Your messages under the new system are in a chat format which makes it easier to read the flow of dialogue with an individual correspondent. You no longer need in and out boxes as both sides are together.

If you put 468 into the box you will see the possible relationships and their probabilities. 468 is more likely to be a great great niece. A great niece would be closer to 850 cM.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Is Ancestry still operating as normal?

Matches are still coming in regularly. If you sort by date you will see how many have come in during the last 7 days. Whether any of those are closer matches is just the luck of the draw with respect to who has tested recently.

The Common Room / Re: Uk Civil Marriage early 1900's

Google “contents of a UK marriage certificate” and you will find images of examples. It will not give you all of the parents, but will tell you the names and occupations of the two fathers, if they were known. Be aware that it was quite common for a person who did not know about their father to make up information to hide unknown parentage.
