shared matches

[cathyrin]

I was happily using the shared matches feature for a while, and then, yes, it seemed to just clunk out. However, the search feature has improved...I can now search by name AND location. I will also try the refresh feature and see if shared matches works. Thanks for the tip

Welcome to Rootschat, cathyrin 

It's getting slightly better but I still have to use the refresh regularly.

I'm going through all my under 20cM matches systematically, allocating them to various groups via the new colour markers . They are one of the best features of the new version.
It's annoying that they only 'share' at this level if they match others at over 20cMs.

Please complain about this limitation on "Was this useful: Please provide feedback" link in the bottom right corner, if many of us do this hopefully they will change it and at least reduce it to 15 cM or allow us to change the lower limit in options somewhere.

I've complained about it quite a few times there, melba. You should know me by now 

Add - also referred them to other sites that do do this, etc.

I honestly don't know about MyHeritage or 23andme do they allow smaller shared matches to show?

My Heritage does

Here's a snip of part of a My Heritage listing showing the shared matches between me and a match. The right hand column shows if there is triangulation. You can then click on that to examine in more detail.

In addition to the listing, it also gives a chart of shared segments.

Thanks Gadget, I did have a quick look at the chromosome browser before but I hadn't noticed some the shared matches were below 20 cM. Given there is a chromosome browser, does that mean all shared matches on MyHeritage actually DO share EXACT segments? That is sometimes not the case on Ancestry with A who matches B then each matching C, D, E in different places.

As far as I know, the ones that triangulate do.
