One man had a total of 7 people in his tree, yet through multiple connections, we were connected accurately as 5 th cousins. Theories can connect people with almost no tree. It doesnвЂ™t matter though, because I have 4 different solid paths connecting me and my new match. The 5 th path, however, is ambiguous and I canвЂ™t tell if itвЂ™s accurate or not. Of the other 4 paths/Theories, 3 simply connect at different levels in the same basic trees, meaning that I connect at Margaret Claxton instead of Ann McKee. My tree didnвЂ™t extend down far enough to include Roxie. Looking further down this tree, you can see that my match had only extended their tree through Roxie, but a FamilySearch tree spanned the generations between Roxie and our common couple, Charles Speak and Ann McKee. You can click on that percentage to review the match and comparative data. As you can see below, this connection is given a 50% probability weight of being accurate. In some cases, Theories will be for different lines that you share with the same person.Д®ach Theory has a confidence calculation that weighs the reliability of each theory connecting segment based on internal parameters. The reason multiple Theories exist for the same match is because there are different possibilities in terms of how you and your match might be related or how different trees might tie you together.

Theories with DNA matches are formed based on a combination of your tree, your matches tree, other peopleвЂ™s trees, community resource trees like FamilySearch, plus various documents like census records that tie people together. вЂњNo notesвЂќ have no color, so itвЂ™s easy to click through my TOFR matches pages, looking for TOFR matches with no color. Matches with notes show up with a purple note box. ThatвЂ™s OK, because I make notes on each person with whom I have a Theory, plus I keep a separate spreadsheet. You can sort by new matches, but there isnвЂ™t a way to see only your new Theories of Family Relativity. Some will be people who can now connect because someoneвЂ™s tree or research documents now provide enough information to suggest a common ancestor вЂ“ which of course is the foundation of Theories for DNA matches. New Theories result from people who have tested or transferred since TOFR was last run in July 2019. ThatвЂ™s an increase from 52 Theories previously, or a 20% increase. I have 65 matches, many of whom will have multiple Theories for me to evaluate. You can see that clicking on the вЂњView theoriesвЂќ button filters my matches to only those matches who have Theories. I can just click on View Theories to see all of the TOFR, including new ones. Yay, under DNA Matches, I have the purple banner that indicates there are new Theories waiting for me. Every piece of information is utilized in developing Theories. IвЂ™m SOOO glad I added all of those branches to my tree, including all children and grandchildren of my ancestors. The number of MyHeritage users who now have at least one Theory of Family Relativityв„ў for their DNA Matches has increased by 33.6%.

This update increased the number of paths by 40.5% toВ 161,762,761. After the previous update, there were a total of 115,106,944 paths. Sometimes we arrive at a theory through multiple paths, indicating a strong theory and providing additional supporting evidence. The number of DNA Matches that include a theory increased by 42.5% from 9,964,321 toВ 14,201,731.

MyHeritage has run their Theories of Family Relativity (abbreviated sometimes as TOFR) software again, refreshing their database, which means more Theories of Family Relativity for DNA testers.
