Yes to estimates / a guide. Also anyone of your line(s) can have another biological father - non-paternity event (NPE). That changes things. We're getting into 32, 64, 128...

Can you honestly account for a high % of your DNA matches? I can't and done extensive work on mine. There are NPE at various points and would hazard this would occur for everyone at some stage in their own trees.

In my research I have viewed very large detailed trees that people have worked on for years. At a paperwork level they are fine but at a DNA match level I know areas are wrong.

Yes this happens to me.

I doubt it's a browser or cache thing. It's more likely Ancestry tinkering with things when they should leave it alone.

The people in customer services are probably unaware what's going on at that level.

I tried it with different browser just in case and I still get this new layout.

I also get one new piece of data not there before showing %

3rd – 4th Cousin
1% shared DNA | 70 cM

3rd – 4th Cousin
< 1% shared DNA | 69 cM

I don't think that info is too important. Not enough to change the layout anyway.

I see the user list layout of DNA matches has changed on Ancestry the last few days.

Each user is now in a big clunky box. You can now only fit around four user matches in an entire screen. Previously you could have around two dozen.

Also the custom group circle colours for users are now overlaid so less clear visual detail.

Completely unnecessary backwords change.

The same info now contained in a far bigger box, thus can't easily compare large numbers of users on one page, and group circle colours now obscured.

They really need to stop playing around with cosmetic nonsense like this and reducing the user experience.

Regarding ethnicity queries over accuracy - have people honestly accounted for all their autosomal matches. I rest my case.
