AncestryDNA ThruLines

In late February, Ancestry.com announced new features: MyTreeTags, improved DNA Matches and ThruLines.

ThruLines is the most exciting addition to AncestryDNA results. ThruLines makes it easier to discover how you're connected to your DNA matches by finding shared ancestors in your family trees.

The following video from Ancestry demonstrates how this works.

Also note that ThruLines is currently available to DNA testers without an Ancestry subscription for a limited time!
