Get ready for the new 23andMe. Here's how: http://throughthetreesblog.tumblr.com/post/132772718132/prepare-for-the-new-23andme #genealogy Very Respectfully, Shannon -- Mr. Shannon S. Christmas Chief Market Advisor | Design Strategist The Christmas Collective <http://christmascollective.wix.com/the-christmas-collective> Strategic Real Estate and Land Use Solutions New York, NY | Washington, DC P: 212.433.0586 | 202.618.1687 F: 1.888.788.5984 http://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonchristmas/

Thanks very much for this, Shannon. I had a couple of questions about the changes that I hadn't seen addressed anywhere (my apologies if these are already answered somewhere): 1) "Soon, any anonymous matches with whom you are not sharing genomes will be unreachable." Will we still have access to the old messages sent to/from these anonymous matches? 2) Will we retain the ability to do IBD cross-comparisons between people we are sharing with? (i.e. if we are sharing with B and sharing with C, will we still be able to see segments shared between B and C?) This is a really nice feature of the current site (if somewhat cumbersome to use extensively) as it can help with figuring out whether a particular match is on the maternal or paternal side and figuring out who is included in a group with a mutually shared IBD segment originating from the same ancestor.

Just to follow up on my first question, I will share the reply I received from Christine on the 23andMe forums: > > "@GregRM, yes you will be able to view the messages you had exchanged with > anonymous matches who accepted an introduction." > On Mon, Nov 9, 2015 at 9:30 AM, G.
