new beta on ancestry dna results

[smudwhisk]

Richard,

It’s the same for us, no ThruLines are being shown, whilst we have numerous matches including known tree matches.

Glad its not just me, but sad its happening.....Still waiting for support to respond to me

I've no ThruLines too, tells me to add more people to my tree, which has 1203 directline ancestors on it.  Then again I never had any circles because it is a private tree.  I suspect it is probably because I've not saved any Ancestry records to it so it hasn't been indexed.

As for the numbers on the drop down for All Matches, I've apparently got over 34k matches in total.   I'm sure I've not scrolled through that many since the end of January ....

Here's the answer that I've just  received about the non-appearance of Thrulines:

 
Thank you for contacting Ancestry in regards to DNA ThruLines.

I can confirm for you that as this is a new feature not everyone will have this instantly. This is something that is slowly rolling out to all members over the coming weeks so you may find that if you have not got it by now you will have it soon enough. I will attach a help article below that may further explain ThruLines to yourself and how they work.

Since I sent my query (a week ago), I decided to disable the search ability of my private tree so I wouldn't even be able to get Thrulines. They obviously hadn't checked.

Well I have got a response from support, and they suggested unlinking my tree and then relinking it, then leave for 48 hours....The lady who responded said if they didn't work they would raise it with the developers as she could see I had an extensive tree, and it theory it should have generated the new features, but it is in beta so its not fully working in all cases :-). So far its been 30 hours since I unlinked/relinked my tree and no show yet on the new features working

I added new people to my linked tree and it asn't adjusted for that yet.  About 3 days now.

I have a cousin with a DNA match and a matching tree to mine, and her DNA results came in 3 weeks ago and they have never matched on the tree... Something funny is going on with the Ancestry matching/syncing process :-)

I have not looked at my DNA on Ancestry for some time When I did the other day I noticed ThruLines.
After checking them all out I have some new connections and two 4 x great grandmothers I have not seen before

Kooky, Be careful to check them out thoroughly first.

I have recently deleted my public DNA tree and added an updated 'ancestor only' one, with details taken from my fuller private tree.

Needless to say, my DNA circles have gone, it takes a few days to sort them out. More interestingly to me, my Thrulines are now all Potential Ancestors rather than actual ancestors, some valid but a lot of whom I have rejected in my research. There again, I'm expecting it to take a few days to repopulate, but meanwhile I'm left with some wild ideas.

ThruLines is very weird.  I have a bare bones ancestors only tree attached to my DNA results and my ThruLines page seems to include all of my ancestors, conveniently arranged in order working backwards in pairs.  Sort of.

One of my long-dead GGMs has a private individual as her spouse and that private individual is apparently a potential ancestor.  They are private because they are apparently still living (yes that is what Ancestry says, not an assumption on my part).  When I click through it seems that a distant rellie has that person, whom I know to have been born 1855, as still living, and rather than my GGF being the person I think they are, with a name matching my tree, they are presumably someone else who married my GGM and are still alive and kicking at the age of 163.  I hope I don't live that long.  I'm not a DNA match so hopefully I've not inherited his genes!

Similar thing with several more distant ancestors where one spouse is named and the other is private.  A couple are even genderless.  It's a wonder I'm here at all

The private thing in Thrulines just means that the details are taken from a private tree Jane, rather than that their tree says they are still alive . Obviously that's a point of some controversy, since many weren't aware that Ancestry's terms and conditions allowed them to take private tree data and join it up to make common ancestor links.
