This month, we explored Ancestry’s clustering tool and how we can use it to answer genealogical questions, or to simply learn from it while we wait for more customization options to happen later this year.
First, I shared my upcoming webinar for Legacy Family Tree Webinars in August. See https://familytreewebinars.com/webinar/5-questions-to-answer-about-your-dna-matches/ for more information and to register, or to view free for a week after the webinar happens (or anytime if you are a Family Tree Webinars subscriber).
Here is some information about Ancestry’s clustering tool:
