Just in case you haven’t checked your AncestryDNA results lately, just 13
days after my class ended, yep they have made the big change I told you they
would be making.
I have written several pieces on this blog (http://family-genealogy.blogspot.com/)
regarding this and those of you in my DNA class got a full briefing on the last
night.
So how did it impact my all the DNA test I manage?
Using their new testing levels, kicking out the IBS and leaving the IBD
(see you should have taken my class and you would know what that is), I have the
seen the following reductions:
My AncestryDNA test
Before 182 pages of matches (9100 matches) After 30 pages of matches (1950 matches)
78.6% of matches deleted
My father AncestryDNA test
Before 173 pages of matches (8650 matches)After 57 pages of matches (2850 matches)
67.1% of matches deleted
My mother AncestryDNA test
Before 210 pages of matches (10500 matches)After 37 pages of matches (2850 matches)
82.4% of matches deleted
My spouse AncestryDNA test
Before 320 pages of matches (16450 matches)After 83 pages of matches (4150 matches)
74.8% of matches deleted
My cousin paternal AncestryDNA test
Before 299 pages of matches (14950 matches)After 74 pages of matches (3700 matches)
75.3% of matches deleted
My spouse’s cousin paternal AncestryDNA test
Before 329 pages of matches (16450 matches)After 83 pages of matches (4150 matches)
74.8% of matches deleted
So now I get to scrap 2 1/2 years worth of careful work, research and study
and start from scratch again.
That gnashing of teeth you hear are mine. I will have more to say on this here my blog as soon as the gnashing stops.
