Are you using Shared Maps yet?

With Shared Maps, you can view your matches’ ancestry regions — seeing both the areas you share and the ones you don’t.

Why does that matter?
Because understanding where your DNA overlaps can help you figure out how you’re related and open up exciting new family lines to explore!
