The Problem: New Tools, Same Confusion

You see the excitement when Ancestry releases new DNA tools...

But then reality hits:

  • Colorful cluster tables that look impressive but leave you wondering "now what?"
  • Overwhelming displays of grouped matches with no clear next steps
  • Feeling like you're missing something obvious that everyone else seems to understand
  • Wasting time investigating matches one-by-one instead of leveraging the cluster power

You're not alone. Most genealogists get excited about new tools but struggle to turn them into actual family history progress.

The Solution: Strategic Cluster Analysis

What if you could look at your cluster results and know how to determine:

  • Which clusters represent specific ancestral lines
  • Where to start your analysis for maximum impact
  • How to combine clusters with your existing DNA strategies
  • The hidden technique that expands your genetic networks dramatically

That's exactly what you'll learn in this exclusive masterclass.

From Confusion to Clarity

BEFORE This Class:

You’re staring at colorful cluster displays, feeling overwhelmed, investigating matches one at a time

AFTER This Class:

You’re analyzing clusters strategically to identify ancestral lines and expand your genetic networks

  • Reading cluster results like a pro: Understand what those groupings actually represent
  • Starting analysis with confidence: Know exactly where to focus your efforts first
  • Using parent filters strategically: Quickly identify which clusters are maternal vs. paternal
  • Leveraging the "sibling secret" to dramatically expand your cluster analysis

Your New Approach: Instead of investigating one match at a time, you'll analyze entire genetic networks using clusters, trees, and relationships together.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Ancestry Pro Tools to benefit from this class?

While the strategies focus on Ancestry's Pro Tools feature, the clustering concepts and analysis techniques can inform your approach to DNA organization across platforms. However, you'll get the most value if you have Pro Tools access.

Is this live or recorded?

This is a live, interactive 60-minute session on December 11th. You'll also receive 7-day replay access to the recording so you can rewatch, review and practice the strategies.

I'm new to DNA—is this too advanced?

This class is designed for genealogists who already have some experience with grouping their DNA matches. If you're brand new to DNA, consider starting with our Your DNA Guide Tours first.

Will this be offered again?

This is a unique Black Friday special. Even if we offer this class again in the future, it won’t be at this special $10 price.

What if I can't attend live?

You'll be able to watch and practice at your own pace within the 7-day window.

What is the refund policy for this event?

Due to the low cost of this event and the provision of recordings for those who can’t attend, there are no refunds.
