Hello
On a well known genealogy website I have had notification about clusters being a new feature but I am at a loss how it works? Is it running or coming soon?

Much appreciated

M H has had this for ages, they do it for you on request.

I think you have to have A… pro subs to get theirs.

Ancestry blog says it started last summer, just ‘google’ there is lots of information out there.

Do you mean ANCESTRY or FIND MY PAST or...... :-S

Just name the sites, it is allowed :-D

Researching:
I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

I have very few known matches on My Heritage so the clusters don’t really help much as I don’t know anyone in them. Most of my matches on there are so distant it is very difficult to find where to add them to my tree.
I don’t have Ancestry pro but I do have a lot of known matches must closer than all but about 4 on My Heritage.

I think being able to group my Ancestry matches is probably as useful and don’t intend to pay for pro.
