shared matches

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

Thanks Gadget. I had not actually explored the MyHeritage shared matches in any detail. I am not sure I like the fact you only get a fairly small partial list at first and keep having to click 'see more matches' and wait 5 seconds for it to load each time. Also the lack of indication whether the matches have trees and how large they are, and the lack of ability to open pages in new tabs is a definite advantage of ancestry at the moment. But the triangulation is one thing that is a definite plus - it is interesting to see how few of the shared matches actually do triangulate. It's hard to say what % it is as I don't think I've yet got to a complete shared match list. I presume even if there isn't triangulation it may still indicate relationships, but probably quite often not.

I think we are way off topic on this thread now, melba. The OP asked about problems with Ancestry shared matches, to which I gave a  solution.

If you wish to discuss the workings of My Heritage's shared matches facilities, it might be best to start another thread.
