Though this is a very common question people have, it is not easy to answer. How many generations back is 1% of your DNA? These are all great tools that can help you build out and validate a family tree.
By clicking on a match, you will find several options to compare family trees, compare your ethnicity estimates (see the image above), or explore your shared matches. However, you definitely need to validate these relationships with further research - since different relationships can produce similar amounts of shared DNA. Keep in mind that Ancestry estimates your relationship with different people based on the amount of DNA that you share. You can directly compare your ethnicity estimate to any of your connections to see where you are the same and where you are different. Then, Ancestry will present you with hundreds of distant family members that you only share a small portion of DNA with. Next will be a section of “close family” like brothers, sisters, parents, and grandparents.
In other words, if you have an identical twin, they will be listed first. This page has a ton of great features, starting with a breakdown of your matches by how closely they are related to you. Head back to the DNA Results Summary, and click on the second item - “View All DNA Matches.” This will take you to your DNA match result page. This is a great way to confirm or validate various ancestral connections you may share with your DNA matches!
The interactive map will change to show you the connections between different areas and communities over time. If you click on a specific community, you can scroll down to read about different points throughout history and how people from these communities moved around the globe. Communities are a cool new feature from Ancestry that allows you to track the immigration and emigration between different communities over time (see the image above). You will also notice that some of your regions may include specific “communities.” Each community is a slightly different color and will be surrounded by a dotted line on the map.

You can also see the full range of estimates as to how this region may have contributed to your DNA.Ĭheck out the Communities you are a part of to discover how your ancestors may have migrated through history! When you click on a region, you can find a short summary of the region and links to more detailed articles. On the map, these regions are colored and circled by a solid white line. Each region will display a percentage - a rough estimate of how much of your DNA comes from people who originated in this region. First, take a look at the Ethnicity Estimate that will appear on the right side of the page. Once you click on the link to access your DNA story, you will be taken to a map that shows a number of great features. Click on the link “Discover Your DNA Story” to get started! (These are your basic ethnicity results.) To start, let’s take a look at your DNA Story, accessible through the link next to number 1. The green boxes next to each number will take you directly to different parts of your DNA ancestry results. The image above shows the specific step number that pertains to each section of your DNA results. The red numbers correlate to each step of reading and maximizing your results that we have outlined in this article!
