Auto Clustering at MyHeritage

[davidft]

is this a subscription only service? I can't access it even though MyHeritage performed my test.

I don't know for certain but I would strongly suspect you need a current subscription. I recall when I loaded my data to the site there were only certain things that you could access without a subscription. Others may know otherwise.

I don't subscribe, Martin, and I've got it. Are you looking in the right place?

I don't have a subscription, and I have accessed the clusters dna tool.

I have not seen the theory of family relativity, however! - co some advice re that would be good!!

In some respects MH is playing catch up. Collins Leeds Method has been working for a few months with DNAGedcom Client and Ancestry matches/icw. It also works with FTDNA & 23andMe and is in the process of extending to other testing companies and Genesis. There is also the DNAGedcom Chrome extension in conjunction with Genetic.Family where the hope is to be able to gather matches & ICWs from wherever you have tested and merge then cluster. It's a fast changing field...CLM works well for me with possibly a smattering of distant cousins.

Having had some time to look at MH clusters, I think they will be useful, but limited by the relatively narrow band of cMs they've chosen. This may well be because of the size of files generated by using wider limits, say, 20-400 cMs, may be just too great to email. I may be wrong? Significant matches do occur even below 15, although possibly beyond the scope of most family trees, without which detailed info we're struggling.
I'll be interested to see how MH develops this tool...

Yes the 25cM lower limit is restricting. For example, I've just discovered a 6th cousin (17.5 cM across 1 segment) using non-Beta Ancestry and trees rather than shared matching.

This particular line is very dominant in my matches. I think an interest in genealogy might be genetic

my second autocluster from my heritage took 25 hours to come but must admit it brought a couple of things to attention as to where to look for a match. It must be really backlogged the one from geetic affairs comes in less than 20 mins. On the whole though, doing an autocluster on ancestry because of the size in the database, there's a lot more matches in the cluster. So I think they still need to up their dna database on my heritage. I think they were using something like 350 and 50 with my heritage clusters whereas you can vary on genetic affairs but they may give the option eventually to manipulate the figures.

Mine took about 8 hours and the limits are 25cM and 350 cm.
