Ancestry DNA results (online link), Per Ancestry as of 7 Aug 2019 - Your DNA doesn’t change, but the science we (Ancestry) use to analyze it does. Your results may change over time as the science improves.

This test compares your DNA with I believe only those Subscribers of Ancestry who themselves have taken the DNA Test at the time you submit. I am Looking for Descendants of Claude Brudenell Eaton (1879-???) of New Hartford, Oneida Co., NY as of 5 Feb 2019 FTDNA confirmed my being an Eaton connecting back to Francis Eaton (1595-1633) of the Mayflower

Update: since my DNA posting 16 Dec 2016, I now have over 30,000 5th-8th Cousins, several Hundred 4th-6th Cousins, several 2nd-3rd Cousins as a result of my AncestryDNA Autosomal test.

The real challenge of DNA matching is to make sure that any identical pieces of DNA we (Ancestry) find are really identical because of a recent shared ancestor—rather than ancient shared history.

There are other reasons why two people’s DNA could be identical. After all, the genomes of any two humans are 99.9 percent identical. (And the genome of a human is 50 percent identical to the genome of a banana.) Pieces of DNA could be identical between two people because they are both human, because they are of the same ethnicity or come from the same region, because they share some other more ancient shared history, or other reasons. We (Ancestry) call these identical pieces of DNA identical by state (IBS), because the DNA is identical for a reason other than having a recent shared common ancestor.

Looking at the DNA sequence alone doesn’t tell us the difference, so we’ve (Ancestry) developed a ground-breaking scientific method that helps to distinguish DNA that is IBD (Identical By Descent) from DNA that is not. Our (Ancestry) method looks at not only the amount of identical DNA between two people, but also its location in the genome and other features. (Get more details on the process in our white paper pdf) If we find that you have identical DNA with a potential DNA match that appears to be IBS (identical by state) and due more to an ancient shared history, we won’t show them in your list of matches.

I feel Results are also in Combination with Matching your online Family Tree Ancestors (from my 30+ years of researching since 1992), with other's who have posted Private or Public Trees, which may contain 3 to over 77,000 Ancestral Names, unknown to myself which shared Ancestor we have in common.

In regards to yDNA, a rough outline of Genetic Distance for each level of STR* testing can be found in following link.

*STR (short tandem repeat) markers are regions of DNA with short, repeating sequences that are highly variable between individuals.

These charts are base on the average rate of STR marker mutations**. One can be higher then average or lower then average which will skew results....

**STR marker mutations are changes in the number of repeat units in short tandem repeats (STRs), occurring primarily through strand slippage during DNA replication. These mutations can lead to either a gain or loss of repeat units and are a common source of variation, but their frequency can vary based on the STR locus and other factors. They are a key consideration in fields like forensic science and paternity testing, where they can appear as non-Mendelian inheritance patterns between parents and offspring.
