Ancestry SideView Technology to be Extended

The common ancestor is from information in other peoples trees, not from DNA matching.

How would you know if you had previously got the assignment between maternal and paternal wrong?

I had previously assigned to either maternal or paternal side and now those same groups of people are saying the same thing and appearing correctly under either maternal or paternal matches.  Would there be some indication that I had said maternal for instance and that the match was appearing in the paternal listing?  Or did I simply get it right every time?

I had parent 1 and parent 2 assigned by Ancestry and maternal and paternal (and in one instance both) assigned by me) By one of my correct assignations there was a note saying parent 1 looked like paternal, did I want to change parent 1 . When I said yes, all the matches turned to eithe maternal or paternal, but the ones I had previously assigned but Ancestry had unassigned had a note by them to say they were custom labeled ( meaning I did it)

But I have a match from maternal side (1C1R) who I have verified and she and I have several shared matches,which is obviously picked up from DNA matches not CAs / other peoples trees. Why are some of those shared matches showing up as unassigned? they should follow the same line as the match.

These shared matches aren't particularly low (30 - 35 cM). One is my grandmother's brother's grandson, so reasonably close relative.

On the All Matches page I have a note saying Paternal side/Maternal side/Unassigned but against the odd one or two of these labels is an ! mark in a circle.  When I click on this it says 'This is a label you selected for this match'.

Is this telling me that it was unassigned in their algorithm but they have gone along with my previous labelling or are they suggesting that my previous labelling, which they have stuck with, might be the incorrect parent?  I know it is not the wrong side as it is a first cousin.

Yes, that explains the CA one but the mother/daughter remains a mystery

I'm getting some issues with shared matches. I've got paternal matches whose shared matches are maternal (and vice versa), and some matches whose shared matches are a mixture of both.

Do your parents come originally from the same geographical area?

[CorleyMiller]

My maternal grandmother's line and my paternal grandparents lines mostly all come from within an area with an approx 40 mile diameter.  The new feature indicates I have no 'Both Sides' matches at all. If my parents lines were somehow related surely there would be at least one indicated as such amongst my 23,000 matches?
