Thrulines are not proven conclusions about ancestors, but suggestions that may lead you to a conclusion. If you have a public or private searchable tree connected to your DNA results, you will receive Thrulines. Adding People to Your Tree with Ancestry ThrulinesĪncestry Thrulines show how you may be connected to DNA matches through a common ancestor. You can also click on the icon in your DNA match list to go to their profile in your tree, as shown below.Īdding matches to your Ancestry tree is a helpful way to visualize DNA matches in your family tree, especially when viewing it in family/descendancy view. From the tree, you can click the icon to go to their match page. After doing this, an icon shows on the genetic cousin in your tree indicating they are a DNA match. Click the icon to find them in the tree and link them. To do this, go to the DNA match page for the genetic cousin and find the pedigree icon.
When it’s time to write a proof argument, I can cite this tree I have created or add the citations for each parent-child link directly to my proof argument.Īfter adding a profile for the genetic cousin to your tree, you can link their DNA match page to that profile. I then attach sources to document each parent-child relationship back to the common ancestor. I typically add DNA matches to my tree who I think will be useful in proving a certain case. Anyone who is marked living will be kept private when others view your tree unless you have added the viewer as a collaborator. Be sure to mark your DNA matches as living, as well as their parents unless you know them to be deceased. Adding DNA Matches to Your TreeĪdd your DNA matches as descendants of the ancestors you have already identified in your tree by building the lineage down to the present day. You may want to keep your tree at this high level of privacy if you are working on a sensitive case. To delete photos added to your private tree, go to the “media gallery” and click on the photo to delete it from your tree. Every time someone saves these photos to their tree, their username and tree name are added the list, “in other family trees,” in the sidebar of the photo’s information page in Ancestry. These images are often added when you build a quick tree for a DNA match and use the Ancestry Member Trees hints. This includes ancestor profile images, images of headstones, and so forth.
If you want to keep your private, unsearchable trees from being found by anyone, don’t save images that other Ancestry users have added to your tree. From there, select “Private Tree” and then check the box below that says “also prevent your tree from being found in searches.” To do this, go to your tree settings > privacy settings. You may want to mark your research trees unsearchable so that others don’t copy unproven relationships into their trees. Private and unsearchable trees do not appear in search results and are not used in Ancestry Thrulines. For Ancestry Thrulines to work, your tree must be set to either public or private/searchable. Private and searchable trees are shown in search results of the Public Member Tree database, but to click through to view the tree, users must first ask for your permission. People in your tree who are marked living are automatically privatized for those who are not invited to collaborate on your tree. Public trees are viewable by those you invite to collaborate and anyone with an Ancestry subscription. There are three levels of privacy for Ancestry trees: public, private and searchable, or private and unsearchable. Privacy Settings for Ancestry Treesīefore you add your genetic matches to your Ancestry tree, consider the privacy settings. If you don’t want to have a long list of Ancestry trees, create one master genetic tree and include all the DNA matches of a test taker or on a particular side of the family. However, creating a new tree for each DNA match fills up your list of Ancestry trees quickly. Ancestry has helpful tree building tools like hints that assist with building quick trees. Genetic genealogists often use tree building tools like to create quick trees for DNA matches. Many of your DNA matches may have small trees that don’t go back far enough to find a common ancestor. – build out a match’s tree checking for more than one common ancestor – do descendancy research to find potential test takers

– build quick trees for DNA matches who haven’t shared a full tree – check the evidence for each parent-child relationship and add documentation – include DNA matches from various testing databases in one central location – add DNA matches to your tree and link them back to your common ancestor Using a family tree program to organize your DNA matches is useful for several reasons.
