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.”
