Ancestry Thrulines
« on: Saturday 21 August 21 17:09 BST (UK) »
My husband got his DNA results a few days ago.  He has tried joining Thrulines but just gets this when he tries "We are sorry, this page is temporarily unavailable.  You can try reloading the page or come back later".  Is anyone else having the same problem?

Has he linked a tree and is it searchable?

He has, which is why we don't understand why it is not working.

The only other thing that I can think of is that they are still processing the tree/common ancestor links. I seem to remember it took a few days for mine to come through after I'd linked my tree.

The only other thing is that his name in the tree to which his dna is linked must be exactly the same as the name under which his dna was processed.

Thanks Pheno, will wait a few days and try again.  Mine worked, but I think I waited longer than we have with his.  Not enough patience.

How to get ThruLines™

    Take an AncestryDNA® test
    Opt to see and be seen by your DNA matches
    Link your family tree to your DNA test
    Make sure your linked family tree is either public or private but searchable
    Build your linked family tree back at least four generations
    Check back in two days; if ThruLines™ are available, they'll appear within 48 hours

...and when they do appear, a timely reminder for caution, which I wish many would read and heed:

.Accuracy. Since ThruLines™ are based on the family trees of you and other members of Ancestry, they're as accurate as the trees they're based on. Mistakes in family trees can cause inaccurate ThruLines™. Because they're based on trees, ThruLines™ don't prove your specific connection to a DNA match.
