new beta on ancestry dna results

[anner]

Can I as a question about Ancestrys DNA results, its a bit of a strange one.
My cousin has taken a DNA test, now for a little bit of history. My Dad was adopted soon after birth by his aunt, so she became my grandmother. My cousin is her biological grand daughter. Her results has shown one of my nieces to be her 3rd cousin. Can this be right? The only biological genes that are shared is between my dads adopted mother and his biological father.

You say your Dad was adopted by his aunt - do you mean his biological aunt, i.e. a sister of either his biological father or mother, not a sister in law? If she was a proper sister, if I understand correctly, you would be second cousin of her granddaughter. Your niece would be a 2nd cousin once removed, which Ancestry may show as a 3rd cousin.

I agree with melba.

Also, I  recommend checking with Painter rather than take the Ancestry, etc. relationships:

Thrulines is basically working, but when I click on one person of interest (a potential ancestor) I just get a blank page

Stonechat, Since ThruLines is still in beta testing there are some bugs still to be ironed out. If you are getting a blank page you should report that instance to Ancestry using the feedback form on the ThruLines page. They are making regular updates based on the feedback they receive.

I get nothing at all on thru-lines and several common ancestors which used to show up and were correct have disappeared entirely, just get a blank screen and no matches.

LizzieL, Try clearing your Ancestry cookies. If that does not help then you will probably need to contact them to find out why you are not getting ThruLines.

Hi
Have been reading your comments with interest, and went back to Ancestry lab and turned on the Beta feature for grouping ancestors.  Looks great, but I am completely unable to scroll down the page!  No side bar, mouse doesn't work, Page up/Page down doesn't work.  Have completed Feedback for Ancestry with this information.

I will have to switch back to the old format, which is a shame because I really wanted to try the new one out (which I had previously turned off because the filter had to be reapplied after each view of a match - also reported via Feedback).

Hello Ms C 

Ancestry can be odd in some browsers. It appears to be most stable in Firefox or Chrome. Also, you could try deleting  your Ancestry cookies (not the others).
