Ancestry.com has just launched a brand-new Auto Clusters tool as part of their Pro Tools subscription—and it’s a game-changer for DNA research!
In this episode, Connie Knox walks you through Ancestry’s new DNA clustering feature. You’ll learn how to access the tool, what the color-coded clusters mean, and how this can help you identify which branches of your family tree your DNA matches belong to.
Connie also explains how to use this tool to group matches by great-grandparent couples, how to interpret the shared matches in each cluster, and how to use this information to break through brick walls in your family history.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced genetic genealogist, this new Auto Clusters tool will help you work smarter with your DNA matches.
