There<\/em> are reports that ThruLines at\u00a0AncestryDNA<\/em> changes data from your tree before it displays it in your ThruLines.<\/p>\n

It does. It doesn’t change what’s in your tree.<\/p>\n

Information in the white boxes in the ThruLines report is “supposed” to be pulled from the tree associated with the DNA test. Not always.<\/p>\n

The ThruLines report for Barbara Siefert indicates that my great-great-grandparents are siblings.\u00a0They were not<\/em>. That’s not how I have them in my tree. They have completely different parents. But because one tree has them that way, ThruLines assumes it’s correct. Because the boxes are white the information in those boxes and the relationships are supposed to be in my tree.<\/p>\n

Yes John M. Trautvetter is in my tree. Yes Franciska Bieger is in my tree. But the only relationship I have for them in my tree is as husband and wife. ThruLines should at least show this wacky, incorrect, not-in-my-tree relationship for John as a gray box as he’s not listed as Barbara’s son in my tree and he’s not listed as Franciska’s brother in my tree.<\/p>\n

Can’t the programmers at\u00a0AncestryDNA<\/em> at least have the ThruLines display show garbage that’s not in my tree as gray boxes?<\/p>\n

Otherwise it looks like this nonsense is coming from my tree.<\/p>\n

Which it’s not. They are’t changing what’s in my tree, but they are claiming information in my ThruLines report is coming from my tree when it’s not.<\/p>\n

I don’t doubt my DNA results and my DNA matches, but this sort of nonsense really starts to make me wonder about the coding that goes into some of these things.<\/p>\n
