THE THEORY OF FAMILY RELATIVITY

When we think of THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY most of us think of Albert Einstein. But over at MyHeritage, they are thinking about THE THEORY OF FAMILY RELATIVITY. It is the new tool they've developed to help identify DNA matches. Recently I received this post.

Hi Peter Frederick,

Good news! We found new theories for 15 DNA Matches of yours that can explain exactly how you are related to those matches, and identify your common ancestors.

Theory of Family Relativity™ is a new feature that we released very recently — and it’s a significant innovation in genetic genealogy. It uses the nearly 10 billion family tree profiles and historical records on MyHeritage to explain the exact connection between you and your DNA Matches. It can also find ancestors of yours that are missing in your family tree.

Learn more about the Theory of Family Relativity™ in our blog post. You can also read reviews of this feature by genealogists who describe how useful it is for solving genealogy dead ends and "brick walls" here and here. To read the original announcement go to www.myheritage.com/DNA
