Karen walks us through Ancestry DNA’S new ‘do you recognise them?’ feature.
Have you had your Ancestry DNA match list updated to the new feature? If you know how a match fits into your tree you can add the details! After creating a Quick and Dirty tree for Nicky I was able to work out that she was my uncle’s third cousin.
Nicky is from my uncle’s paternal side so I click on father’s side and I’m then asked to assign a relationship.
I click on 3rd cousin but you can see Ancestry give me all the relationship options they could share (working from most to least frequently occurring).
I click on the ‘Yes’ button under ‘Do you recognize them?’ I now get a screen asking for more details.
It’s easy to amend by going on the match’s page (click ‘view match’) and clicking on the pencil by the new information.
Once I’ve confirmed it, the match screen adds the new information and I’m ready to go!
