Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Unwanted Thrulines suggestions

You can filter the green rubbish out by using filters. Select "Ancestors in your linked tree" and you won't see all of the incorrect green ancestors.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: And the next Ancestry feature is.............

In general, it is a group of people who match each other. It could be one MRCA but could span a couple of generations.

Does anyone know what the ratings are out of?  Mine come out as 9.7 and I know one of mine is not great.

It is out of 10 but it is labelled "Elite". My tree was 9.7 when I first got pro tools but I went through all of the supposed errors and fixed it up. It went to 9.8 then 9.9 then on to Elite.

Ancestry have just posted to Facebook that the 1921 England and Wales Census will be released on January 8th.

The Common Room / 1921 Census
« on: Friday 27 December 24 03:35 GMT (UK)  »
Just saw a post from Ancestry on Facebook that said something exciting is coming to Ancestry. It was a 1920s typeface and fashion. So I am guessing the 1921 Census is coming. I just searched for it and found that it should be available on Ancestry in the first quarter of 2025.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Ancestry Pro Tools price increase already
« on: Sunday 30 June 24 08:56 BST (UK)  »
I live in Australia and logged into the .com site to purchase Pro Tools as it hadn't been released in Australia at the time. It cost me $10US which equated to $17.70AU after currency conversion. A few days later it had been released in Australia and was $13AU it is now $14.99AU. So I will cancel my membership and then use the Australian site as $15 is still better than $17.70.

You need to have a 'proper' membership/subscription to be eligible to purchase Pro Tools.

I suggest people log out of Ancestry. Then try to purchase Pro Tools using this link:

https://support.ancestry.com/s/article/Ancestry-Pro-Tools-Membership?language=en_US

I didn't have the Beta version when I tried this - and I only went looking for Pro Tools because someone said they had the new tools.

It's possible that Ancestry is still rolling it out - and that I got lucky.

brigidmac - The new DNA tools available with Pro Tools are very easy to understand and make life so much easier. The only trick is when looking at the matches you share with a match, in the bottom left hand corner there will be 1 and an arrow or 1 of 1 - the former means click on the arrow to go to the next page.

I've had a "proper" membership for about 20 years. I've logged out an in several times but still no cMs for shared matches.
