I occasionally use Ancestry’s ThruLines to get a quick suggestion about a DNA match. I always thought that what was in the white boxes of the display of a ThruLines relationship and any relationship connections between boxes all came from me tree.
Apparently not.
The white boxes in this illustration are all for people who are in the tree tied to my DNA results at AncestryDNA. But I do not show Trientje U. Behrens and Trientje H. Behrens as half-sisters in my tree. Trientje H. is a double first cousin of Trientje U. Behrens in my tree because that’s the relationship between those two individuals.
I’ve always confirmed from other sources what was in the gray boxes of a ThruLines match. Now it appears that I’ll now have to confirm at least the relationshsips between the white boxes as shows on ThruLines to make certain what ThruLines is showing is actually what’s in my tree.
