Emily🌱When you change your #Ancestry tree, how long does it take for new #ThruLines to populate? #Genealogy
RobertJacksonGives #Thrulines a different vibe.
A couple of new #AncestryDNA #Thrulines appeared overnight each of which seem to involve a "hand shunt" (a toy train set expression for picking it up off one track and plonking it on a different one) where there's a serious disconnect between the trees with records working uphill towards my tree not showing the same parents nor a common child with the people I am dropping down from.
Bearing in mind Thrulines is supposed to be based on trees 
:))
A gentler view which I've adopted only over the past few months.
Enlightenment came when I was working through some crazed #AncestryThrulines that were also throwing up crazed Ancestry hints. The tree of my match was fine. My tree was fine. But #Thrulines was (still is) doing a hand-shunt* between two nearby but distinct lines.
*Hand-shunt ... From a childhood playing with a model train set. 🚂 not on the right track? Just pick it up & plonk it down!
So, this morning #Thrulines has joined the toe-nail clippers and mallet school of jigsaw puzzle solvers.
A new #AncestryDNA match arrived overnight ... his granny and her ancestor are already in my tree so correctly Thrulines instantly suggests a route. However it's a "dotted" route below our second most recent* common ancestor because the algorithm has found and slotted in someone who isn't in either of our trees 😭
No matter ... the algorithm is still a thing of beauty 😍
*An abuse of words

This one is likely to disappear. I sincerely hope it does!
The solid box for Humphry Hatton 1806-1809 had been dotted earlier tonight because he wasn't in my tree ... I hadn't previously found his baptism when working downhill from father Humphrey. It had no yob, only dod 1809.
How the blithering heck he had a daughter Phebe back in 1782 beats me. And granddaughter Mary in 1801 🤪
Thrulines is crazy brilliant. Truly it is. That's why I adore it.
... part of the motivation for researching this person is that it will give me a nice accurate jigsaw puzzle piece that may well illuminate a couple of mysteries on mom's mom's side.
Either by me spotting a connection or by #Thrulines doing its magic.
(Would be interesting to see the paternal link, too!)
Am having to hone my strategy/tactics for new "Common Ancestor" DNA matches on Ancestry.
Had yet another one this morning. I started working downhill on a new thruline. Surname eventually stabilises as Slim but at that point was Slean. Add person and baptism to the tree. Look back at the CA match list and it's disappeared!!
Fortunately I had:
1 ... marked the match as a starred match.
2 ... taken a screenshot of the path!!
(Alternatively I could have written down)
Yippee!! 
Awoke this morning (Monday) to find #AncestryDNA #Thrulines has corrected itself via Henry 1852 so has the correct solid boxes all the way from the #MRCA most recent common ancestor down to the #DNA match.
Am beside myself as this has thrown up another CA DNA match 
So ... Have rechecked #Thrulines a few hours later. The dotted box round Henry Thomas Hatton 1853 has turned into a complete solid box. This is not good. The adjoining dotted box is for a putative son who was from the other Hatton descent line.
#Thrulines is doubling down 😭😭
