Ancestry’s NEW 2025 Ethnicity/Origins Update + 500th Episode Celebration

Ancestry’s Exciting Ethnicity Estimate Update & DNA Kit Giveaway! | Genealogy TV’s 500th Episode Celebration. This is Ancestry’s biggest update to date.

In this milestone 500th episode of Genealogy TV, I welcome corporate genealogist Crista Cowan from Ancestry to discuss the latest updates to Ancestry’s ethnicity estimates. 

We discuss the annual fall update process, which now includes more precise data and numerous new regions. Also, Crista elaborates on the distinction between ‘origins’ and ‘journeys’ in the context of AncestryDNA and how these help in tracing family history.

Lastly, we talked off of the DNA subject about the image matching capabilities that is new on Ancestry called “Face Match.”
