How to get ThruLines™

• Take an AncestryDNA® test
• Opt to see and be seen by your DNA matches
• Link your family tree to your DNA test
• Make sure your linked family tree is either public or private but searchable
• Build your linked family tree back at least four generations
• Check in two days; if ThruLines are available, they’ll appear within 48 hours

How it works

We use the public or private and searchable family tree linked to your test to find people who are in both your tree and in other Ancestry member trees that are marked as public or private and searchable. If your tree is private and not searchable, you won’t be able to see ThruLines, and information from your matches’ trees that are private and not searchable won’t be available to you
