Ancestry SideView Technology to be Extended

[Gadget]

It seems that this facility has been removed. No option on the top of the Matches page for me now.

It seems that the Beta testing might have run into problems or  ??


Gadget

Add - is it now under the Groups category?

It's gone for me also, Gadget, but was there Friday. Closest I can see at the moment is under DNA matches- under button for Groups comes Shared matches with mother? buy kit and Shared matches with father? buy kit. I DID BUY A KIT

Still there for me. The only difference is that when I logged in just now a large pop-up box opened saying "We've split your matches by maternal and paternal...". I clicked through that and it all looks the same as before - "By parent (Beta), All matches or By Location".

Hi Gadget

It is still on the matches page for me. Worth remembering that it did come and go in its early stages.

Thanks, William. 

I did find it a few minutes after I posted and added to my post.

It did seem fewer in each category with that option than before and doesn't give the unassigned, etc. so I'm wondering if it is using my allocation rather than their 'guesstimate'

Still on the matches page for me too. 8,882 maternal, 6,796 paternal and 5,170 unassigned. Pretty much what I had before from memory.

I think you're special, Phil 

I've checked in the Groups again and there's no unassigned as well. My matches seem to have reverted to the previous version.

I've had a quick look at my colour coded listings and they are showing far more cases as paternal /maternal

Had another looks and it's changed but not to way it was until today. Now under Groups I get-
New matches (99), Mother's side (199) and father's side (122) then colour coded groups.
However, the numbers don't add up-
Mother's side- 199 matches but my yellow group (her father's family) shows 309 and brown group (her paternal grandmother's family shows 9 and blue group (her paternal grandfather's family) shows 38. So, 309 + 9 + 38 = 356 not 199!
Father's side- 122 matches but his groups 134 + 12 + 45 + 23 = 214 not 122!
Note: for all of the above matches in groups I have selected paternal and maternal side. I know that for at least the group with only 7 matches I should have more known relatives (have selected as maternal match and selected relationship).
