Watch live streaming video from ancestry at livestream.com
Matches that come up when searched by surname Forgey, the one below doesn't, and should |
names one match at a time again (the leaf hints do work however)
. I still have 100 pages of matches to search.
I'm hoping we get a fixed or a revamped search soon!.
I do recommend the Ancestry Livestream video I posted above. Some very good advice is provided.
Right now, with the present tools, finding and evaluating matches is extremely time consuming. Proper evaluation requires uploading raw data to GEDmatch. Most of my matches will not agree to compare there; which presents a problem. Without seeing the segments we share it's difficult to confirm who our shared ancestor is. It would be a nice gesture for Ancestry.com to make a generous donation to GEDmatch since their customers rely on this site so heavily.
Here is my most recent list of connections I found at AncestryDNA. I've found many, and do recommend testing with them. At this point, as I stated before, it can be time consuming digging out all relevent matches. Hopefully the new tools will be aimed towards providing information to help compare DNA segments with matches, and we get a surname and place search that finds what we are searching for every time.
