to the new Ancestry that is going to nickel and dime you to death with an endless stream of new add-ons they claim you will need to use their web site. I'm learning some of the pro-tools instead of helping you solve problems are making problems that don't actually exist. However you get to pay for the pleasure of having them waste your time.

Have you made a video like this beyond close cousins, I’ll check of course on your profile?

@AnthonyMorgan-m9p 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for the great video. I'm slightly confused, though, as to whether this can be used to break through brickwalls? I have 'orphaned' clusters of matches where a dozen people are all related to each other, but - because my tree is incomplete - I cannot figure out who our common ancestor is. Will this act like a Venn diagram and allow me to find out who *their* common ancestor is (and thereby, mine). Thanks!

If you change the relationships of your matches, does it potentially affect the relationships of shared matches and would those updates show for those shared matches?

@GenealogyTV 3 ай бұрын

No because it is using dna not trees.

How do we get Ancestry to STOP the annoying adds for Pro Tools. I have no interest in subscribing to Pro Tools, yet my work in constantly interrupted by the pop up adds.

The only thing these DNA tests are good for is to build up the numbers in your tree which some think is the most important thing. All genealogy sites are riddled with errors, people copying others badly researched data and not doing their own research.

@tomask1436 5 ай бұрын

This is very true on Ancestry. They don't allow you to see which DNA segments you share with your matches so you can only randomly connect the matches to the tree without any additional verification. Many people say that the shared matches are the only tool you need but it is practically false. There are tons of evidence that relying only on the shared matches can be misleading and can lead to false conclusion. I would even bet that more than half of the connections made by these people are wrong and the shared DNA was inherited from completely different ancestors. On the other side, MyHeritage and FTDNA allows you detailed chromosome mapping so you work with exact data you share with your DNA matches.

@@TheDanEdwards Yes! I worked on the Joseph Newton Chandler mystery using Ancestry and GedMatch a few years back-the first real forensic Genealogy case. Dr. Colleen Fitzpatrick is a genius. My client was a Y-DNA match to the perp. Google it-quite a journey.
