Heads Up on Changes

Thomas MacEntee sent me this:

Hello Susan C ,
One of my goals is to make sure you and all genealogists are informed of upcoming changes - especially when it is a HUGE one at AncestryDNA!

While there has been no formal announcement, several genetic genealogists with inside knowledge have helped to warn AncestryDNA customers:

AncestryDNA is recalibrating its algorithm to help remove false matches. However, this means that any current matches less than 8cm will NOT be displayed!

What should you do? Well check out these articles by knowledgeable DNA and genealogy experts on the procedure to preserve these matches:

REMEMBER! Knowledge is power. AncestryDNA will make an official announcement next week, but please don't put this off if you have matches you want to preserve. Cheers!
