I have found several trees on Ancestry DNA where I have more ancestor matches than on or two! I have absolutely no idea where my DNA Matches this person! We definitely need a CM browser on Ancestry!! ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Andreas West via <genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com> To: Eric S Johnson <crates@oneotaslopes.org>, genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [DNA] counting databases Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2015 13:27:42 +0700 Besides the point that you might be connected through another branch you forget that you might not be connected at all. The chances are pretty good obviously if you find a common ancestor in a tree but it might still be an IBS segment and/or a NPE along the way. That's what I hate about Ancestry, not giving us proper tools as this could easily be sorted out with a triangulation tool. As they have more trees per match then anyone else it would give them the edge over their competition.

Then, even if my “DNA cousin” doesn’t respond, still I can go into my tree and add in the path from our (alleged) common ancestor down to the DNA cousin … and because I did that, Ancestry’s auto-comparison between me and thousands of “DNA cousins” finds another tree with which I share a common ancestor … etc. > > > > Of course there’s no guarantee the person who’s in both our trees is the source of our shared DNA. But it’s a way to expand my tree “out” toward people with whom there’s at least a circumstantial connection. With enough of this, patterns become visible—basically, “cross-platform DNA circles” (via triangulation). > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GENEALOGY-DNA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GENEALOGY-DNA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ____________________________________________________________ 4 Common Foods 'Destroying' Your Digestive Health ...

Hi Margo Do they have online trees of all ancestor lines going back to a time where the match may have occurred? How would a DNA browser help if there is no records of the matches ancestry. I have " I have more ancestor matches than on or two!" on FTDNA and GEDMatch with no ancestor trees and don't respond to my contacts and if they do they have only researched limited lines. Mike.
